Meet Kitchfix, Official Food Provider for Our St. Patrick’s Party

Naturally Chicago is so pleased that our friends at Kitchfix are catering a sumptuous meal for our members-only St. Patrick’s Party this Thursday (March 16) at SRW Agency, 660 W. Randolph St. in Chicago’s West Loop.

Kitchfix is a health- and sustainability-focused catering company that does home delivery of prepared meals ordered online. Chef Josh Katt, Kitchfix Founder/Owner, is a believer in Naturally Chicago’s mission and formerly served on our organization’s Board of Directors.

According to Megan McMahon, Vice President of Marketing at Kitchfix, “Our chefs are preparing a fantastic menu tailored for Naturally Chicago that we are sure will please the crowd for St. Paddy's Day.” She continued, “I do want to mention a standout dish for the event, our Lion's Mane Irish Stew, which is both gluten-free and vegan and uses produce from our local purveyors, Windy City Mushrooms.”

The full menu includes a Gaelic buffet featuring the vegan Irish Stew, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Bangers and Gravy, Colcannon, Mustard Roasted Red Potatoes, Sauteed Cabbage and Kale, Irish Soda Bread, House Salad with Caraway Vinaigrette and Ranch, and Guinness Cupcakes with Irish Cream Frosting.

There will also be plated stations with a Mezze Platter (pita chips, olives, crudites, hummus, tzatziki, falafels, dolmas and marinated feta); Crudites and Dips (assorted vegetables, pita chips, roasted garlic hummus, and creamy Ranch dip), and Avocado Oil Fried Potato Chips with French onion dip.

Along with great food, the celebration will feature a bagpiper (this was a big hit at last year’s St. Patrick’s Party, also held at SRW); delicious cocktails — including an Irish Old Fashioned — prepared with cold-pressed juices from Twisted Alchemy, a Natural Chicago sponsor; beer (Guinness, of course, as well as Stella Artois and Coors Light); cider; and hard seltzers. Two local companies, Danie’s Natural Juice Blends and Realsy Snacks, will be sampling their products at the event.

And of course, this will be a great opportunity to make new industry friends and business contacts.

A Message from Our Head Chef and Founder

Kitchfix Founder and Head Chef Josh Katt

Any chef worth their salt can tell you of the transformative power of food. It can alter your mood, bring people together, and fuel your life. Having worked as a restaurant chef for years, I saw this firsthand.

However, it wasn’t until I worked as a personal chef for a client recovering from cancer that I truly learned that food can do more — it has the power to heal, to comfort, and to restore.

I researched and relied on powerhouse superfoods; lean meats/seafood; organic produce; and flavorful herbs/spices to create delicious, satisfying meals that helped regain my client’s wellness.

But it’s not just people in recovery who can benefit from this type of thoughtful eating. With Chicagoans looking towards cleaner, ready-to-eat meals to help fuel their busy lives … the idea of Kitchfix was conceived.

In 2012, we began delivery of delicious, mindfully prepared meals throughout the Chicagoland area. Since then, we’ve provided a rotating selection of diet-specific selections that are thoughtfully prepared by actual chefs and approved by our staff nutritionist.

It is our mission to provide convenient options to all consumers who are seeking to better their bodies and minds through trusted, proven, delicious food.

To your wellness, with gratitude,

Chef Josh Katt
