Private Chef & In-Home Dining Experiences

Your personal chef and assistant will arrive fully prepared with all ingredients, cookware, and professional tools.

Light prep and plating will be done on-site, with some items pre-marinated or pre-prepped for efficiency.

Your full XOCO in-home dining experience typically lasts 3-4 hours, including preparation, plating, serving, and cleanup. Dinner is usually served 60-75 minutes after the chef’s arrival.

We provide everything needed to prepare and serve your meal, including premium ingredients, chef’s knives, cookware, and plating tools. You’ll only need to provide access to your kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, small appliances, refrigerator) and a dining area.
