About Me

Integrating Food Services and Sport Fandom

Hi, my name is Ginny, and I love sports. I also love everything about the restaurant industry – I have dined and worked at countless restaurants, and I have also volunteered at kitchens that feed the homeless. Over the years, I have really noticed what works and what doesn't in the food services industry, especially as related to sports. I have seen how to attract people to your restaurant to watch sports games, how to write a menu that appeals to a certain type of sports fan and how to successfully plan the food at special sporting events. In this blog, I am going to explore everything related to sports and food services. Whether you are looking for tips for your restaurant, sports bar or even your food truck, I hope that you find answers here. Grab a snack, get comfortable and start reading. Enjoy!

3 Ways To Enhance A Private Chef Meal Experience

Hiring a private chef to create a meal for you and close family members can come with a lot of memorable moments and a special experience. Along with the professional meal prep and service, you can make the event feel even more special with the add-ons you choose for the experience. 

A private chef includes many add-ons and you can personalize the experience to fit your needs and create a dinner you will not forget for a long time. Check out some of the ways to enhance a chef-for-hire event.

1. Event Lighting

The meal itself will look spectacular, but you can set the mood even further with professional event lighting. Event lighting specialists can completely transform the look of a room with temporary light installations. For example, the dinner could feature under-table lighting that adds a nice glow to the table area.

Colored lights could add a nice theme to the room and change the mood. Soft dimmed lights could make the private chef experience more intimate, especially if you use the event as a special date or celebration with a partner. Other options include LED lights, string lights, or special candles.

Lighting teams will present you with options. View sample pictures and choose the best designs for your own dinner.

2. Table Centerpieces and Linens

If you choose to host a special event chef for hire in your own home, you do not need to eat at your plain dining room table. Elevate the experience with the use of table centerpieces and linens. A table will feel and look completely different with a high-quality tablecloth placed across the top of it.

You could also add a centerpiece to the table. The centerpiece could include a flower arrangement or an elegant decoration. If the dinner falls near a holiday or an event like a birthday, then the centerpiece could include those themes.

3. Private Bartender

Along with a custom-crafted meal, you and your guests could include some custom drinks during the experience. A private bartender would work in tandem with a private chef and deliver a wide range of drinks. Enjoy specialty mixes and choose a fun menu that includes a wide range of drink options.

The drinks are an ideal way to start a dinner party and entertain guests while the private chef prepares the meal. A bartender may have some signature drinks or you can put in requests ahead of time for some of your favorite options.

Inquire a private chef about all of the add-on options and see the ways you can truly transform your dining experience.
