It is a restaurant evening without the restaurant: a professional chef cooks a menu written for your table, in your kitchen, and serves it course by course while you stay where you are.
The difference from catering is that nothing arrives pre-cooked. The chef shops that day, cooks on site, plates each course and clears it, then leaves the kitchen clean. In Tucson these dinners often happen at a rental or a house taken for the season rather than at home, and a lot of them end up outside.
