What do I need to provide for a private chef dinner?

Just a working stove, oven, and counter space. Chef Rob brings all professional cookware, utensils, serving equipment, and fully prepped ingredients. You provide the home — we bring everything else.

How far in advance should I book a private chef?

We recommend 1–2 weeks in advance. For holiday weekends, anniversaries, and large groups, booking 3–4 weeks ahead ensures availability. Contact us — we'll always try to accommodate.

Can Chef Rob accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions?

Yes — vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and complex allergy combinations. Chef Rob handles cross-contamination control personally. No shortcuts, no generic substitutions.

Does the private chef clean up after the meal?

Full cleanup is included in every booking — pots, pans, counters, stovetop, and sink. Chef Rob packs all his equipment and leaves your kitchen as clean or cleaner than he found it.

Do you serve outside Atlanta?

Yes. Chef Rob serves all of Metro Atlanta (Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Marietta, Roswell, Duluth) plus vacation rentals in North Georgia including Blue Ridge, Ellijay, and Lake Lanier.
