Throughout the month March, DCEO celebrates Women’s HERstory Month today they share my story. I have been inspired by amazing women and I am honored by this highlight.
With a mind for business and a passion for Latin cuisine, Eliuth Guzman combined her career in corporate sales with her customer service and event planning skills, opening Latin Plate Catering & Events in Chicago. Starting with cotillions, birthdays, and weddings, word soon spread and Eliuth was catering 1,000 corporate lunches a week with her staff. When COVID-19 cancelled most catering events, Eliuth sought a Business Interruption Grant (BIG) to keep her 12-year-old business going. “With the grant, I was able to keep our kitchen open. In the catering business, if you don’t have a kitchen, you don’t have a business,” said Eliuth. This success has given Eliuth and her husband the confidence to launch a new business, World Nutrition Café and Protein Smoothie Bar in Wicker Park this past October. Latin Plate is particularly grateful to continue their weekly delivery of food to health care workers at nearby RUSH University Medical Center. See what’s cooking: www.facebook.com/Latinplatecatering
