Milwaukee, WI — 41Fork Hospitality, the Milwaukee-based, woman-owned hospitality collective behind Noble Catering & Events and Neat Beverage Catering, proudly announces the launch of Wandering Fork, a new private dining and experiential hospitality brand born from client demand.
[inarticled]Originally inspired by requests from Noble Catering clients seeking more intimate, chef-driven gatherings, Wandering Fork was created to serve a growing desire for meaningful, smaller-scale experiences that don’t fit the traditional catering mold. From networking dinners and executive roundtables to milestone celebrations, donor gatherings, and curated social evenings, Wandering Fork is designed to meet guests wherever connection is the priority.
“Over time, our Noble clients began asking for something different, dinners for twelve at home, leadership gatherings around a single table, curated evenings designed for conversation,” said Kaelyn Cervero, Founder of 41Fork Hospitality. “We realized this wasn’t simply catering on a smaller scale. It required a different pace, a different structure, and a more immersive culinary approach. Wandering Fork was built specifically for that.”
Not Scaled Down — Intentionally Designed
While Noble Catering & Events specializes in full-service weddings, corporate events, and large-format celebrations across Milwaukee, Wandering Fork is intentionally crafted for depth over volume.
Noble delivers high-touch event production at scale. Wandering Fork delivers immersive, chef-led dining experiences designed around conversation and connection. Experiences may include:
- Multi-course tasting menus
- Networking and leadership dinners
- Private in-home celebrations
- Board or executive gatherings
- Curated wine and spirit pairings in partnership with Neat Beverage Catering
- Pop-up collaborations in unique spaces
Each event is fully customized, from menu development and service flow to beverage programming and overall atmosphere, ensuring that the culinary experience enhances the purpose of the gathering.
Chef-Led Culinary Direction
Wandering Fork is led by Chef Chris Paulos, former Executive Chef of Noble Catering, alongside Chef Adam Miller, 41Fork Hospitality’s Director of Food & Beverage. Chef Paulos brings a refined, ingredient-driven approach shaped by years of leading Noble’s culinary team. Wandering Fork allows him to focus more intimately on storytelling through food, direct guest interaction, and multi-course experiences that unfold intentionally throughout the evening.
Chef Miller oversees food and beverage strategy across the 41Fork portfolio, ensuring consistency, innovation, and elevated beverage integration across each experience. Together, the chefs bring restaurant-level execution into private environments, without sacrificing the warmth and personalization that define 41Fork’s hospitality philosophy.
Hospitality Without Location Limits
Wandering Fork experiences can take place in private homes, offices, boardrooms, galleries, and other meaningful locations selected by the host. For clients without a private venue, Wandering Fork will also collaborate with select partners, including 41Fork’s newly announced partnership with Kinn Guesthouse, offering curated, design-forward spaces that pair seamlessly with the brand’s intimate dining format.
“At its core, Wandering Fork is about creating space for people to gather intentionally,” Cervero added. “Whether it’s building relationships, celebrating a milestone, or bringing leaders together, we believe hospitality has the power to elevate the moment.”
