“My daughter (the bride) explained how she wanted the buffet set up, Kayla understood exactly what she meant and made it happen with an "action station"! The buffet show was just as good as the food! I asked if the bartenders could drop a "drink topper" into the drinks, no problem. I asked if Hoffman House could provide desserts, no problem! I asked if we could change one of the wines at the last minute, no problem! Everything we requested was met with a positive attitude and I never felt like I was asking too much. The whole night was just fabulous!”

Cody’s Belly Bites

  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Monroe Center, 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.

“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.”

Girl’s Got Balls Food Truck 
  • Starts at $1,000

Girl's Got Balls was born in the middle of a pandemic (because if we can survive that, we can survive anything). In July 2020, Chef Shauna (Fetterman) Lehde started slinging risotto balls under a tent just to get the name out there. Fast forward a year and boom-the food truck rolled in. By 2022, Shauna's sister-in-law Carrie Jones joined the adventure, bringing double the sass and twice the hustle. Together, we took on Food Network's Great Food Truck Race-and while equipment failures knocked us out, our spirit never wavered. Since then, we've kept serving, teaching, and even mentoring students about what it really takes to run a food truck.
