Inflight Catering · Chicago
Private aviation catering at ORD
Chicago has one of the most serious food cultures in the United States, and it runs deep into its supply chains. The Great Lakes shore delivers exceptional freshwater fish — yellow perch, lake trout, whitefish — that move from dock to kitchen the same morning. The city's meatpacking legacy is still active: dry-aged prime beef from Illinois and Wisconsin operations remains among the most consistently sourced in the Midwest, and it boards at KORD tasting exactly as it should. Farther out, the flat agricultural belt surrounding the city produces sweet corn, heirloom tomatoes, and stone fruit through the summer months — the kind of produce that doesn't need to travel far to arrive at peak condition. Our sourcing follows the season, not a fixed menu. What goes on board a ORD departure in July bears little resemblance to what we plate in January, and that's deliberate.
Regional Catering Menu · Chicago
Chicago inflight catering
A Chicago-anchored menu has range: Great Lakes whitefish, simply prepared with lemon and fresh herb, holds well in galley service and reads as local without demanding explanation. Bone-in short rib braised low and slow — built on Illinois beef — travels in a way that most proteins don't, arriving at altitude in better condition than it left the kitchen. For lighter configurations, a composed salad of summer grain, roasted sweet corn, and pickled cherry pepper brings the agricultural character of the region onto the tray without crowding the galley. Polish-heritage baked goods — rye loaves, poppy-seed pastries — are a quiet nod to Chicago's working-class culinary history and pair well with a pre-departure breakfast service.
