The Interview Starts in the Driveway.
Chef-to-Chef Mentorship for professional chefs pursuing private service
Your food gets you in the room.
Everything else gets you hired.
THE INTERVIEW STARTS EARLIER THAN YOU THINK
Most chefs think the interview begins when they start cooking.
It doesn't.
It begins the moment you pull into the driveway.
Before you've unpacked your knives.
Before you've stepped into the kitchen.
Before you've cooked a single dish.
The household is already asking themselves questions.
Can I trust this person in my home?
If you're already an exceptional chef, your cooking alone rarely determines whether you're hired.
The deciding factors are often everything happening around the food.
Nobody teaches you this
Culinary school doesn't.
Restaurants don't.
Most recruiters can't.
That's exactly why I created Chef-to-Chef Mentorship.
After years of interviewing chefs for ultra-high-net-worth households, I kept watching talented professionals miss incredible opportunities—not because they couldn't cook, but because no one had ever explained what families were actually evaluating.

I created this mentorship because I spent years wishing I could coach the chefs I was interviewing. Time and again, I wanted to pause an interview and explain what was really happening—what families were evaluating, why certain decisions built trust, and why talented chefs were often focusing on the wrong things. But I couldn't. In that moment, I wasn't their mentor.
I was their interviewer.
Over nearly three decades in the culinary industry—including catering, fine dining, restaurant ownership, executive leadership, corporate dining, independent private cheffing, and full-time roles within ultra-high-net-worth households—I've also been the person hiring private chefs. I've watched exceptional chefs miss incredible opportunities not because they couldn't cook, but because no one had ever explained how private households actually make hiring decisions.
Chef-to-Chef Mentorship is the conversation I always wished I could have with those chefs. Now I finally can.
YOUR CAREER DESERVES MORE THAN GENERIC ADVICE
Private service isn't just about exceptional food.
It's about judgment. Professionalism. Presence. Trust.
Let's make sure you're prepared for the interview before you ever pull into the driveway.
