Truly a trendsetter, Culinary Artist Katie O’Reilly is a wholly unique talent in the overcrowded food industry. Her all-encompassing knowledge of all things food, combined with her artistic passion and educated and extensive palette, and added to the fact that she feeds over 40,000 guests each year, has elevated Katie’s culinary designs to the rarefied air of creativity and flavor profiles that only the top chefs enjoy. As former Co-President, Co-Owner and Culinary Designer of the prominent High End Chicago caterer Kenmare Catering and Events, Katie created over 700 sensational menu items, and has designed menus for over 2500 high end events over her career. Katie’s clients include US Presidents, celebrities, major corporations, international not for profit groups and high profile weddings, as well as for countless less famous but equally important self-proclaimed “foodies.” Today, she brings that same energy to Katie O’s Food Carnival, where she serves as President, Culinary Artist, and Owner.
