You set the budget. A vetted Colorado chef designs the menu, does the shopping, cooks in your kitchen, serves your table and leaves it spotless.
From $50 per person — no hidden fees.
Family-style private chef service in Colorado starts at $50 per person and includes menu planning, all grocery shopping, cooking in your kitchen, serving, and full cleanup. Large buffet-style groups can come down toward $15 per person; plated multi-course menus cost more.
TheKitchenTable is a marketplace rather than a catering company. You describe the evening — date, place, headcount, occasion, budget, anything anyone cannot eat — and chefs who are free on your dates come back with menus built to that brief. You compare the proposals and choose. Nothing is a fixed package, which is why the same platform can handle a $15-a-head buffet for thirty and a plated tasting menu for eight.
Most of what we do is groups. The average booking is around 9 guests and our chefs have cooked for parties up to 50. And 43% of every request we receive comes from an Airbnb or vacation rental — which is why so much of this site is written for people staying somewhere that is not their own kitchen.
Rental towns are where a private chef makes the most difference: big groups, tired legs, kitchens nobody wants to clean, and restaurants that cannot seat fourteen at short notice.
A chef comes to your chalet or condo, cooks dinner for the whole group, and cleans up while you sit by the fire.

Shopping, cooking, serving, cleanup. You are a guest at your own dinner.
Family-style service starts at $50 per person. Larger groups bring the per-head cost down — big buffet-style bookings can land near $15 per person — and plated multi-course menus cost more. You set your budget when you send the request, and chefs propose menus that fit it rather than quoting from a fixed price list.
Our chefs cover the Denver metro and the Front Range, and travel to the mountain towns — Vail, Beaver Creek, Aspen, Snowmass, Breckenridge and the rest of Summit County, Steamboat Springs and Telluride. Colorado chefs on our platform serve the whole state, so the question is availability on your dates rather than whether we reach you.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do — 43% of every chef request we receive comes from an Airbnb or vacation rental. Chefs cook in rentals, condos, chalets and ski houses across Colorado. Give us the property address when you book so the chef can plan travel and check the kitchen.
Both. The chef plans the menu with you, does all the grocery shopping, cooks in your kitchen, serves your table and cleans the kitchen before leaving. In a rental that last part matters — it is usually the difference between getting your cleaning deposit back and not.
The average booking is around 9 guests, and our chefs have served parties as large as 50. Groups above about twelve usually work best family-style or buffet-style, which also lowers the cost per person compared with plated service.
For the mountain towns over Christmas, New Year, Presidents' Day and March spring break, book several weeks ahead — chef availability tightens on the same weeks the rentals do. In Denver and the Front Range, a few days is often enough, and same-week bookings are frequently possible.
You tell us the date, location, group size, occasion and budget. Chefs who can cover those dates send you a proposed menu and price. You compare them, pick one, and pay through the platform. Most requests get their first chef response within a couple of hours.
Yes. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, nut allergies and religious requirements are all routine. List them when you send the request rather than on the night — it lets the chef design one menu that works for the whole table.
