Why Clients Keep Coming Back

500+ Events Later, Here's What's Different.

Over 500 private chef services across Denver and five states in three years. Intimate two-person birthday dinners. Corporate retreats for 150 people. Proposals, holiday gatherings, ski chalet dinners, and executive events. That kind of track record doesn't happen by accident. It comes from running a real operation.

Every chef on our roster is trained, background-checked, and food safety certified. We carry full liability and workers comp insurance. We run food board analysis on every event. When someone's coming into your home to cook, you deserve to know exactly who's walking through that door. We make sure of it.

We're not a solo operator posting on Facebook. We're not a marketplace matching you with whoever's available. We're a luxury private chef service built for Denver and the Rocky Mountain region, with a team of 20 to 25 chefs and service members who deliver the same standard every single time.

How It Works

From First Call to Final Bite

No forms, no automated quotes. A real conversation first, every time.

01

We Talk

Tell us about your event, your date, and what you're looking to bring to life. That call is where everything starts.

02

We Build Your Proposal

Custom, from scratch, built around what you told us. Not a template with your name dropped in.

03

We Get Into the Details

An intake questionnaire captures your dietary preferences, restrictions, and anything the call didn't cover.

04

We Lock It In

A custom contract built for your event. One number. All-inclusive. No surprises.

05

We Take It From Here

The right chef assigned. Everything procured. Every detail handled before we walk through your door.

06

We Arrive Early

Two and a half to three hours before your event. Setup, prep, dialed in before your first guest arrives.

07

You Enjoy Your Own Event

Cooking, plating, service, cleanup — all handled. You're a guest at your own table. That's the whole point.

Denver to the Rockies, We're Already There

A Chef Who Understands What You Actually Expect

Most Chefs Lead with the Food.

We Lead With You.

There's a reason our private chef services in Denver attract clients who've tried every other option. Stephen Ingber didn't come up through a restaurant kitchen. He spent 15+ years in brand partnerships and experiential marketing with Anheuser-Busch, FanDuel, Fubo TV, and Gymshark — building premium experiences for exactly the kind of clients we serve now.

He trained at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa. Has cooked his way through all 50 states and nearly 40 countries. That worldliness isn't a credential to hang on the wall. It shows up on the plate, every single time.

The philosophy is simple: listen first, cook second. Your preferences, your dietary needs, your vision for the event. No preset menus, no rigid chef's way, no ego walking through the door with the knives. You set the tone. We execute.

Common Questions, Answered Straight

Everything You Need to Know

Who exactly is showing up to my home?
Every chef on our roster is trained, background-checked, and food safety certified. We carry full liability and workers comp insurance and run food board analysis on every event. You know exactly who's walking through your door.
What's included in the price?
Everything. Shopping, prep, cooking, plating, service, and cleanup. One number. No surprises after you've already said yes. We suggest a 20% gratuity, but that's the only thing not baked in.
What does it cost to hire a private chef in Denver?
Private chef dinners start at $150 per person for a custom four-course meal, $1,200 minimum. Catering runs $75 per person for buffet, $100 for family style, $125 to $150 for plated. All-inclusive either way.
Do you travel to mountain towns and resort areas?
We're already there. Chefs stationed across Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Arizona. No travel fees. Ever.
Can you cook in a rental kitchen you've never seen?
We do it all the time. We come fully prepared. For bigger events we might ask for a quick photo of the kitchen ahead of time, but we show up ready.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Ideally a week. We can move faster for smaller dinners. We also have events booked two years out. Whatever your timeline, let's talk.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?
There's nothing we can't or won't accommodate. Kosher, halal, any allergen, any lifestyle diet. We love a good challenge.
How many people can you serve?
One person to 150 to 200 guests. We try to stay under 120 for most events to keep the food quality exactly where it needs to be. Solo birthday splurge or full corporate retreat, we've done both.
