PRIVATE CHEF AVAILABLE: Full-Time | Live-In or Live-Out | Luxury Hospitality Background
Hi, I'm a hospitality professional looking to connect with a family or individual in need of a dedicated full-time personal chef. I am based in the Chicagoland area, but open to relocating for the right opportunity.
My culinary journey started in my mom's kitchen, cooking family dinners as a teenager. Since then I've built a 10+ year career across some of the country's top hospitality settings: two years on the banquet team at the Forbes Five Star Trump International Hotel Chicago, followed by four years at their Two Michelin Star restaurant Sixteen, where I worked my way up to junior sous chef studying Classical French technique. I later worked as sous chef at The W Hotel Aspen and in luxury floor service at the Forbes Four Star St. Regis Aspen. Most recently I was an event chef and manager with Knife & Faulk in Dallas, designing stunning events and cooking directly in clients' homes.
Along the way I've cooked for local families, public figures, and the ultra wealthy alike, and I understand the discretion and adaptability that comes with working in a private household.
Position I'm seeking:
-Full-time, live-in or live-out personal chef
-$115k/year
-Open to relocation
What I offer:
-Culinary degree + nutritional knowledge
-Michelin Star-trained attention to detail
-Experience tailoring meals to dietary needs and preferences
-Discretion, flexibility, and genuine care for the people I cook for
-Experience in event cooking and design, from intimate dinners to large-scale gatherings
-Legal U.S. work authorization and open to travelling to accommodate client (Valid Passport)
I'm currently seeking a family/individual who values great food and a chef they can trust. I am happy to share references, a full resume, or to schedule a trial meal. Reach out and let's talk about what your family needs.
