Introduction
Thank you for considering me for your event! I have been cooking for over 30 years, mostly in California, Massachusetts and NJ. I have cooked for the rich & famous, and have owned a restaurant in the Caribbean. I can do small private dinner parties for 10-20 people or larger events up to 150. My events are high end, with attention to detail. I LOVE what I do, it is my passion. I am reliable, professional and hard working to ensure your event is a success. My goal is to make you feel like your event is an amazing one, well executed with attention to detail and amazing, delicious food made from scratch. An educational note regarding private Chefs. Are you looking for a private Chef? Here is what you need to know… Private Chefs can also be caterers, but they mostly are working alone with no staff until the event. There are less than 5,000 private Chefs in the country. Of those, 60% are employed by a single household. The pandemic has boosted the private Chef industry as many people are looking for home based events. The average National cost for hiring a private Chef is $250per person. This greatly varies , but it depends on the State and location and also the experience and background of the Chef. The #1 site to search for a private chef is Thumbtack. There are also additional private Chef sites, like private chefs inc.com, but organizations like these mostly deal with clients with exceptionally large finances. Private chefs are responsible for menu planning, customer service, preparation for events. They can also assist with booking bartenders, arranging florals, printed menus and more for your event. Some private Chefs are new to the industry and the work is very different than restaurant work. Make sure to ask how long your Chef has been working privately and ask if they have reviews or referrals. With few private Chefs to go around, book your event early! Most book between 6 weeks and 6 months out, especially during summer/high season. Not 48 hours. If you have a strict budget, many Chefs will be able to accommodate you by doing a drop off meal. At RoadhouseCulinary, we boast over 30 years of private experience. We love what we do and hope to hear from you about your upcoming event. We are located in NJ, but we travel the country and abroad for our events.

Chef Kelly deserves TEN stars. She has created 2 magnificent and elegant dinners for my guests, my husband, and I! The meals were not only very delicious, but were also fabulously presented! Kelly makes this more than just dinner, it is an experience and a highlight for all! One of my guests said this is a once in a lifetime event of true pampering! Kelly is on top of her game when it comes to putting menus together, recommending wines to pair well with the food, and organizing the prep, serving, and clean-up with flare and seamlessness! Plus, Kelly is an all around great person you can count on! There is no doubt she puts her heart and soul into this! Enjoy! Bon Appetite!

Working with Kelly for my sisters bachelorette weekend was my first private chef experience. From the start Kelly was responsive and a pleasure to work with. She provided information and answered all my questions with patience. I had a vision for a specific event and she made suggestions and accommodated the menu and evening to meet the event details. The food was DELICIOUS and we all had a great time enjoying good food and celebrating my sister. I’d highly recommend Kelly for your next event. You will NOT regret it.

Details: Shower (baby, bridal, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Asian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Italian • American - formal • Mexican / Latin American • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
