About Personal Chef Finder
Personal Chef Finder is a directory. It helps people find a personal chef in their city, and it helps personal chefs get found by the people looking for them.
Why it exists
Plenty of good personal chefs are hard to find online. Their websites are thin, their specialty is unclear, or they do not show up when someone searches their city. People looking for a chef have the opposite problem: they do not know who is out there, what the service includes or what it costs.
This site puts the two together. It lists 1,875 personal chefs in 21 cities, explains how the service works and what it costs, and gives every chef a way to claim their listing and describe their own work.
Who runs it
Personal Chef Finder was started by Louie Montan. He ran the business side of The Organic Personal Chef, the New York City and Long Island service led by his wife, Chef Vanda Azevedo: the marketing, the contracts, the client communication and the systems. He also worked beside her as sous chef.
Louie also runs Become A Personal Chef, which teaches chefs the business side of the work, hosts The Become A Personal Chef Podcast and has written more than a dozen books for personal chefs.
How listings work
- Searching is free. You contact chefs directly and pay them directly.
- Most listings start from public business information. A chef can claim a listing for free and replace it with their own description.
- Chefs can pay to become Verified, which places them first on their city page. Read what Verified means.
- We do not take a percentage of any chef's work, set prices or act as an agency.
- We do not vet unclaimed listings. Interview any chef and check references before you hire.
Corrections and removals
If you own a listed business and want the listing corrected or removed, contact us and we will take care of it.
