We don't take on more events than we can deliver at the highest standard — which is why we limit our World Cup availability to a fixed number of Thursday–Sunday slots for the entire tournament.

Chef Ana leads every event personally with a small team of 1–4 chefs depending on your group size. Everything is cooked fresh at your location — not delivered in trays from a commissary kitchen. The result feels like a private restaurant experience, not a catered event. **How many guests can you serve for a World Cup event?** We serve groups from 5 to 40 guests across two formats. For up to 15 guests, Chef Ana leads a private chef experience with 1–2 co-chefs. For groups of 15–40, we bring a full team of 4–5 chefs for a dedicated Watch Party experience. Both are premium — the scale and feel are different. **Can you come to our office, home, or rented venue?** Yes — we come to you. Corporate offices, private residences, rented event spaces, villas, rooftops — anywhere in Greater Houston. We set up and operate from your kitchen or an on-site station. Your guests don't travel anywhere. **Do you only cover Houston match days?** We cover all 104 matches of the tournament — not just the 7 Houston games. The World Cup runs 39 days from June 11 to July 19. We're available Thursday through Sunday throughout, so you can host a watch party for any match: group stage, knockouts, semifinals, or the Final. **Can you design a menu around the countries playing that night?** Absolutely — and it's one of the most requested options. Spanish tapas for Spain. Brazilian churrasco for Brazil. Moroccan mezze for Morocco. Every menu is built from scratch around your event, and matching it to the match day is something we genuinely love doing. **What's the minimum for a World Cup event?** For the private chef experience (up to 15 guests), pricing starts at $7,000. For the Watch Party team experience (up to 40 guests), pricing starts at $12,000. Groceries are billed separately at exact receipt cost — no markup. Both include full setup, cooking, service, and cleanup. **How far in advance should we book?** At least 4–6 weeks ahead for weekend match days. World Cup season has unusually high demand — particularly for knockout rounds. We have a limited number of Thursday–Sunday slots for the entire tournament. Once those are filled, we can't take additional bookings. **Do you handle corporate World Cup events?** Yes — corporate watch parties are one of our most popular requests. We work with Houston companies to create memorable client entertainment and team events around the tournament. For corporate inquiries, reach out directly and we'll discuss the right format and date for your group. ## Tell Me About Your Household Fill out the form and I'll send a personalized proposal within 24 hours.
