Job Description

We are seeking a talented and dedicated chef to provide a unique and intimate dining experience for a special Valentine’s Day dinner at a private residence. This opportunity offers a competitive event rate of $400 plus the cost of the menu. Our hiring party is a couple looking for a professional who can create a memorable and romantic meal in the comfort of their home.
