A Private Chef.
Your Backyard.
Unforgettable Night.

Just an outdoor space with room for our grill. If you already have tables, chairs, plates and utensils, you pay the base rate. If you'd rather we bring all of that, it's $10 per seat we provide and we handle the whole setup. Kids under 5 always eat free; the $10 only applies if they need their own seat and place setting. That's the only optional charge we have.

Yes. Our listed prices already include 9% sales tax, so there is no additional tax added to the advertised rate. Gratuity is not included.

Yes. We have an 8 guest minimum and a $400 event minimum. This helps cover the chef, grill, preparation, ingredients, setup and travel required for every private event. Both minimums are on the rate card above, so there are no surprises.

We cook all over LA, Orange County and the surrounding areas, based out of La Habra Heights. The first 50 miles are free — that covers Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Pasadena and almost everywhere in between. Past 50 miles it's just $0.50 per mile, and the calculator above works it out for you.

Absolutely — beach houses and vacation rentals are some of our favorite events. One thing to check first: confirm with your host that open-flame outdoor cooking is allowed at the property, and that there's a spot to park and unload. We handle the rest, and we leave the space spotless.

We can cook under any covered outdoor area — a patio, carport, awning or open garage all work, as long as there's ventilation. If the weather makes it genuinely unworkable, we'll reschedule you to another available date at no charge.

Two to three weeks is comfortable. Saturdays and holiday weekends book out first, so if your date is fixed, message us as early as you can. A 20% deposit (minimum $150) locks it in, and the balance is due after the event.

Yes. We swap shrimp or tofu at no charge, and we can cook gluten-free, vegetarian, halal-friendly and no-shellfish portions on a clean section of the grill. Tell us in the form and we'll plan around it.

Plan on about 2 hours for most parties: roughly 30 minutes of setup, an hour of cooking and the show, then cleanup. Larger groups run a little longer.
