Key Features of Sit-Down Catering by a Blues Chef:
Customized Menus: The private chef works with the host to create a menu that reflects the occasion and guests’ tastes. The menu can be adjusted to cater to dietary restrictions (e.g., vegan, gluten-free, kosher), or to match specific cuisines or themes, such as French, Italian, Mediterranean, or fusion.
Multi-Course Meal: A sit-down meal often consists of multiple courses, which can include:
Appetizers/Canapés: Light starters to stimulate the appetite. These can be plated or served as small bites.
Soup or Salad: A refreshing or warming first course, such as a seasonal soup or an elegant salad with a homemade dressing.
Main Course: This is the heart of the meal, often featuring a choice of proteins (e.g., beef tenderloin, roasted chicken, fish, or vegetarian options like stuffed mushrooms or risotto) served with sides like roasted vegetables, grains, or potatoes.
Dessert: A sweet ending, which can range from a decadent chocolate mousse, panna cotta, or a tasting platter with assorted pastries and fruits.
Fine Dining Presentation: The chef ensures that each course is beautifully plated and served with care. Presentation is a key element of fine dining, and the dishes will be presented in a visually appealing way, often with garnishes and sauces that elevate the overall experience.

Wine Pairing: For a more sophisticated experience, the private chef may also collaborate with a sommelier to offer wine pairings that complement each course. Guests may enjoy wine or champagne as an accompaniment, with the chef ensuring the right balance of flavors between food and drink.
Table Setup and Decor: A private chef may also assist in organizing the table settings, working with an event planner to arrange the perfect ambiance. This might include elegant table linens, stylish tableware, and floral arrangements that reflect the theme of the event.
Waitstaff and Service: If requested, the private chef can bring a team of servers to ensure the smooth delivery of each course. Service is often formal, with waitstaff presenting each dish to the guest, ensuring everyone is served at the same time, and clearing plates efficiently. This enhances the fine dining experience and helps maintain the flow of the meal.
Interactive Experience: In some cases, a private chef may also offer a cooking demonstration or a small interactive experience where guests can learn about the dishes being prepared, ask questions, or even participate in the cooking process, especially for a smaller, more intimate group.
