For over 70 years, D'Masti Catering's team of experienced and creative professionals have been creating unforgettable events!
Dan “Poppie” Mastantuono Sr. worked for the University Club of Chicago before starting his own business in 1946.
He was a familiar face at the Fulton Market for years, and was once featured on local television in that setting.
His biggest honor was to be blessed by the Pope when the company prepared the only formal dinner for the Papal entourage upon their visit to Chicago. He loved coming in to work until he passed way at the age of 87 in 1986.
Dan Mast, second generation and executive chef / consultant emeritus, took culinary courses at Purdue University and the Culinary Institute of America.
Dan studied pastry, chocolate making and ice carving under John Zenker (famed pastry check and best known for making President Kennedy’s birthday cake). He was one of the founders, and past president, of the International Caterers Association. He continued to work until his death in 2020 at the age of 88.
Mark Mast, Operations and Sales Manager, he taught food service management, sanitation and purchasing at Moraine Valley Community College. He currently sits on the Advisory Board for Moraine Valley Community College. He was one of the event coordinators for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Park City, UT.
