Inspired

In 2015, Karen and Gina Stefani solidified their passion for the hospitality industry by rebranding Phil Stefani Signature Events and becoming a certified Women Business Enterprise. This proud family tradition began with Phil in 1980 when he and his Uncle Lino opened their flagship restaurant, Stefani's, in the heart of Lincoln Park. Today, Inspired Catering and Events prides itself on its unparalleled customer service, quality and attention to detail. Together with a dedicated staff, Inspired Catering and Events brings the legacy of the company to over 100 off premise venues, Chicago street fairs, and in-home private dining.

The kitchen is under the direction of Chef Elizabeth Tokarczyk. Chef Liz's creative culinary style is mostly Eastern European influenced from family, however Latin flavors take the forefront. She enjoys sourcing ingredients from local farmers markets and believes in local sustainability. "Shopping at these venues makes me weak in the knees."
