Private chef in Austin and Lake Travis

Why Austin groups book a chef

A private chef in Austin lets a group divide the weekend between the city, with South Congress, Rainey Street and East Austin close at hand, and a house on Lake Travis. Lake houses sit a long way from a good dinner reservation, and after a day on the boat, no one should have to drive. With a chef in the kitchen, dinner comes to you.

A weekend plan

• Lake-day lunch: a taco bar or barbecue spread, ready when the boat comes back.
• Saturday dinner: a plated dinner at the house before an evening on Rainey Street.
• Sunday: a build-your-own brunch of breakfast tacos, grits, fruit and a mimosa setup.

What we'd cook in Austin

Austin likes smoke and spice. For a Texas-style spread, we cook BBQ pulled pork, baked beans, pineapple coleslaw and mac & cheese; for lunch, a taco bar; and for a dressed-up dinner, bacon-wrapped filet mignon or the beef brisket from our Indian menu.

Good to know

• Spring and fall are the busiest seasons, and summer lake weekends fill quickly as well.
• Lake houses can be remote, so please send us the address and gate code early.
• Pricing: dinners from $57 a person and brunch or lunch from $68, plus food, with a $830 minimum.
