Get to know me better

NYC private chef delivering elevated, fine-dining experiences in the comfort of your home!

I’m Chef Samuel, a NYC-based private chef focused on creating elevated, restaurant-level experiences in the comfort of your home.

My background is rooted in fine dining, where I’ve worked in kitchens such as Jean-Georges, Ai Fiori, Marea, Locanda Verde, and The Mark Hotel, holding roles including Sous Chef,Executive Sous Chef, and Chef de Cuisine.That experience shaped a strong focus on precision, ingredient quality, and refined presentation.

I bring that same level of execution into every private event—whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a multi-course tasting experience. Each menu is fully customized around your preferences and the kind of experience you want to create.

My style leans toward clean, composed plates, seasonal ingredients, and a smooth, well-paced service so you can fully enjoy the evening without interruption.

From sourcing to execution, everything is handled with intention.The goal is simple—deliver an experience that feels elevated, seamless, and worth remembering.
