Personal Chef Life in Atlanta

The life of personal chef it’s not easy. We deal with traffic all day long going from client house to client house. We often work independently (meaning you are responsible to send menus, grocery shopping, and cooking what THE CLIENT wants). I emphasize the word client because a personal chef cooks what the client wants! A lot of chefs come into the personal chef industry thinking they will cook what they want and it does not work like that. If a chef wants to make chefy food, then this is not the industry for them. We make food for what the client wants and lot of times it’s as a simple spaghetti and meatballs meal.

 Also, this job you have to be focus. The people you cook for enjoy different dishes from each other and you have to remember that.  You also have to remember what spices each client has in their cabinet and what allergies they have. Also, you do a lot of cleaning! In the restaurant you have a dishwasher. In the personal chef industry, you are the dishwasher combined with personal chef.  You wear multiple hats every day.  A lot of the times you are nutritionist and other times you are the dishwasher.  This is not an easy job, which is why it pays better than the average industry.

There are perks on being a personal chef. Working independently can be a great thing! You have more autonomy on your everyday life.  It can be very peaceful.  You don’t have people cursing in the kitchen like in the restaurants. You get to know your families, which for me is the best perk of the job.  Some clients they go above and beyond to be such a great people. In turn, you do want to cook great food for them!  You make extra snacks or birthday cake.  The clients that I work for through Atlanta Personal Chef Service are the nicest people I’ve ever met. You do your job well and they will support you.

Atlanta personal chef service does catering events, dinner party services, and cooking lessons apart from their weekly services. So, they will keep you busy! The dinner party service is where you apply the chef skills and cook some fine dining food. This is not an easy job, but Atlanta Personal Chef Service will sure help you succeed!
