Meet the Founder/CEO
Welcome! My name is Cortney Tillman, Founder and CEO of Best Eats Catering Company.
I am a certified Executive Chef with over 20 years of culinary experience and ServSafe certification, bringing both expertise and passion to every event I serve. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Calvin University and an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts from Grand Rapids Community College.
Raised in a Southern-based household, cooking was always the heart of our home — the moment everyone looked forward to. This upbringing shaped my deep love for preparing food batch-style, from scratch, and with intention. I take pride in using Michigan-based and fresh, locally sourced products whenever possible, ensuring quality, flavor, and authenticity in every dish.
No matter the cuisine you desire, my commitment is to deliver an unforgettable, elevated, and truly authentic culinary experience.
