 Your turn to cook? Impress everyone with a personal chef. We help you decide on a menu, we bring the food and cook on  site. Then, we clean up, making it a relaxing experience for everyone. Enjoy yourself on the deck with your favorite drink instead of sweating over a hot stove. You're on vacation! This is fast becoming an alternative to the long waiting lines at restaurants that can't take reservations to accommodate large crowds. Stay home and enjoy your fabulous beach cottage with the views. The cost is $65 per hour for the chef, and depending on number of adults/children accommodated, a $35 per hour cost for a server/helper, if needed, plus gratuities (sample menus are shown at right). We do not mark the food up, it is charged at cost.
The deposit is $100 for 0 - 8 people or $200 for 9 - 16 people per night/day, and $300-up for larger crowds, based on the number of people accommodated. Try to make your reservation early, as our chefs are booked pretty fast.
So, have one meal, or a whole week's worth - no job too large!
Our executive chef, Franko Montesi, is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York. As a prior chef and restaurant owner for 25 years, cooking has always been his passion. And, like everyone else, he dreamed of moving to the Outer Banks. Needless to say, being a personal chef here at the beach is not like a job at all - it's actually fun. Whether it's Franko himself or one of his other qualified chef's, you and your family will enjoy this treat!
We also provide outstanding catering for weddings, parties and corporate events. Cancellation policy - 30 days advance notice, or deposit is forfeited. | MENU'S FOR CHEF SERVICES
