Chef

We are a family based in Smyrna, Tennessee seeking a highly skilled and creative personal chef to prepare an elevated and memorable dining experience on June 20th, 2026. Our family consists of six adults and we are passionate about enjoying meals that are indulgent in flavor and presentation, similar to what one might expect from a fine dining restaurant. We are looking for a chef who can bring unique flavors to the table, crafting a dinner that includes juicy proteins, flavorful and vibrant vegetables, and perfectly cooked starches. The experience should feel luxurious and enjoyable, all within the comfort of our home.

This opportunity offers the chance to demonstrate culinary creativity, with the flexibility to design a menu that can be tailored to our tastes and preferences. We are open to ideas and encourage you to propose unique dishes that will delight and impress. While dinner is the main focus of this job, an optional dessert component is highly desirable, ideally something creamy, delicious, and a perfect sweet conclusion to the meal. The dessert is optional depending on pricing but would be a welcome addition.

We require the meal to be prepared and ready to serve between 5 and 6 pm on June 20th, with the dessert served afterwards if applicable. The chef should have experience cooking for small groups and be comfortable sharing photos of their previous culinary creations along with proof of their experience. Communication and menu planning will be important to ensure the meal fits our expectations and everyone is happy with the dishes served.

This position is ideal for chefs who enjoy crafting fine dining-style meals with complex and thoughtful flavor profiles, all while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere in a family home environment. If you have a passion for excellence in cooking and can bring your creativity to life in a personal setting, we would love to hear from you.

Located in Smyrna, TN, this is a special one-time service role for a family dinner event with the possibility of future engagements based on satisfaction and mutual interest. Compensation will be discussed in accordance with the culinary experience and the complexity of the menu proposed. We look forward to collaborating on a customized menu that will make this dinner truly exceptional.
