CIA-Trained Chefs.
Every Single One.
The most common question before someone books for the first time: "Who exactly is showing up to my home?" Here's exactly who — trained, vetted, background-checked, and insured.

Steve Ingber — The Standard Everything Is Measured Against
Steve Ingber
Executive Chef & Owner · CIA-Trained
Steve Ingber is the Executive Chef and Owner of MileHighCook. Before he was a chef, he spent 15+ years as a CMO and brand partnerships executive — Anheuser-Busch, FanDuel, Fubo TV, Gymshark. He built premium experiences for exactly the kind of clients MileHighCook now serves.
That background is built into every aspect of the brand — how we communicate, how we price, how we show up on event day. CIA training from the Culinary Institute of America gave him the technical foundation. A career in luxury brand management gave him the context to build something different in private dining.
Steve oversees every MileHighCook engagement. He sets the standard, trains the team to it, and maintains it across all 35+ markets. When you book MileHighCook anywhere — Vail, Scottsdale, Park City, Jackson Hole — you're booking his standard.

A Note on Our Model
Not a Marketplace. A Brand.
When you book through TakeAChef, Thumbtack, or any other platform, you're choosing from a list of individuals you've never met. Quality varies. Consistency is not guaranteed.
MileHighCook is not a marketplace. Every chef who works under our name has been vetted, trained to our standard, and briefed on your event specifically. When you book MileHighCook in Aspen, you get the same caliber of experience as a MileHighCook dinner in Scottsdale or Jackson Hole. Every time.
This is what 500+ events and a 4.8-star rating is built on.
