What does the price include?
The whole evening end to end: planning the menu, shopping for every ingredient, cooking in your kitchen, plating and serving each course, and cleaning up so the apartment looks untouched. Your only job is to provide the space, plates, and glassware. No surprise charges, and any tip is at your discretion.
Who books a private chef in Edgewater?
Mostly young professionals in the new towers. Many book weekly meal prep to keep healthy food on hand through a busy week, host small dinner parties and housewarmings as friends move into the neighborhood, or plan a low-key date night without leaving the building. Small birthday and celebration dinners are common too.
Do you handle high-rise buildings and access?
Yes. Nearly every dinner in Edgewater is in a new high-rise, so front-desk check-in and elevator access are routine for our chefs. Once you book, share your building, unit, and any garage or loading instructions, and your chef will coordinate arrival and parking for the groceries and equipment.
Can the chef do healthy, plant-based, or sushi menus?
Yes. Edgewater is a strong neighborhood for healthy and plant-based cooking, and our chefs also cover modern American, sushi and omakase, and Latin menus. You can filter chefs by cuisine and dietary style, and many of our Edgewater chefs are bilingual.
How far in advance should I book?
For a standard dinner, three to five days gives your chef time to plan and shop. For weekends, holidays, and high season from November through April, aim for one to two weeks out because the best Miami chefs fill up quickly. If your date is close, ask anyway, since a short-notice booking often still works.
Do you offer weekly meal prep, not just events?
Yes. A
meal-prep chef comes to your apartment on a set day each week, cooks several days of meals, and leaves them portioned and labeled in your fridge. It is one of the most popular services in Edgewater and usually runs $200 to $350 per week.
