FAQs
See all Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private chef in Chicago cost?
Hiring a private chef in Chicago will cost $59 and up per guest for a full-service, multi-course meal. Variations based on the menu, chef, and number of people on your guest list will alter the cost, with more elaborate affairs and dedicated holiday feasts running upwards of $249 per guest and above. You’ll also find mini-events at reduced prices, gatherings like happy hours and cocktail parties with simpler menus, the perfect option for girl or guy nights where the atmosphere is more casual. Since the catalog receives new listings regularly, checking frequently will give you the best idea of which events suit your budget. Don’t forget to include gratuity when determining your overall cost!
What is included when you book a private chef in Chicago?
Booking a private chef in Chicago is like hiring an in-home caterer for the afternoon or evening. You’ll receive a full-service onsite dining experience, with all ingredients and tools required to create the meal provided by your expert chef. They’ll present their exquisite fare to you and your guests and share details about the dishes in each course. Once the meal concludes, they’ll clean up and put your kitchen back in tip-top shape, giving you more time to spend with your fellow foodies for the rest of your party. The only thing not included when you hire a chef for dinner in Chicago are the beverages; providing alcoholic, zero-proof and carbonated soft drinks is the host’s contribution to the celebration.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chefs in Chicago?
For Chicago diners, the most popular private chef cuisines run the gamut from fine Italian fare to fun and fanciful comfort food. Bring a sushi master to your kitchen to create classic rolls for your friends and family or hire a hibachi pro to add a little heat to the evening. Go with global favorites from Italy, France, China and Mexico or choose a themed affair that maximizes the theatrical possibilities for the moments you have in mind. And if you follow a vegan, vegetarian or otherwise specialized eating regimen, you’ll find menus that bring the bounty of your particular plan to the party.
How do I hire a private chef in Chicago?
It couldn’t be simpler to hire a private chef in Chicago! Take a glance at the listings shown for the city and scroll through the online catalog of themes and menus to find one that sounds like your kind of party. Then, reach out to the chef to learn more about how to bring their gourmet greatness into your home. If you don’t find the menu you’re looking for at first, check back regularly to see all the wonderful new listings being added throughout the week. And if you need a more customized experience for the occasion you have in mind, feel free to reach out to concierge services to discuss how to bring your ideas to the table.
How much should I tip my private chef?
Tipping your private chef will depend on the overall cost of your private chef encounter. The general restaurant-style scale of a 15% to 20% gratuity applies as well to tipping your in-home chef in Chicago, which makes it easy to calculate the tip amount from the total cost of your event. Should you feel your chef went beyond the call of duty to present a truly special affair, you can certainly increase the amount by percentage or flat amount to express your gratitude. Be sure to include the tip as part of your overall budget when figuring out how much it costs to hire gourmet chefs to cook at your home in Miami.
