Executive Business Dinners - The New Way of Business Entertaining

A new spin has emerged in the realm of business entertaining--invite guests into your home for a personalized meal. A dinner hosted in your home is a sincere way to show your hospitality, and exudes confidence as well.

“But I’m not a great cook--and I don’t really want to cook either.”

That’s where companies like female-owned Atlanta Personal Chef Service fill the gap. They specialize in business dinner parties, and allow the business to take place over a menu of sophisticated food served with perfect timing to create an environment suitable for the dinner’s agenda.

The chef team may have drafted a sous-chef, serving help, or even a professional sommelier. The sommelier, which only some folks opt to have, can present and explain wines as they are paired with courses. A server ensures that all glasses are filled, plates are cleared, and warm food is served without anyone needing to leave the table. Its just like a fine dining restaurant, except you don’t need to worry about spotty service.

Personal assistants and event planners are turning more and more to personal chefs to provide a unique and personal touch on business entertaining. Even the fanciest of restaurants can be

loud, crowded, and lacking in privacy for any confidential business discussions that may need to take place. Personal chefs can provide more a personal touch to an event, with customized coursed menus and the wonderful aroma of the food cooking the home kitchen. With groups with fine tastes in liquors, a personal chef can even be a cheaper option, as the beverage mark up in a restaurant can be outlandish.

“We will recommend wine pairings, but our clients purchase their own alcohol. Most clients prefer this, since they don’t have to pay restaurant prices, yet still have their drinks served to them,” Chef Patricia of Atlanta Personal Chef Service explains.

Atlanta Personal Chef Service makes hosting a dinner party easy. They will suggest menu options, that you can then customize or tweak to your preferences. The chef will come to view your kitchen prior to the event, to make sure to bring any missing equipment that will be needed. On the day of the event, the chef will do all the grocery shopping and arrive about 3-4 hours before the scheduled dinner time. You’ll be served an appetizer or hors d’oeuvres while your guests arrive and mingle, followed by a salad, entree, and dessert.

“The best part of serving a meal is hearing the guests reactions. Just last weekend, I heard a client say, ‘Now I’ve had plenty of great halibut in my day, but this is by far the tastiest.’ When you hear comments like that, it motivates you to keep cooking bold food with high-quality ingredients,” Patricia recalls.
