A sample menu

A custom steakhouse dinner we recently served for seven guests:

  • Appetizer: Tableside hand-crafted beef tartare. Hand-chopped prime tenderloin, shallot, caper, Dijon, chive and Calabrian chilies, finished with a quail egg yolk and extra-virgin olive oil. Served with crostini.
  • Dual entrée: Smoked tomahawk steaks and butter-poached lobster tail with tarragon-chive butter. Truffle Yukon mashed potatoes and roasted rainbow carrots with thyme brown butter.
  • Dessert: Espresso toffee butter cake with mocha anglaise and chocolate-covered toffee crumble.

Every private chef menu is built from scratch around your tastes. Italian, Southern, coastal seafood or entirely plant-based, we’ll create it.

How it works

  1. Consult: we talk through the occasion, your guests, your tastes and any dietary needs.
  2. Custom menu: Chef Brandon designs your menu and sends a proposal.
  3. Dinner: we arrive with everything, cook in your kitchen, and serve each course.
  4. Cleanup: you keep the leftovers and the memories, and we take care of the dishes.

Pricing

Menus are priced per guest based on what you choose, and service staff are billed separately by the hour. Tell us your guest count and the kind of evening you’re picturing, and we’ll put together a proposal.

Where we cook

Based in Castle Rock, and we’ll travel pretty much anywhere for a private chef dinner: Douglas County, the Denver metro, Monument, the mountains. Tell us where you are.
