MASKS ARE NOW OPTIONAL
We've been wearing masks for two years to keep ourselves and our customers safe. We will continue to do so, and some of our customers will as well. If you are showing any signs of illness, please place a curbside pickup order, 630-887-4700, $25 minimum.
IF JUST ONE PERSON ON OUR STAFF GETS SICK, WE WILL HAVE TO CLOSE FOR UP TO 2 WEEKS. THAT WOULD BE A HUGE FINANCIAL PROBLEM FOR US AS A SMALL BUSINESS WITH PERISHABLE PRODUCT. A MASK IS NOT PUNISHMENT, IT'S NOT POLITICAL, IT'S A WAY TO PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION OF GERMS.

Pick up some suggested party menu ideas the next time you're in the store - enjoy your guests, let us do the work!
In late June we catered a fun event for a family in Wilmette - a combined 40th and 5th birthday party, father and son. Another father and son duo, Burhop's Chef Jaime and his son Jonny, cooked up kebabs, lobster tails, sweet corn and more for a happy crowd of many ages. According to the hostess:
"An AMAZING feast thanks to you, John and Jamie. The food was amazing and the chefs could not have been nicer. Everyone was raving and we certainly let them know who to call! Thank you again, you have very satisfied customers."

Recently we did an oyster bar for a party in Hinsdale, and a lobster tail birthday party in Kenilworth.
And in early October, we did a socially distanced wedding reception with individual lobster boil dinners.
If you have something to celebrate, do it with great seafood! We will custom design a menu, just for you. To find out more, email us at [email protected], or call us at 630-887-4700.
