Private Chefs vs Personal Chefs. What’s the difference?

Considering how Be Positive Media is one of the best in the business when it comes to being in the know, it was a no brainier to share with you all the lifestyle services Goldfire Private Chefs provide to those who seek the good life.

My name is D’Andre McCarter, and I am the Operations Manager and Private Chef to celebrities and everyday people.

Working along side of the Aliyah “Mamapain” Najm (she showcased her culinary talents on the Food Network’s hit television show, “The Clash of the Grandmas”, a role in which she delighted the judges and audience members with her refined, contemporary cuisine).

Aliyah’s creativity, spontaneity, and colorful personality won her first prize on the cooking show. As part of her job to inspire and educate, she is now representing some of the most experienced and talented chefs in Atlanta.
If you’ve ever wondered how your favorite actor, actress or performing artist looks so good for so lo

ng you can bet that a professional chef had something to do with it.

Imagine healthy food by request. If you’ve ever uttered the phrase, “I’d like to eat a healthy meal, please have one prepared for me chef,” then you know you are living the good life. Hollywood is full of people who get paid to be beautiful and I am the one they would hire to stay that way.

Based in Atlanta, GA is where we provide private chef services to Families, Singles, Active Seniors, Famous Entertainers NFL and NBA Players, Film Makers, Movie Stars, CEO of Large Corporations, Hip-Hop Artist and Models, and after serving in the hotel industry for many years, I made a discovery. I was cooking for celebrities but no one knew it because I was not seen nor could I talk to the celebritie

 

s that I always admired. (Upscale hotels prohibit staff from speaking to any celebrities for privacy reasons.)

Among those I have cooked for were Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Tiger Woods, David Banner, Tina Turner, Seinfeld, and many many more .

 

 

Now you might say hiring a chef is a bit much, however you get a whole lot in return for your investment. For example, people who can hire a private chef may have guests coming to the house, and you need life and etiquette skills with diverse people.

I respect the home as defined by the family I work for. Some families allow their private chef to eat dinner with them, some do not. However, that was not the case in the households I served. As an employee, I could not sit down on the couch after dinner and watch a movie with everyone.

There are rules that must be followed
when working in a client’s home. Privacy is paramount to families with private chefs. Most high profile clients require their chefs to sign a confidentiality agreement for privacy reasons. Many people ask what is the is the difference between a Personal Chef and a Private Chef?

A private chef is employed by one individual or family full time, and is often “living in” and preparing up to 3 meals per day.

A personal chef serves several clients, usually once per day, and provides multiple meals that are custom designed for the client’s particular requests and requirements.

These meals are packaged and stored so that the client may enjoy them at their leisure in the future.

Hiring a chef to plan, shop for and prepare 20 meals in your kitchen to freeze and eat later costs from $400 to $175.00 on the low end for rural residents, but it’s more costly for those in big cities like Hollywood, Ca.

Using website referrals and the phone book are good ways to find a personal chef, but choosing one to actually work in your home requires diligence. Follow these three suggestions to ensure your chef is top-notch:
1. Check each candidate’s references and inquire about his or her training and work experience.
2. Ask the candidate for a sample menu, and initiate a discussion about personal cooking philosophy.
3. Interview the candidate in person in your home, where he or she can do an assessment of your kitchen and your appliances.

Or you can always book Goldfire Private Chefs to handle all of your needs.
