Everyone Deserves a Cheat Day.
For Chef Casey J., food has never been simply about feeding people. It’s about bringing people together, creating memories, and making people feel good.
With more than 30 years of culinary experience, Chef Casey has cooked everything from backyard favorites to elegant meals. But through all those years, he discovered something simple:
Some of the best food happens when you stop counting calories and start enjoying the moment.
That idea became Cheat Day BBQ & Catering.
How Cheat Day Was Born
Cheat Day started with a simple thought:
Everybody deserves a day when the diet can wait.
A day when you can enjoy smoky ribs straight from the grill.
A pile of tender, seasoned rib tips.
Juicy turkey tips.
A massive smoked turkey leg.
Salmon bites covered in a signature sauce.
Homemade sides.
A slice of something sweet.
No tiny portions. No pretending you’re full. No apologies.
Just good food, bold flavor and generous portions.
That’s the heart of Cheat Day.
Chef Casey wanted to create a food experience that could feel just as comfortable at a neighborhood cookout as it does at an upscale catered event.
The result is a brand built around one promise:
Big Flavor. Generous Portions. An Experience Worth Cheating For.
More Than BBQ
While BBQ is at the heart of Cheat Day, Chef Casey’s culinary experience reaches far beyond the grill.
Cheat Day BBQ & Catering was created with the versatility to serve everything from backyard celebrations and family gatherings to corporate events, weddings and elegant catered dinners.
Whether we’re firing up the grill or preparing a completely customized menu, the philosophy remains the same:
Serve food people remember.
The Flavor Behind Cheat Day
Great BBQ begins long before the meat hits the grill.
Chef Casey developed his own seasonings, sauces and flavor combinations to give Cheat Day a taste of its own.
From Bishop’s Blend to our signature BBQ sauces and Creole Gold, these flavors are part of what turns ordinary food into a Cheat Day experience.
And while trends come and go, Chef Casey still believes in something old-fashioned:
Fire. Smoke. Seasoning. Patience.
That’s why our BBQ is prepared over wood and charcoal, building the kind of backyard flavor you can smell before the plate ever reaches the table.
From One Grill to a Bigger Vision
Cheat Day isn’t being built to be just another BBQ business.
The vision is bigger.
What started with a love for cooking is growing into a brand built around BBQ, catering, signature sauces and seasonings, mobile food service, and unforgettable food experiences.
And no matter how large Cheat Day becomes, Chef Casey wants it to retain the feeling that started it all:
Friends and family around the table.
Smoke coming from the grill.
Plates piled high.
People laughing.
And somebody saying: “I wasn’t supposed to eat all this today…”
That’s when we know we’ve done our job.
Because at Cheat Day BBQ & Catering, we believe:
EVERYONE DESERVES A CHEAT DAY.
And don’t worry…
We Won’t Tell Your Diet.™
