Apple Spice is Chicago's premier box lunch delivery and catering company for businesses, meetings, and special events. After spending 20+ years practicing law and consulting, it was time for a personal reinvention and a new passion project. I explored a number of start-ups and small business opportunities, but when I was introduced to Apple Spice I knew I’d found something special. My first bite of the signature bread was a game-changer, and I wanted to bring that same experience to everyone in Chicago. But Apple Spice delivers so much more than delicious meals. It offers reliability and peace of mind for meal-time decision makers who are responsible for planning events and meetings. I’ve seen the inside of many conference rooms, so I understand the players: the anxious meeting planner, the high-brow executive, the picky dieter, the skeptical client. Once we’re in your office breakfast and lunch rotation, you’ll understand why I fell in love with Apple Spice.
