Private chef in Snowmass

Private chef service in Snowmass, in short.

Chef Chris Mitchum cooks private dinners for groups staying in Snowmass Village, from one family dinner to several nights across a stay, and can fill the nights between with prepared meals. For a private dinner, he plans the menu, cooks, serves with at least one server, and cleans up.

A meal for the whole group.

For a Snowmass Village stay, tell Chris how many adults and children are coming and which meals you want handled. Different ages, dinner times, and dietary needs belong in the planning conversation.

Chris’s menus are starting points, so the plan can bend to the people at the table. Vegetarian choices are available on request.

Several nights, one plan.

For a longer stay, list every date you want covered, and Chris can plan a menu sequence across the week.

On the nights between, his prepared cuisine packages come in three levels: Intermediate, Advanced, and Double Diamond. The Intermediate level includes breakfast provisions, with bagels, eggs, ground coffee, and creamer.

What a private dinner includes.

• A reception selection before dinner
• Four courses, with vegetarian choices on request
• At least one server
• China, glassware, silverware, and linens
• Cleanup after the meal

A server, the tableware, and cleanup are part of it, so you stay at the table with your guests.

Start from the plated menus, the Hot Dog 1984 menu, or Mountain Time Social for a gathering with shared selections and individual plates. Every menu is a starting point for a conversation with Chris.
