Chef John

I’m an NYC-based private chef with 25 years in restaurant kitchens and 19 years cooking directly for private clients. My focus is straightforward: I take high-end ingredients—like prime seafood, Wagyu beef, and fresh produce—and build clean, precise flavors across multi-course tasting menus. Whether I’m hosting an intimate dinner party, setting up custom weekly prep, or leading a hands-on cooking masterclass, I deliver tailored, high-level service designed around your preferences and dietary needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 246.40 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Chef's special, Mediterranean, Seafood/Fish, Local and Japanese. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in United States?

To book me in United States, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.
