BEYOND CATERING

Written by Events Lakes at Lacey on .

Nearly 40 years ago, Buona Beef opened its first restaurant serving authentic Italian Beef & Sausage. When a neighbor requested lasagna as good as the beef, Grandma’s legendary recipe sparked a broader culinary offering. As demand grew, the menu expanded, establishing a reputation as one of Chicago’s most trusted corporate and social caterers. To meet diverse tastes, the company launched Beyond Catering & Events, featuring globally inspired dishes crafted by some of Chicago’s finest chefs using fresh, organic ingredients. Today, it stands as one of the region’s largest full-service caterers, bringing passion and precision to weddings, galas, corporate events, and large-scale gatherings across Chicagoland and beyond.
