Frequently asked

Everything you need to know about booking Chef AntyO — from your first call with the chef to the last bite on your plate.

Once you submit a request, our executive chef will personally reach out within 24 to 48 hours to begin the conversation.

During that call, the chef will get to know your palate — favorite cuisines, dishes you love, ingredients to avoid, and any allergies or dietary needs for your guests. From that conversation, we’ll craft a customized menu and email it to you for review.

You’re welcome to request adjustments until the menu is exactly right. Once you approve the final menu, a deposit secures your date and reserves the chef’s calendar exclusively for your event.

We handle every detail. On the day of your event, our team purchases all ingredients fresh and arrives at your location 30 to 60 minutes before service with the full kitchen — equipment, tools, and prepped components included.

From there, all you need to do is relax. Watch the chef work, ask questions, learn the technique behind a sauce — engaging with the kitchen is part of the experience, and we love it.

When dinner concludes, our team cleans the entire workspace and packs out. Your home is left exactly as we found it.

Please note: A final invoice will be sent on the day of the event. Settle the balance before our team arrives so service can begin uninterrupted.

Absolutely. Private dinner menus are fully customizable and built around your tastes, your guests, and the occasion.

For weekly meal prep clients, our executive chef curates a fresh menu emailed to you each week. With a rotating culinary calendar, you’ll likely go months before seeing the same dish twice — every week is a new tasting.

Yes — there’s no long-term commitment. You can cancel or pause the weekly meal prep service at any time, with no fees and no awkward conversations.

Each week, you’ll receive the upcoming menu by email and simply decide whether to order. Skip a week, take a month off, or come right back — the service is built around your schedule.

If it involves a table and people you care about, Chef AntyO is ready. We cater a wide range of occasions, including:

  • Intimate date nights and anniversaries
  • Corporate dinners, client entertaining, and team off-sites
  • Weddings, rehearsal dinners, and engagement parties
  • Holiday gatherings and seasonal celebrations
  • Family dinners, birthdays, and milestone parties
  • Bridal and baby showers, retirement parties, and more

Don’t see your event listed? Reach out — we’d love to hear about it.

There is no limit to what Chef AntyO can prepare. From classic American comfort food and refined French technique to Southern soul, coastal seafood, Italian, Caribbean, Asian fusion, and globally-inspired tasting menus — if you can dream the dish, we can build the menu.

Dietary preferences — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, pescatarian, keto, halal, kosher-style — are all welcome and built thoughtfully into every plan.

There is no set maximum. Chef AntyO is equipped to scale from an intimate dinner for two to large catered events for hundreds.

For larger gatherings, staffing and timeline planning depend on the date you select — the earlier you reach out, the more flexibility we have to assemble the right team for your event.

We accept a wide range of payment methods for your convenience:

  • Cash and personal or business check
  • All major credit cards
  • CashApp, Venmo, and Zelle
  • PayPal
Please note: an additional 3.5% processing fee applies to all credit card and PayPal transactions.
