Inspection summary
EXQUISITE CATERING CO. has been inspected 3 times by Chicago Department of Public Health since April 17, 2025. The most recent inspection, on June 11, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.
None of the 3 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 3 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct food-handling risks.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 11, 2026. For example:
ADEQUATE VENTILATION & LIGHTING; DESIGNATED AREAS USED
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.
Recorded once on February 11, 2026. For example:
CITY OF CHICAGO FOOD SERVICE SANITATION CERTIFICATE
