WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE PERSONAL CHEF EXPERIENCES in Kansas City

Molly H.

We want to book Chef Jeffrey again! We have never done an experience like this before and I’m so glad it was with him. His expertise, skill and care is unmatched—but most of all, his passion for cooking was apparent in every detail. This man poured his heart and soul into our experience, leaving our bellies and hearts full. We also had our two toddlers running around making things somewhat chaotic at our house, but he was not phased in the slightest. He was so patient and kind! Overall it was a delight to get to know him and witness the joy this man not only has for his craft, but sharing it with others. Bravo, Chef Jeffrey!

FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Kansas City

How much does a private chef in Kansas City cost?

The cost of a private chef for a dinner party in K.C. depends on your group size and which culinary experience speaks to you. Prices start at $59 per person and can exceed $100, with a discounted children's menu available. Each available experience lists its starting price per place, and when you enter your guest count, the cost will automatically adjust. Please note that local sales tax is included, and changes to the menu or special requests may alter the final price. If you need assistance booking an in-home chef for a dinner party or have any questions, our concierge team is eager to help.

What is included when you hire a chef for the night?

When you hire a chef for dinner, you’re in for an extraordinary culinary experience designed just for you. From handpicking the finest-quality meats to leaving your kitchen even cleaner than before they started, every detail is taken care of. Your chef will craft a custom menu that’s prepared on-site and served with artful precision. If your event requires special cookware, your in-home chef will take care of it. Whether you’re hosting a relaxed barbecue or celebrating like T. Swift and Travis Kelce with steaks and lobster tails, when you hire a chef for the night, the food will make your evening unforgettable.

What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?

Kansas City chefs are masters and will translate your cravings into a mouthwatering menu. Asian, Italian, and classic surf and turf are consistently popular options. However, the beauty of a private chef experience is the customization. Your in-home chef can blend your favorite cuisines into something truly unique. Whether your dinner party menu is inspired by the rustic Italian dishes served at Farina, the farm-to-table concept at The Westside Local, or a backyard screening of a favorite movie, your personal chef will work with you to create a truly unique event.

How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?

It’s as easy to hire a chef as it is to find something yummy to eat in River Market. Just browse through the curated culinary experience on this page and choose the one you love the most. Select your event date, serving time, and how many guests are attending before hitting "BOOK NOW." Once your event is confirmed, your personal chef will be in touch to discuss the menu. If you need help navigating the website or have any questions, please contact our friendly concierge team to rent a chef near you.

How much should I tip my private chef?

When you hire a private chef for a dinner party, leaving a tip is optional and completely at your discretion. However, if you’d like to show appreciation for your chef’s courteous service and unforgettable dishes, such as their burnt ends, baked beans, and luscious lemon pie, a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost is a generous way to express your gratitude.

Where do the experiences take place?

When you book an in-home chef for a dinner party, you skip the crowded restaurants and cookie-cutter menus. As long as your chef has access to a fully equipped kitchen, the location is up to you. Whether you're hosting a laid-back barbecue for the neighborhood in Volker or celebrating with friends on the patio in the Country Club District, hiring chefs to cook at your home means you get a gourmet, personalized menu that fits your style. With exceptional service, your private chef will handle every detail, making sure your event in the city or suburbs goes off without a hitch.
