about
There’s history in our making
The year was 1983 and Jim Horan was catering small jobs in the film industry. With just himself, a van and his growing popularity of providing delicious fare, Jim turned his passion into a business and Blue Plate began.
Today, our 500 plus team operates out of a state-of-the-art facility on Chicago's near West Side, feeding and serving the city in some of Chicago’s most historic and famous venues.
As we continue to grow, Blue Plate’s distinct Chicago personality will always pervade, continuing the close-knit boutique feel to our ever expanding, ever evolving operation.
