Cody’s Belly Bites

Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)

Starts at $5,500
Serves Crystal Lake, IL
Offer

Cody’s Belly Bites was born during the COVID-19 pandemic when I converted a van into a mobile kitchen, delivering fresh, homemade meals to frontline workers across Chicago. Even after opening and closing a restaurant while pregnant during uncertain times, I kept going. What began as affordable meal plates in underserved communities grew into a full-service private chef and catering company operating from a licensed commercial kitchen. Today, we cater weddings, corporate events, and intimate gatherings with heart, excellence, and purpose — always serving food made with love.

“Cody's Belly Bites exceeded every expectation. From inquiry to execution, Chef Cody was professional, organized, and detail-oriented. The communication was fast and great, and the team's work was heartfelt. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious—guests are still talking about the Jerk Chicken Mac & Cheese and espresso buttercream cake! Cody and his team went above and beyond what was on our invoice and threw in a few extra freebies, keeping their word. The team was punctual, polished, and made hosting stress-free. If you want elevated cuisine with flawless execution, this is the caterer to book.”

We like to focus on what our clients want--and we've found they want creativity, dependability and versatility at an affordable price.

“The Caterist was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were highly responsive, answering all of our questions promptly and addressing any concerns we had. Their communication style was fantastic. The quality of their work was fabulous - they completely customized the menu to our tastes, incorporating cultural foods like delicious fried plantain (which our Caribbean guests raved was the best they'd ever had!) as well as using our own family recipe for mac and cheese. They even created custom cocktails for us with cultural twists. The crème brulee station was perfect. The end result was a truly memorable and personalized menu that all of our guests loved. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience - highly recommend The Caterist for any couples looking for a fabulous, customizable option for their wedding day! They went the extra mile helping set everything up for dinner! Shoutout to Erin for helping perfectly execute our micro wedding and larger wedding 2 years later!”
