In a city known for Carolina barbecue, comfort food, and a growing mix of global restaurants, a romantic dinner at home can be every bit as special as a night out. A private chef arrives with everything needed to cook and serve a personalized 3-course meal for two, so you can focus on each other instead of the kitchen. Your menu includes an entrée plus 2 courses chosen from soup, salad, appetizer, and dessert.

Here's what to expect:

1. Set the Date: Pick the evening that works best for the two of you and decide where you'd like to dine at home.
2. Pick a Menu: Look through the Charlotte chefs' menus and choose the dishes you're most excited to try.
3. Menu Confirmation: Expect to hear from your chef within 48 hours to lock in the menu and dietary needs.
4. Dinner Service: On the day, your chef arrives with all the ingredients and equipment, then prepares and serves each course in your home.
5. Spotless Finish: Your chef washes up before leaving, so the evening ends without a single dish to do.
