About the Business

Lenore’s Kitchen Catering is an off‑premise catering company founded by Lillia Key two decades ago. Raised in Chicago’s Englewood community, Ms. Key learned the art of cooking and entertaining from her mother, grandmother, and great‑aunts. In college, she refined those skills by cooking nightly for her neighborhood and planning social club events at major downtown hotels.

Today, Lenore’s Kitchen delivers exceptional catering and event planning for private and corporate clients. Our team is dedicated to excellence, using only the freshest, highest‑quality ingredients and supporting local growers who practice organic and sustainable methods. We tailor every event to be distinctive and unforgettable.

“Remember, the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.” Let Lenore’s Kitchen provide extraordinary service for you. We proudly serve corporations, faith‑based organizations, government offices, and schools across Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana.
