Congenial and anxious to please,
Norman Darling - Jun 20 2022
Chef Alvin was absolutely incredible and so accommodating. He served our party of 8 which included a vegetarian and a pregnant guest with such care. He provided many dish options in order to make our celebration extra special. We loved hearing the stories of how the dishes have evolved over the years and his culinary background. As if the delicious food wasn’t good enough, the cleanup and care of our home kitchen was spectacular. I swear he left it cleaner than when he arrived! 10/10 experience

We Loved chef Ramses! He was so fun and professional. Very very personal and you could tell he loves what he does. He did so many fun things that made the night very interactive. He made my birthday so memorable and I will definitely book with him again!

Does the Private Chef cook at my house?
A Private Chef always prepares the menu at the client's home, as it is an inherent part of the experience. However, depending on the complexity of the menu, the chef may prepare a mise en place before going to the client's home, as some dishes take several hours to prepare and it would be impossible to execute all the steps at the client's home.
Can I cook along with the Private Chef?
Absolutely! Usually, there are always several food lovers among the diners who take the opportunity to share some time with the chef, learn some tricks in the kitchen and the step-by-step of each of the dishes on the menu. For those diners who really want to get hands on, they can of course join the chef and cook!
Are the ingredients for a Private Chef service fresh?
Every Private Chef gives the utmost importance to the freshness of the ingredients used in their menus. The main difference between a restaurant and a private chef is in the personalized treatment of each diner. The chef personalizes the menu, and based on that menu, makes the necessary purchases to develop the menu chosen by the customers. Therefore, the freshness of the ingredients is one of the key elements of a Private Chef service.
Are drinks included in a Private Chef service?
Drinks are not included by default. However, you can reach an agreement with the chef in order to add drinks as an "extra" to the menu proposal.

Each guest can freely decide the tip he/she wishes to give to the chef, as it is up to their discretion. On average, based on the tips given by 9704 guests in Grand Rapids, guests usually tip 14,72% of the total amount to their Private Chef.
