Bobby Scheve

I bring CIA-trained technique and warm hospitality to private dining that feels made just for you.

Chef John

I’m a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, and my career has taken me through fine dining, sushi, seafood, and a wide range of cuisines and techniques. Today, I bring that experience directly into my guests’ homes through personalized private dining.

I design every menu specifically for the people I’m cooking for—your tastes, the occasion, the season, and the kind of experience you want. My cooking can be fresh and approachable with a coastal focus, or refined and multi-course with modern culinary techniques, and I always want you to relax and leave the table feeling like the dinner was created especially for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 182 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Chef's special, Local, Italian and Japanese. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
