Private Chef in San Diego
Home base. Cooking across the city core — downtown, Hillcrest, North Park, Mission Hills, Point Loma, and the historic neighborhoods that make San Diego feel like San Diego.
San Diego is where I shop, cook, and live. The relationships I’ve built with local markets, fishmongers, and farms shape every menu — what arrives at your table started somewhere I trust.
San Diego is home base, so the sourcing is personal. I shop the Little Italy Mercato and the Hillcrest farmers’ market, pull seafood from the harbor, and build each menu around whatever is best that morning. I cook everywhere from downtown lofts and North Park bungalows to view homes in Mission Hills — relaxed hosts who still want restaurant-level food. Wherever your table is, I shop close, arrive early, and leave the kitchen spotless.
No travel fees within the city limits. Same-day shopping at the closest market on the route to your home. Set up, served, cleaned — you stay in the moment.
