Bachelorette Dinner Party

Ken was great! He was punctual and professional. He brought Emily with him as well, she was so awesome and resourceful! We were in an Airbnb and they handled everything. Food & presentation were great! He also was so great with menu customization and accommodating for allergies and preferences. Would 100% book again. Thank you Ken & Emily!

Chef Ken!

This experience was all new to me but I wouldn’t hesitate a moment to sign up again! Chef Ken was amazingly helpful with the whole process start to finish, and exceptionally accommodating when it came to some dietary restrictions we had in our group. His food was the best food I had all weekend, the flavors he was able to get into his dishes were amazing!

About

Chef Ken

Growing up I always kidded “The best thing my mother made for dinner was reservations”
Watching my grandmother and Aunts cook, I realized there was more to food than opening a can. Watching people eat and enjoying food as part of a gathering, made everyone around, family.

That led me to wanting to learn more.
I attended and graduated from Johnson $ Wales Culinary arts College in Providence RI

I have traveled the USA and abroad to discover what makes the food world tick. Having owned my own restaurants, I’ve also worked in New York City, Florida, Nantucket, Aspen and California. Seeking and using locally sourced, sustainable ingredients to provide the cleanest freshest flavors available.

For the last 15 years I have been a personal chef. Giving me a chance to personalize my experience in a much more intimate setting. Just like family.
My passion for cooking and making people happy through food is a life goal.
I look forward to cooking for you.

How to Hire a Private Chef for Your Event

Pick a place, date, and time.
Select your chef and menu. (Each chef offers different menus which are fully a la carte. Simply choose the dishes you want for your occasion.)
Add details like the number of guests and any special instructions.
Pay for your reservation. Make any changes or even cancel up to a week before your event for a refund.

After you’ve made a reservation, the private chef you’ve hired will reach out within 48 hours to confirm the details and coordinate their arrival.
If you’ve added any special dietary restrictions or event instructions, they’ll work with you to implement those.

Your chef will arrive with everything they need, including ingredients, cooking equipment, and cleaning supplies. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the day with your guests.
The cleanup is included too! Hire a private chef with us and know that we’ll likely leave your kitchen cleaner than when you gave it to us.

Our Top FAQs

1. Can I customize the menu?

Absolutely! All our menus are fully a la carte. Once you’ve decided on a chef, you’ll see a list of all the dishes they offer and you can choose the ones you’d like for your event.

2. How is your service priced?

You pay a fixed price per guest based on your menu, plus a small, all-inclusive booking fee to our platform. You’ll be able to see exactly what you’re paying when you make a booking. No hidden costs, ever.

3. How many guests can I invite?

As many as you like! Although for events with over 30 people, we ask that you reach out to us to make an event inquiry.

4. My group has multiple dietary restrictions

That’s absolutely fine! When finalizing your menu, please mention these under ‘Special Instructions.’ For instance, you can specify that you’d like to accommodate one vegan guest and one gluten-free guest for your at-home catering and your private chef will prepare suitable dish variants for those guests.

5. Can I make changes to the menu or guest list?

Yes! You can make any changes to your booking. You can even cancel it up to a week before your event, and you’ll receive a refund.

6. Is my event insured?

Yes, it is. Our service includes full insurance for your private chef in case of any mishaps.

7. How are the Chefs chosen?

Each chef is fully vetted. We require at minimum one year of sous chef experience. Your chef has gone through an FCRA compliant background check and multiple interviews before joining our platform.

8. What is FFKs cancellation and refund policy?

We take pre-payment to secure your chef and simplify our service. No fumbling with payments after your event or dealing with multiple payments in different stages of the process. Much like our service, our return policy is simple and meant to protect you, our hosts and our amazing Chefs.

One week or more before your event we guarantee your refund.
During the week of your event we offer a 50% refund.
We will not be able to refund within 48 hours of your event. At this point your chef has not been available for other parties and has already planned for your event. *Please note all refunds are less processing and booking fees
