PARAMOUNT REDEFINES

Forget what you thought you knew about catering

 

In fact, throw out the word catering altogether. We’re not here to serve you mediocre food in an outdated banquet hall. Paramount Events exists to create a thoughtful connection between exceptional cuisine and experiences that raise the bar of what’s possible in food service.

FRESH FROM THE START

Always natural, and always quality

 

Although we’ve left the four walls of a restaurant for an off-site venue in Chicago, the quality of the cuisine has not been compromised. Paramount Events has worked meticulously to create a culinary team that includes years of professional experience and diverse backgrounds throughout the restaurant and food service industries. Premium food begins with premium ingredients, inspiring our chefs to seek out the most quality ingredients and maintain a constant effort to source ingredients from local farms and purveyors. We also source from our on-site greenhouse, allowing Paramount to provide freshly picked herbs, produce, and garnishes year-round.
