Private Chef Services
Hyper-Local - Seasonal - Crafted With IntentionAt Wild Foods by Dyllan, every private chef experience is built around one core belief: the best meals come from what’s grown, raised, and gathered close to home.
Each dinner is designed using hyper-local ingredients, seasonal produce, small-farm proteins, and—when you want it—wild foraged foods that bring depth, character, and a sense of place to every course.
Whether the menu is fully wild, completely non‑wild, or a curated mix of both, your evening is crafted to be personal, memorable, and deeply flavorful.
We offer three distinct private chef experiences, allowing you to choose the level of service and presentation that best fits your gathering.
1. Harvest Buffet | $100 per person
A thoughtfully curated buffet featuring seasonal, hyper-local dishes. Guests serve themselves and enjoy a relaxed, abundant dining experience—perfect for casual celebrations and larger groups.
2. Gathered Family Style | $150 per person
A guided family-style meal where a dedicated server presents each dish and serves guests directly at the table. This option balances warmth and elegance, encouraging connection while elevating the dining experience.
3. Chef’s Table Plated Experience | $200 per person
Our most refined offering, where each course is individually plated by the chef and presented at its highest level. This experience highlights technique, storytelling, and presentation for an intimate, restaurant-level meal in your home.
What sets this experience apart?
Hyper-local sourcing
Each menu is built around what’s fresh, local, and in season—supporting small farmers, local producers, and regional artisans.
Your meal isn’t pulled from a national supplier list; it’s shaped by real relationships with growers, ranchers, and makers in the community.
Wild or non-wild—your choice
Some guests want the excitement of wild mushrooms, native fruits, and woodland herbs.
Others prefer elevated comfort food or a refined, non-wild farm-to-table meal.
Both are available, and your menu is designed around exactly what you love.
Fully customized menus
No templates and no pre-set options.
Every experience begins with a conversation about your tastes, dietary needs, and event style.
From there, a custom menu is crafted from scratch to reflect your vision.
An elevated in-home experience
The full restaurant experience comes to you, including:
-Menu development
-Ingredient sourcing
-On-site cooking
-Plating and service
-Complete cleanup
You focus on your guests; everything else is handled for you.
