What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
Your in-home chef will provide an effortless event led by an expert culinarian who arrives with the ingredients and specialty tools needed to complete your meal.

Then, your chef serves your party one course at a time and cleans your space when finished.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
When you hire a chef for dinner, there are a range of popular cuisines available including a mix of classic dishes, contemporary favorites and seasonal specialties that make the most of fresh regional ingredients. American dishes akin to the menus at Ticonderoga Club and surf and turf similar to dishes served at Dantanna’s are perennial favorites. You’ll also find tributes to fine Southern dining and down home comfort menus among the listings. For a true fine dining experience, there are also many luxury menus to explore with Michelin-star-styled French menus and the like.
