Fire & Ice
The Experience

In-home private dinners

No venue, no valet, no crowd — the kitchen you already love, turned into a chef's table for the evening.

01

Book & choose

Pick your date and a menu. We'll talk headcount, allergies, and any dish you'd love to see.

02

I source it

I hand-pick every ingredient that week — prime cuts, seafood, and the best produce I can find — and shape the menu around it.

03

I cook in your kitchen

I arrive with everything, cook and plate each course, and pace the meal to your table.

04

You just host

Pour the wine and enjoy your guests. I leave the kitchen cleaner than I found it.

The Chef

A fine-dining résumé, cooking in your kitchen

Taylor Sinn cooks the way great kitchens taught him to — with fire, precision, and a steakhouse's respect for a beautiful piece of protein. Country-club trained and ServSafe-certified, with executive-chef and sous roles across acclaimed steakhouses and fine-dining rooms — from prime chophouses to globally-inspired kitchens — he brings a range most private chefs simply don't have. Now that whole career cooks in one place: your home.

Pricing

Upscale, and worth it

Every price is a per-guest chef's fee — my time and cooking. I handle the groceries and hand-pick every ingredient; you simply cover them at cost. A 50% deposit reserves your date.
