Hi TBone and welcome to Chef Talk. A lot of what you said about yourself describes me, too. I grew up a it farther west (Quad Cities) but know the Chicago area pretty well. I also had wonderful home cooks to teach me the basics. I think the emotional aspects of cooking are best learned this way.

Good luck in your quest to get the catering business started! You'll want to hang out in the Professsional Catering forum to ask questions of the people with some experience under their belts.

I hope we see you here often! Enjoy-
