So yummy and so fun!

I had the pleasure of hiring Chef Sarah for a Low Country Boil, and it was a fun and exceptional experience for our bachelorette crew! Chef Sarah was extremely generous in her serving sizes, but most importantly, she was down-to-earth. The chef’s attention to detail, flavor mastery, and warm demeanor made the evening truly memorable. We are all very grateful for the delicious meal and the delightful atmosphere created. Thank you for such a unique and awesome experience!

Sarah

Sarah was amazing. Her food was delicious and she was very kind and pleasant. She was so nice and talkative but not too talkative. I highly recommend her!

5 Star Breakfast

Chef Sarah was flawless from start to finish. She arrived right on time and got to work for our group. Within a short time she prepared a full breakfast spread that incredible. Everyone loved it and we were so happy. What a great experience. Can’t wait for the next time!

Amazing!

Sarah was awesome! The dinner she prepared was incredible and the Oreo peanut butter pie was literally the best desert I have ever eaten! She was very responsive when communicating ahead of time and very pleasant and professional. Would definitely recommend!

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
