Austin Personal Chef: The Easiest Way to Host a Memorable Meal (Without Cooking)

If you love hosting but hate being stuck in the kitchen (or doing dishes while everyone else is laughing in the living room), hiring a personal chef in Austin is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. You get a curated, restaurant-quality meal cooked in your home, built around your tastes, your guests, and your occasion. No stress of reservations or splitting the table at a crowded restaurant.

So, folks, let’s get into what’s included.

What does a private chef experience with NOLA Kitchen look like?

Chef Mike typically handles the entire flow of the meal, including:

  • Menu planning around your preferences and dietary/allergy needs
  • Ingredient sourcing, pantry stocking, and prep
  • Cooking on-site in your kitchen
  • Plating and service style are agreed in advance to suit your taste
  • Cleanup of the kitchen so you can actually enjoy your own event, stress-free

We pride ourselves on the warm involvement you’ll have in the planning (if that works for you!). Chef Mike will chat with you personally to curate something magical.

The NOLA Kitchen difference: Louisiana soul, Texas swagger

If you’re craving something more memorable than “same old catering,” a Louisiana–Texas fusion approach by Chef Mike turns dinner into a true experience! We’re here for bold flavors, big hospitality, and food that feels like a story.
