About Us

The Hearty Boys Caterers is one of Chicago’s best known and most sought after catering companies. Chefs Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh bring their prowess to Chicago events in the same way that they brought to Food Network and their two cookbooks. Along with the team, Dan and Steve have been delighting Chicagoans with a full range of services for nearly twenty years. Our secret is no secret…we just love a party. We love it all, intimate dinner parties, noisy crowded cocktail parties, big splashy galas with draping and lighting effects, office parties that manage to bring everyone together, hip weddings that seem uniquely Chicago. You should hire a caterer that feels the same way about your party as you do, someone who is really involved with their food, someone who is able to listen to your vision and talented enough to make that vision a reality, someone who always remembers that above all else, a party is about food and fun. And that’s The Hearty Boys focus…we’ve assembled some of Chicago’s finest talent to offer you vibrant cuisine and fresh ideas…all prepared by and served by people you’ll like.
