FAQ’s

Why Hire a Private Chef?

If you need a caterer, it’s always best to choose a Private Chef whenever you have the opportunity. Private Chefs cook everything from scratch as much as possible, our time is dedicated exclusively to you, and we personally stand behind our reputations. The only reason we don’t use the term caterer is to separate ourselves from the low quality often experienced with the average caterer. Otherwise, we are just caterers who work with smaller groups. Chef Nick handles from 5 to 100 guests, and that’s pretty large for guaranteeing our food compares to the best restaurants in town. In fact, with a 30 year career in NYC & on the Las Vegas Strip chef Nick guarantees your catered food will rival that of your favorite restaurant no matter what major U.S. city you live in.

How Do I know Which Private Chef is Right For Me?

If you’re having trouble choosing your Private Chef, just look at their menu first. You should be seeing food that you love, or would love to try. If their menu has neither you will most likely be unimpressed with the service as well. If your trouble is that you have a few chefs whose menus all look terrific, the next thing to look at is our price point. If they do not advertise their prices it may indicate a lack of expertise, or more unfortunately, ethics. You should proceed with caution and ask a lot of questions before telling them your budget. Chef Nick offers a Family Style service for those on a budget and Formal services for those looking for individual plating, but all his pricing is advertised here on his site. Other chefs offer individual plating for not much more than our Family Style, and that’s just another reason a Private Chef is your best option. Each one of us has our own unique approach to how we perform our services. So choose the Private Chef whose services and menu best fit what you’re looking for. Chef Nick’s Private Chef business model is to provide the freshest quality food, expertly prepared by a master chef.

Is a Private Chef Expensive?

Not compared to the local scene here in Sedona. In fact, with most of our restaurants refusing to seat groups larger than 5 at the same table, a Private Chef is usually the best option for cost, convenience and quality. Compared to our finest restaurants chef Nick’s Private Chef service is cheaper. Especially if you drink wine or cocktails with dinner. As per AZ law we do not provide liquor, so buying your own saves a ton of money. You can buy a bottle of anything for the cost of just 2 drinks in the average restaurant. And chef Nick’s service goes by standard restaurant portions when it comes to the food we serve. So if you choose the starch entrée over a 2nd appetizer you’ll most likely get lunch the next day with the leftovers.

Is a Private Chef Better Than the Best Restaurant in Town?

Chef Nick’s Private Chef services is. We offer a budget friendly Family Style Chef’s Dinner whose food quality is not matched in our eyes, and our Formal services compare easily to the finest restaurants and wedding venues. Our fish is bought fresh in Phoenix the day before, and we use the same sources as our best restaurants. We also offer steaks from our very own dry ageing program. Wherever we can, we take a great product and make it even better. Chef Nick also has specialty items flown in regularly. Sherry vinegar from Spain, Balsamic & Olive Oil from Italy, and Truffles from France or Piemonte Italy. Remember, the food is always the same no matter what service you need. Plated, Family Style, or Buffet, we NEVER shortcut the products or food quality.
