The chef in your kitchen
Not a tray dropped on the counter. Chef José finishes and plates the meal in front of your guests. Like watching the show from the best seat.
In-home catering
A restaurant night in your own home.
Engagement parties, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, dinner for the people who matter. Chef José in your kitchen, cooking in front of your guests, and a team that cleans up before they leave. That's the touch.
Why this is the one we're proudest of
Where we make the difference.
You get to be a guest
The team sets up, serves, pours, clears, and cleans. You sit down with your people.
Everything leaves with us
Pans, platters, trash, the lot. Your kitchen is cleaner than we found it.
Occasions
Dinner for six. A party for sixty.
Recently: an engagement party on Merritt Island, the weekend before the wedding. Here's where it works.
- Engagement parties and rehearsal dinners
- Anniversaries and milestone birthdays
- Holiday dinners you don't want to cook
- Dinner parties with a menu built for your guests
- Backyard celebrations with the chef at the grill
- Themed dinners, any theme
"We want to be in people's homes. That's where we make the difference."Chef José Manuel Valines
Questions
Things people ask before they call.
What does the chef actually do in my home?
Chef José arrives with the food prepped, finishes and plates it in your kitchen in front of your guests, and the team serves. You host; he cooks.
What do you need from my kitchen?
A standard home kitchen is fine. He works with what you have and brings the rest. Tell us about the space and we'll plan around it.
Who cleans up?
We do. The team cleans the kitchen, packs everything, and takes it with them. Your kitchen looks like we were never there.
How many guests does this work for?
Dinner for six to a backyard party for sixty. The format changes with the headcount; the chef doesn't.
Will he show us anything?
Usually. Cook in someone's kitchen long enough and you start teaching. Expect to pick up a trick or two with your own equipment.
