Chef Dawn Wilson
As the owner and driving force behind A NEW DAWN personal chef service since 2006, Executive Chef Dawn Wilson has provided catering, personal chef services, and cooking instruction to clients in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs to rave reviews. Formerly a Research Scientist with Biology and Molecular Genetics degrees from Loyola University and University of Chicago, Dawn's passion for cooking and entertaining led her away from the lab and into the kitchen. She developed her culinary style while working at Bin 36, Cafe Las Bellas Artes, and several catering companies in Chicagoland. As the Culinary Director for Whole Foods Market-Northbrook, she taught cooking classes and launched the private event program. Chef Dawn helped introduce and execute the fresh hand-made pasta program for the opening of Balena, the italian-inspired concept from Boka Restaurant Group and B. Hospitality Co.
In 2011, Dawn moved to the small Tuscan town of Colle Val d'Elsa where she worked at the rustic Slowfood restaurant, Officina della Cucina Popolare, learning the secrets of Tuscan cuisine. Following her stage at Officina, she traveled and tasted her way throughout Italy with stops in many regions including Emilia-Romagna, Umbria, Veneto, Piedmont, and Lazio.

Chef and Owner Zachary Greatting started Brix Catering & Events in 2012 as a passion project, to bring food and wine pairing to people's homes.

It was during this time that the original idea for Brix came to fruition. After Ria closed, Zach took a position in wine sales, which allowed him the time on nights and weekends to start catering. One wine dinner led to another, and referrals grew the business from a hobby to the full service catering and events company that Brix is today.
