"I always say that I don't believe I'm a chef. I try to be a storyteller." - Jose Andres

We believe that in-home dining with a private chef should be experiential, moving and memorable, enjoyed at your leisure with time taken to savor each and every dish. As part of the experience, I present each course, along with stories about ingredients, local farmers and purveyors, and sometimes even a snippet of culinary history.

The dinner served to you and your guests is more than a meal— it is an execution of the culinary arts, from preparation to plating. We invite you to watch as tortillas are made by hand right in front of your guests as we prepare our signature, tableside “Molcajete Caesar Salad”, or as I take a torch to your steak!

WINE PAIRINGS & SIGNATURE COCKTAILS

Our professional waist staff have fining dining backgrounds with Michelin-starred establishments. We have a sommelier available to recommend pairings and/or present and serve the wines. We offer the option to pair wines with each course or choose to punctuate dinner with small, signature cocktails.

#2 IN FOOD TRENDS 2023: DINING OUT > DINNER PARTIES

“For me, dinner parties bring back a sense of the salon nostalgia: everyone chatting over a delectable spread… Plus, my favorite music is always playing (goodbye weird hipster Muzak!). The dinner party is also a nice low-pressure way to gather in 2023. Maybe you have sober friends, or a friend who really can’t afford a dinner out right now—at home, everyone’s invited to the table in whatever way they can show up. Bring … an ice breaker, or bring a lovely aperitif; there’s something for everyone.” —Emily Ziemski, Food Editor FOOD 52

BESPOKE MENUS: EVERY PLATE TELLS A STORY

Each meal, be it for a table of 4 or 14, is a story of its own. I co-write these stories through bespoke menus, creating singular moments with plot lines that you can literally “sink your teeth into”, that come to life in memories that stay with you. We can work closely to develop a dinner with some of your favorite dishes, or you can just ask me to create a seasonal menu and I am happy to take it from there.

Be it a personal story to celebrate a milestone birthday or an executive team dinner to celebrate your brand, I love telling your story through my food and menus. All my menus are custom designed incorporating the best of what’s available from the farmers and producers in the Bay Area.
