Local Catering Company Launches Global Division for Chicago’s Expanding International Business Sector

(Chicago, IL) As holiday party season approaches, many companies are looking for ways to bridge the gap between tried and true traditions and modern celebrations that reflect the international nature of their business. Wendy Pashman, owner of Chicago-based Entertaining Company, has developed One World Events, a division of her $5 million up-market catering company that was specially designed to create events with global flair.

“In the past few years, we have noticed the need to accommodate Chicago’s growing clout in the international business world. When holiday time comes around many companies are looking for alternatives to traditional Christmas celebrations. Since food is part of the social fabric that joins people of diverse backgrounds, we create a theme, menu and look that is tailored to each client’s specific needs and budget, no matter how extraordinary the request,” says Pashman.

If trying to please everyone seems like an uphill battle, Pashman knows the solution: “Accommodate your guests’ dietary requirements and their taste buds will follow. A client once called us to plan a holiday event for her staff which was mainly vegetarian. After talking to her in depth, we decided the perfect solution was to offer a vegetarian Indian station. She and the guests were thrilled at the unique - and tasty - option. More and more, we are creating specialty menus for our corporate clients. The one-menu-fits-all holiday event is over”.

Whether it’s an event that highlights the colors and flavors of a specific culture or region of the world, Entertaining Company applies the knowledge and inspiration their team has gathered from travel to exotic locales, local markets, city streets, world music, Bollywood movies, European travel and explorations into Chicago’s ethnic neighborhoods. Playing with the elements of color, texture, taste and spice, the company creates an artisanal experience in a processed world.

According to Pashman, “Chicago has truly become a melting pot and we are happy to celebrate this urban reality!”
