About Us

Auntie Vee’s Kitchen was officially founded in 2012 when Navena Moore began selling gourmet desserts and pastries at a local farmer’s market—long before we became known for serving the best mac & cheese in Chicago’s northwest suburbs and the surrounding areas. After a year of positive reviews and glowing praise from the public, we branched out in 2013 by opening a food truck, which soon became our primary business location. In 2015, we proudly participated in Mac & Cheese Fest, competing against high-profile establishments such as Michael Jordan’s Steak House, Noodles & Company, Connie’s Pizza, and many other celebrated restaurants. And we won! We proudly took home the Golden Noodle for First Place in the Chicago Mac & Cheese category.

After Mac & Cheese Fest, we began to expand our menu with savory selections. In 2017, we officially changed our name to Auntie Vee’s Kitchen and started offering a complete menu of delicious dishes. Our menu features an impressive range of entrees, including our Jerk Chicken Protein Bowl served with a base of garlic butter rice and (of course) our award-winning mac & cheese. Our food is available for both drop-off and on-site catering, and you’ll even find us at food festivals and various pop-ups in Chicago and the Chicagoland area. We invite you to join us as we continue our evolution and journey to sweet and savory indulgence.
