Yes. TheKitchenTable now takes private chef requests at Lake of the Ozarks: share your dates, group size and budget, and we match you with a professional chef who cooks, serves and cleans up at your lake house.
Lake of the Ozarks has more shoreline than most coastlines, and its lake houses are built for boating weekends with big groups.
A private chef brings dinner to the house, so nobody has to leave the dock to cook.
Lake of the Ozarks groups are friends and families on boating weekends.
Groups spend the day on the water and want dinner ready.
Lake houses sleep a crowd. A chef feeds everyone at once.
Restaurants can be far by car. Dinner at the house is easier.
Birthdays, bachelorettes and reunions are popular here.
Group size: Anything from a dinner for two to a full house. Above about twelve guests, family-style works best and costs less per head.
Give us the property address when you send your request — chefs confirm they can reach it before they quote.
Chef availability tightens on the same weeks the rentals do.
Peak lake season.
The busiest week of the summer.
Quieter weekends.
We are now taking requests in Lake of the Ozarks. Send yours with your dates, group size and budget, and we match you personally with a professional private chef who can cook at your rental. You only pay once you have picked a menu you like, so there is no risk in asking.
Yes. Mention it in your notes and the chef plans service outdoors.
Yes. Choose the occasion on the form and chefs build a menu for the group.
You set the budget on the request form, per person or for the whole group, and chefs send menus built to fit it. Price depends on group size, the number of courses and the style of service, and family-style dinners cost less per head than plated ones. Taxes and fees are shown before you pay.
Yes. Shopping, prep, cooking, serving and full kitchen cleanup are all included, so the kitchen is left as the chef found it. That matters in a rental where you are on the hook for a cleaning deposit.
