Chef Casey Doody, THE Chicago focaccia Queen formerly coined as the “Gottcha Focacciaaa” gal; Chef Casey made her splash in the pastry industry working in elite country clubs, hotels, a NYC Michelin restaurant, big restaurant groups in Chicago including Gibson’s, and most recently was the corporate director of pastry of the Boka Restaurant Group. She’s not much of a golfer, but has been one of the Masters Pastry chefs for 3 tournaments. She is known for her sky high key lime pie and Chicago Tribune’s food critics review of the best tiramisu in the city. Casey left the four walls of a restaurant in January 2025 to create her own niche pastry consulting company, pastryCASE, pastry consulting by Casey Doody. Because what’s better than a pastryCASE full of variety?!!
