Hire a private chef in Jacksonville
You want a chef at your house in Jacksonville, FL, and you would rather spend the evening with your guests than in the kitchen. That is where we start: you tell us the date, the number of guests and what everyone eats, and we turn it into a brief your chef works from, so nothing has to be explained twice.
The service is built around your decisions: your taste, your budget, your dietary needs. What changes is that you are not left to coordinate it on your own.
Our network in Jacksonville has 104 private chefs, and we have served over 45,152 guests here since October 2017: birthdays, family reunions, company dinners. We do not hand you the whole list. We read what you asked for and put forward chefs who fit that occasion, with the reason each one is a match.
You choose. From there, conditions, menu and changes stay in one place, we handle the payment, and we coordinate with the chef so the day itself needs nothing from you.
You will see each chef's profile, gallery and reviews next to the menus they propose, and you can adjust any of it with them before anything is closed. We keep the agreed version in writing so what you approved is what arrives on the day.

You can adjust the menus with the chef before deciding. Once you choose, we handle the payment, the agreed conditions stay in writing, and we coordinate the details with your chef ahead of the day.
Yes — seafood is the single thing Jacksonville guests ask for most, mentioned in one request in seven, ahead of every other preference.
Say it in the request and the chefs build the menu around what is good that week rather than a fixed card: shrimp, grouper, snapper, oysters. Birthdays are behind a third of the bookings here and children come up in one request in ten, so a menu that works for a mixed family table is a normal ask.

Personalized service at surprising prices
Dinner at home in Jacksonville does not have to mean guessing what it will end up costing. Before you book, you get the menu, what is included, the timings and the total price in writing, so there is nothing to settle at the door.
Our chefs have cooked in Florida's kitchens and build menus around local flavours, from Southern comfort food to fresh seafood, and around whatever your table cannot eat. Your chef shops for the ingredients, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course and leaves it spotless.
If something changes between the booking and the evening, the change goes through us and reaches the chef, not the other way round.
Jacksonville's top chefs
There are 104 chefs in our Jacksonville network, which matters less than which of them suits your evening. We look at the occasion, the guest count, the kitchen you have and the restrictions at your table, and we put forward chefs who fit, with the reason behind each one.
Many of them work in Southern cooking and fresh seafood, and they cover a backyard cookout, a seafood boil or a seated dinner for twelve. Join the 45,152 guests we have served in Jacksonville.
Having a good profile helps you find a chef. It does not run the service: that part stays with us, from the first brief to the evening itself.
Be the host at your own dinner party
Hosting a dinner party in Jacksonville usually means you spend it in the kitchen while your guests are in the other room. A private chef at your house turns that around: be the host, enjoy it like a guest.
We agree the courses, the serving times and the flow of the evening beforehand, and we confirm the details with the chef before the day, so you are not chasing anyone the afternoon of your own dinner. Anniversaries, birthdays, a table of twelve for a company dinner: the shape of the service changes, the way it is run does not.
And if you want to be in the kitchen for part of it, plenty of our guests do exactly that.
