TAHOE PRIVATE CHEF - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (F.A.Q.)

Because I typically do smaller intimate gatherings, billing is based on a Chef's Hourly rate for shop, prep and service time plus the cost of food. It will ultimately depend a lot on service style, allergies, and menu choices- instead of just the group size.

My two main fish sources come from Pier 45 in SF, and Toyosu Fish Auctions in Japan. I get it shipped overnight but sometimes have to make a long drive to ensure I am serving the highest quality fish! I take pride in getting products that the sushi restaurants in this area don't offer.

I have 15 years of sushi experience learning from traditional chefs, and have applied that to what I know about the "western palate". I also spent time in Japan in 2017 learning about the cuisine and culture. I will be returning there during Winter of 2023! I take pride in transforming your menu input into a dinner you'll never forget.

Yes! I have done small intimate dinners in the past. But it does take me a similar amount of labor as a larger group would.

I am based out of Truckee and mainly operate locally and around Squaw, Alpine Meadows, Tahoe City, Carnelian Bay, Incline Village, Northstar, Martis Camp, and everywhere in between! I do occasionally travel as far as SLT, Grass Valley, Reno, or Carson City, although winter bookings are not as likely.

I will arrive 2.5 hours before service begins and always leave kitchens more clean than I found them.
