Birthday Dinner · Private Chef

A birthday dinner worth the year.

Gather the people who matter, hand off the cooking, and spend the night at the table instead of the stove.

The Occasion

Host the party. Skip the work.

The problem with hosting a birthday is that the host rarely gets to enjoy it — too busy cooking, plating, and cleaning to sit down. Chef Rawles takes all of that off your hands so the night belongs to you and your guests.

He designs a menu around the guest of honor, sources it the day of, and cooks it in your kitchen. Courses come out hot and plated; the kitchen goes back to normal before he leaves. You get to be at your own party.

It works for an intimate milestone dinner and for a houseful — plated for smaller groups, catering-style for larger ones.

What's Included

The celebration, catered to.

  • A Menu They'll RememberBuilt around the guest of honor's favorites — the coast's seafood, a proper steak, Caribbean warmth, or a mix. Dietary needs handled for the whole table.
  • Cooked Fresh On-SiteSourced the day of and prepared in your kitchen, so every plate lands at its best.
  • Served to Your GuestsPlated courses for a seated dinner, or a catering-style spread for a larger crowd.
  • Cleanup IncludedThe night ends with cake, not dishes. He leaves the kitchen clean.
The Menu

Their favorites, done properly.

Tell Chef Rawles what the birthday person loves and he will build the evening around it — a steakhouse dinner at home, a seafood feast, a Caribbean spread, or a full tasting menu. He will plate a cake you have brought or fold a birthday nod into dessert.

Seasonal menus, published per-guest pricing, and formats that flex from an intimate dinner to a full house.

Questions

Good to know.

How big a group can you cook for?
From an intimate milestone dinner up through a full house. Plated multi-course dinners suit smaller groups; for larger parties the catering menus keep the same from-scratch standard. Share your headcount and he will recommend the format.
Can you work around a theme or cuisine?
Yes — steakhouse, seafood, Caribbean, or a specific favorite dish. Tell him the guest of honor's taste and he builds to it.
Can you bring or plate the cake?
He will happily plate a cake you provide and work a birthday touch into the final course. Full custom pastry can be discussed when you book.
