History

Established in 2015.

The Shared Plate is a personal chef and boutique catering company serving Chicagoans healthy, natural food, but it is also much more than that. It is a contribution to a movement that is trying to change the way people nourish themselves. Food is perhaps the greatest connector we have in a time when real connection is seriously waning. We all have to eat, and so we find ourselves sitting down at tables together, sharing food, stories, cultures and traditions. The unique way food brings people together coupled with a dedicated commitment to real, natural food, health and wellness is the inspiration behind The Shared Plate.
