The Best Farm-to-Table Wedding Catering in East Dubuque, IL

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.

My husband and I started 9 years ago after we got married! We love to cook and enjoy feeding people even more. My husband is a classically trained chef who worked in some of the best restaurants around the world, but now we’re based in Chicago making some of the best unpretentious food around.
