Hosting a Chef Dinner in Your Miami Beach Kitchen
A kitchen in a Miami Beach building is not the same as a house kitchen, and the building has its own rules. Your chef cooks in your kitchen, so a few checks before the date keep the evening smooth. Building rules are set by your building, so check them when you pick a date.
- Your KitchenTell your coordinator about your counter space, oven and stovetop. Clear the counters before the chef arrives, since larger tables take more room to plate.
- The BuildingAsk your building about elevator reservations, parking for loading and quiet hours. These rules belong to the building, so check them as soon as you pick a date.
- The TableIs the table on a balcony, a terrace or in the dining room? Open-air tables bring sun, wind and heat, so tell your coordinator where guests will sit and plan the evening around it.
- Preparation AheadSome prep can happen before the dinner, so less of the work happens in your kitchen on the night. Your coordinator explains what is prepared ahead when you approve the menu.
- Diets and AllergiesTell your coordinator which dietary needs and allergies are at your table before you approve the menu. A fully vegan menu is available.
- TimingBook private dinners two to three weeks ahead. The quote follows within 24 hours of your request.
