Gold Coast covers two very different kinds of home. A high-rise tower along the lake with a doorman and a skyline view. A historic rowhome on a side street like Astor. A private chef dinner fits either one.
How does a private chef dinner work in Gold Coast?
The process stays the same across the city. We talk about the night, build a seasonal menu, shop for it, cook in your kitchen, serve, and clean up. See the private chef page for the full breakdown.
What do Gold Coast kitchens look like?
High-rise kitchens here tend to be compact but well equipped, built more for entertaining than for daily cooking. Historic rowhomes closer to Astor Street often have a full kitchen and a proper dining room. Either setup works for a full seasonal menu.
What about building access and doorman coordination?
Doorman buildings are common in Gold Coast, and most have a process for guest and vendor arrival. We confirm that process with you ahead of time, including any freight elevator or service entrance the building prefers we use.
Where do the ingredients come from?
The same sources as every Thursday Dinners menu. Green City Market when it runs, Dill Pickle Food Co-op, Local Foods, and a short list of butchers and fishmongers we trust, brought to your kitchen instead of served off a fixed menu.
