Personal Chef
in Nashville, TN.
I'm Joshua. I cook private dinners in your home, stock your fridge with real food every week, and design tasting menus you actually remember. One chef, three formats, sourced from farms I know by name.
Two ways to work together
A personal chef, built around your week.
Pick the format that fits. Every path leads back to the same chef, the same farms, and the same standard.
Back by request
The Southern Menu is back.
The original four-course dinner that started it all — smoke, fire, and elevated Southern cooking, plated in your home. Select one from each course. $125 per guest.

Cooked from the farms next door.
Middle Tennessee grows real food. I pick up beef from Bear Creek in Bedford County, heritage poultry from Joyce Farms, heirloom rice from Tennemo out west, greens from Ferrell Family, raw honey from Queen Bee. The menu starts at the farm and gets to your table.

How it works
Three steps from first call to the meal.
Tell me what you need
Use the inquiry form or book a consultation. We talk through the occasion, the room, the people you're feeding, and any allergies.
I design and plan
You get a menu proposal, a clear price, and a date locked. I handle the shopping and every detail of the timeline.
I cook. You sit down.
I arrive, set up, cook, serve, and clean. You spend the evening with your guests — not in the kitchen.
What clients say
"Joshua cooked an anniversary dinner in our home that genuinely felt better than the best restaurant we'd been to all year. The food, the pace, the calm — perfect."
— Anna & David · Belle Meade

- What does it cost to hire a private chef in Nashville?
- Most private dinners fall between $95 and $165 per person depending on menu, course count, and party size. I send a clear quote before anything is locked.

- Two to six weeks is comfortable for private dinners. Big weekends — Valentine's, Mother's Day, holidays — fill up faster.
