  • LEVY TEAM MOMENTS

    It all began in Chicago.

    In 1978, brothers Larry and Mark Levy invested in D.B. Kaplan's Delicatessen in Chicago's Water Tower Place. With help from their mother, Eadie, and some authentic family recipes, Levy Restaurants was born.

    Larry and Mark called on their mom, Eadie, to help at the deli. Thereafter, Eadie Levy was known as our “Company Mom”

    Sports catering was born.

    In 1982, Levy pioneered the concept of fine dining in stadiums at the old Comiskey Park (then home of the Chicago White Sox). In 1985, we expanded our services to Wrigley Field, and the rest is history.
