Private chef in New Orleans — common questions

Do you have private chefs in New Orleans yet?

We are now taking requests in New Orleans. 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.

Can a chef cook Creole and Cajun dishes?

Yes. Ask for it on the request and chefs build the menu around it.

Can we book a chef during Mardi Gras?

Yes, but request early and mention street closures near your rental so the chef can plan.

How much does a private chef cost in New Orleans?

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.

Does the chef clean up afterwards?

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.
