Why Hire a Personal Chef in NYC?

Here’s the truth: New Yorkers are busy. Our personal chef NYC team takes the errands, chopping, and dishes off your hands. With the help of your chef BFF, you can enjoy food that feels as exciting as the city itself.

From weeknight sanity-savers to elevated dinner parties, our NYC private chefs adapt to your life and preferences. We can cater to any diet or palate with a customized weekly menu tailored to your needs. Plus, we’ll show up on your schedule, so we’re a fit for even the busiest lifestyle.

Or, better yet, keep us on speed dial for when you need other kinds of backup in the kitchen. We can help you stock the fridge before medical procedures, or make sure your elderly relatives have something healthy on the menu. We’ll even drop in to cook for your next dinner party, meeting, or gathering!

The bottom line? We’re pretty sure NYC personal chef services are about to change your life.

We’re stoked to fill your plate with fresh flavors inspired by your preferences and dietary needs…just not as stoked as you will be to dig in!

Need just dinners? Done.
Want lunches, snacks, and family meals too? Easy.
Love cooking but hate the prep? We’ll dice, marinate, and chop so you can take the credit.
