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.

What's included in the price?

Everything. Shopping, prep, cooking, plating, service, and cleanup. One number. No surprises. 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, Colorado?

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 quality exactly where it needs to be.
