About this Experience

What you'll do:

You'll turn your home into a private dining room with a classically trained chef running the kitchen, every course made from scratch, and nothing for you to do but sit down and enjoy it.

  • Choose your menu — Pick from four themed menus before your event, with full flexibility to customize for dietary needs, including celiac, gluten-free, and allergy restrictions.

  • Welcome Chef Matt — He arrives with his own equipment, handles all the setup, and takes over your kitchen so the evening runs without a hitch.

  • Taste each course as it's served — Work through a full spread: appetizer, salad, entrée, two sides, a signature sauce, and dessert, all prepared fresh on-site.

  • Add on what you want — Expand the menu with extra courses for $10 per person, per item, so the meal fits exactly what your group is in the mood for.

  • Spend the whole night at the table — With Chef Matt on-site for up to eight hours, there's no rushing the evening moves at your pace.

Your guests get a restaurant-quality dinner without leaving the house. You get to actually be present at your own party.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Four themed menus — Gives your group real choices, not a take-it-or-leave-it set menu.

  • Full grocery sourcing included — Chef Matt handles all shopping and ingredient sourcing, so your prep list is zero.

  • Celiac-safe and allergy-aware cooking — Chef Matt lives with Celiac Disease and cooks every dietary restriction with the same care as the main menu, not as an afterthought.

  • Transparent, upfront pricing — $100 per person covers the full service package; grocery costs are quoted separately, so there are no surprises.

  • On-site for the full event — Up to eight hours means Chef Matt is there from first course through dessert, not just a drop-off situation.
