About Mom's Hungry Kitchen
My Career
I am Maria Monastero-Orszula, a Chicago-based content creator with lifelong experience in the restaurant industry. I managed my family’s restaurant, Monastero's Ristorante & Banquets, for 16 of the 55 years it proudly served Chicagoland. I bring an authentic, insider perspective to everything related to food and hospitality.
In addition to my restaurant background, I spent many years in real estate. Following the closing of Monastero’s, I have led multiple philanthropic campaigns in my Park Ridge, Illinois, community. Most recently, I spearheaded the funding of 11 new inclusive playgrounds in Park Ridge designed for children with disabilities—an achievement I am deeply proud of.
My Family
I am a mother of three wonderful children, ages 4, 13, and 16, and have been married for 17 years. Becoming a content creator has given me the flexibility to remain present for my children while building a brand and business of my own. I love that my kids are able to watch me grow something meaningful using my skills and education. My family is my world.
My Goals
My goal for Mom’s Hungry Kitchen is to continue growing a highly engaged community built on trust. I want my audience to feel confident that any recipe, restaurant, hotel, or Airbnb I recommend meets a high standard of quality and authenticity. My long term goal for my family recipes and cooking, is to partner with kitchen brands I trust, and someday bring my food back to the world in some way like my father did.
