Holiday Dinners · Private Chef

A holiday dinner, and a day off from cooking it.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, or a New Year's table — cooked in your kitchen so the whole family, host included, can sit down together.

The Occasion

Be at the table, not tied to the oven.

Someone always ends up spending the holiday in the kitchen while everyone else is together. Chef Rawles offers a different plan: he cooks the holiday dinner in your home, so the host gets to be present for the day instead of trapped behind it.

He handles the whole meal — the centerpiece, the sides, the timing, the cleanup — sourced fresh and cooked on-site. You keep the traditions that matter and hand off the labor that does not.

It is a genuine gift to whoever usually cooks, and a better holiday for everyone at the table.

What's Included

The whole holiday meal.

  • A Full Holiday MenuCenterpiece and sides, classic or elevated — and room for the family dishes that make it your holiday.
  • Cooked in Your KitchenSourced fresh and prepared on-site, with the timing handled so everything reaches the table hot and together.
  • Served to the Whole FamilyPlated or family-style, sized from an intimate gathering to a full house.
  • The Kitchen, CleanedNo mountain of dishes after. He leaves it clean so you can enjoy the evening.
The Menu

Your traditions, his hands.

Keep grandma's dressing and let Chef Rawles handle the rest, or hand him the whole menu — a classic Thanksgiving, a standing rib roast for Christmas, a Caribbean-touched holiday spread. He will honor the traditions you name.

Holiday dates are the first to fill. Menus are seasonal and priced per guest; reach out early to hold your date.

Can you make our family's traditional dishes?
Yes — that is part of the point. Share the recipes or the traditions that matter and he will cook them alongside his own menu, so it still tastes like your holiday.
How big a group can you cook for?
From an intimate holiday dinner up to a full house. Plated for smaller tables, catering-style for larger ones. Share your headcount and he will set the format.
