Great food at an event does more than fill plates, it starts conversations.

It’s the thing that brings old friends back together, gets family members lingering a little longer, and even has you chatting with that one coworker you’ve never spoken to before.

Don’t skimp on the food. The meal is often what people remember most.

Proudly serving Chicago & the surrounding suburbs.

“We have guests that are vegan!”

No problem at all. 🌱

Check out this smoked Lion’s Mane mushroom we created for our vegan clients, packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and every bit as satisfying as the rest of the menu.

At Cody’s Belly Bites, we customize every event to fit your guests’ needs. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, or something in between, just ask.

Voted Best Caterer in Kane County for 2026… and honestly, I’m still trying to process it. 🥹🏆

What makes this even more special is that I never campaigned for votes or asked anyone to push this for us. To know that people thought of Cody’s Belly Bites on their own means more than I can put into words.

From delivering hot meals during the pandemic, to rebuilding after setbacks, to now being recognized like this… wow. What a journey.

Thank you to every client who trusted us with your weddings, birthdays, corporate events, family dinners, and celebrations. Thank you for every referral, every tag, every review, every booking, and every person who pulled up a chair at our table.

This award belongs to all of you just as much as it does to us. Kane County, thank you for embracing Cody’s Belly Bites the way you have. We’re beyond grateful and even more motivated to keep raising the bar.

With love,
Chef Cody & the Cody’s Belly Bites Team 🤍

POV: Your client books Crucial Conflict to perform at her birthday party , and your company is doing the catering.

Cody’s Belly Bites understood the assignment. Mission accomplished.

A quick word on Donna: truly one of the sweetest souls and such a beautiful person to work with. No wonder she had over 100 people show up to celebrate her. How many of y’all can get that many people to pull up for you? I’ll wait…

She doesn’t flex on the ’gram, but trust , the credentials are legit. If you’re looking to buy or sell your home, design the interior of your home, or elevate your storefront, Donna is the one to message.

Donna baby, you the birthday. 🥂

Soft as steeped leaves in morning light,
Earl Grey lingers, warm, refined, just right.
Black tea whispers through each tender crumb,
While bergamot sings where flavors become one.

Layered in balance, no note stands alone,
Each essence deepened where love has grown.
Just like two hearts in perfect embrace,
Blended in time, in rhythm, in grace.

A union of flavor, delicate yet true,
A cake made whole, much like the two.

Somewhere in the room,
a mother watches the little girl she once carried on her hip
walk toward a brand new chapter,
still seeing every version of her at once -
the child, the teenager, and now the bride.

Another successful wedding tasting , except
make it brunch because that’s exactly what this couple plans on having on their big day.

One of the best parts of the planning process is getting to see, taste, and tweak your menu before it’s officially finalized.

Private tastings help couples create a dining experience that truly feels like them on their wedding day.

Hosted Meal Etiquette Tips 🍽️

If you’re invited to dine, let the host lead the experience.

• Buffet etiquette matters too , portions are meant to be balanced so everyone can enjoy the meal. Take what comfortably fits on the serving spoon or one serving item at a time, rather than several at once. You can always come back for seconds once all guests have been served.

• When food is being catered buffet-style, it’s proper etiquette to wait until setup is fully complete and the host announces it’s time to eat before making your plate.

• Stopping the catering team/person during setup for “just for a quick bite” may seem harmless, but it disrupts the flow, timing, and presentation of service while staff are actively arranging, replenishing, labeling, and preparing the buffet for guests.

Good manners are part of good dining.
