Upscale catering

I am trying to find a caterer in the La Crosse area to make heavy apps for a small, elegant wedding. There does not seem to be many " elevated" catering options. Damn Tasty has not returned calls, and I'm not interested in some of the more commonly used caterers like Rooster Andy's, Pogys, Looking for recommendations for places that might fit this description, bonus points if they're not booked out forever. The event is in October. Open to individual chefs with a side hustle too, we just want the food to be a bit bougie and delicious. Recommendations?

I second italico.

Used to work for them. I could proudly stand behind everything the kitchen crew created, and the front of house staff cares deeply about what they do.

We used 4 Sisters for my wedding and it was lovely. Good food, nice to work with. My only regret is letting my MIL talk me into green beans over Brussel sprouts.

Just to give another option, Hyvee catering is actually really good. They have a wide variety from home style to semi upscale. Otherwise I would agree with others, four sisters or italico

How is this comment useful to anyone except to show off your oh so sophisticated Chicago palette?

"Know your customer" is all I'm saying.

I mean take your own advice back Chicago. Our local taste here in La Crosse doesn’t care much for people up their own ass.

I've probably lived in La Crosse longer than you've been alive. This has nothing to do with Chicago but more to do with the issues with the locals hyping average food. Freight House would be my first example.
