Professional Personal Chef

World Cup runs June 11 – July 19, 2026 · 104 matches · We take ~20 events total — slots fill fast

Not Catering. Not a Restaurant. Something Better.

A team of 4–5 chefs cooks and serves at your location — your private stadium, your rules.

Chefs Cook & Serve Directly

No waitstaff, no middlemen. Our chefs prepare every dish and bring it to your guests personally — the intimacy of a chef's table, at your home.

Match Day Theme Menus

Spanish tapas for Spain. Brazilian churrasco for Brazil. Every menu is designed around the teams playing that night — food becomes part of the show.

Built for 10 to 40 Guests

Small enough to feel personal, large enough for a real party. Our team size is calibrated exactly for this range — not stretched, not underutilized.

You Watch. We Handle Everything.

Setup, cooking, plating, service, cleanup — all of it. You focus on the match and your guests. We take care of the rest from arrival to final dish.

How People Book Us

Four ways Houston hosts are using our team this World Cup season.

Intimate Group (10–20 guests)

A chef's table experience in your own home. Two to three chefs cook and serve a full multi-course menu while your guests watch the match — personal, unhurried, unforgettable.

  • Multi-course custom menu
  • Chef-side plating & storytelling
  • Full cleanup included

Corporate Watch Party (20–40 guests)

Impress clients, reward your team, or entertain partners with a private chef experience at your office or venue. World Cup soccer + restaurant-quality food = the event everyone talks about.

  • Custom corporate menu
  • Professional full-team service
  • Flexible venue setup

Private Residence (up to 40 guests)

Your home becomes the best seat in the house. We arrive, set up, cook everything fresh, serve your guests, and leave your kitchen cleaner than we found it.

  • We work in your kitchen
  • Zero stress for the host
  • Full setup & cleanup

Match Day Theme Menu

Why serve generic food when the match has a story? We design menus inspired by the countries playing that day — Spanish tapas, Brazilian churrasco, Moroccan mezze, and beyond.

  • Menu matched to the match
  • Country-inspired dishes
  • Conversation-starting experience

World Cup Watch Party FAQ

Everything you need to know about booking a private chef team for the World Cup in Houston.

What exactly is included in a private chef watch party experience?
Our team of 4–5 professional chefs arrives at your location, sets up a full kitchen station, cooks everything fresh on-site, and serves your guests directly — no waitstaff needed, no catering trays. You get a live culinary experience while you watch the match. After the event, we handle all cleanup.
How many guests can you accommodate for a World Cup watch party?
We comfortably serve groups of 10 to 40 guests. Our team of 4–5 chefs is calibrated for this range — enough to deliver a genuinely personalized, restaurant-quality experience without the limitations of a large catering crew.
Can you come to my home, office, or rented venue?
Yes — we come to you. Whether it's a River Oaks estate, a Galleria penthouse, a corporate office, or a rented event space 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 or all World Cup games?
All of them. Houston hosts 7 official matches between June 14 and July 4, 2026 — but the World Cup runs 39 days with games every day. We're available Thursday through Sunday throughout the tournament, so you can host a watch party for any match: group stage, knockouts, semifinals, or the Final on July 19.
Why is the price higher during the World Cup than a regular event?
It's simple math. We have 4–5 chefs and a finite number of Thursdays through Sundays between June 11 and July 19 — roughly 20 slots total for the entire tournament. When demand exceeds supply, we prioritize events that make the most sense for our team. The World Cup season is one of those times.
Can you design the menu around the countries playing that day?
Absolutely — and that's actually one of the most popular requests. Imagine serving Spanish tapas and Moroccan mezze the night Spain plays Morocco, or a Brazilian churrasco spread for a South American fixture. Every menu is custom-built for your event, and matching it to the match day narrative is something we genuinely love doing.
How far in advance should I book?
For World Cup dates — as early as possible. We expect high demand, particularly for weekend matches and the later knockout rounds. We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks ahead. If you have a specific date in mind, reach out now and we'll confirm availability.
What's the minimum spend for a World Cup watch party event?
Our minimum event fee during the World Cup season is $12,000. This covers the full chef team, equipment, service, and cleanup. Groceries are billed separately as a reimbursement at exact receipt cost — no markup, ever. The final grocery amount depends on your menu and guest count, and we'll give you a clear estimate upfront.
