About this Experience

What you'll do: Open your door and let Chef Deljuan Murphy — a Food Network Chopped contestant — turn your kitchen into the center of the night. He cooks Lowcountry and Southern staples to order, right in your space, so your group eats a full multi-course meal without anyone touching a stove.

  • Pick your menu – Choose from three curated menu options spanning seafood, barbecue, and fried chicken, then tell Chef Deljuan your preference at checkout.

  • Customize your cuisine – Work directly with Chef Deljuan to shape the meal around your group's tastes, allergies, and must-haves.

  • Sit back and eat – Chef Deljuan handles the shopping, prep, cooking, and cleanup, so your group's only job is showing up hungry.

  • Share the meal together – Gather around the table at your home or vacation rental for a sit-down dinner that keeps everyone in one room.

  • Toast the occasion – Whether it's a birthday, bachelorette weekend, or just a group trip to Charleston, the meal becomes the centerpiece of the night.

By the end, you've had a private chef dinner that feels like a restaurant tasting menu without leaving your living room.

Why we love it for your group dinner:

  • Chopped credibility – Chef Deljuan has been featured in food periodicals nationwide and cooked on national TV, so you know the skill is real.

  • Customizable menu – Three built-in menu directions mean there's a fit for seafood lovers, barbecue fans, and fried chicken purists alike.

  • Stress-free hosting – No cooking, no dishes, no last-minute grocery runs — just you and your group at the table.

  • Budget-friendly for the experience – You get a private, multi-course meal for a fraction of what a comparable restaurant tasting menu would cost per person.

  • Built for intimate groups – A 6-person minimum keeps the setting cozy rather than banquet-style.
