Private Chefs in Houston, TX
10 chefs serving the area · from $50/guest
Houston is a tough city to cook for because people here already eat well. Brisket is expected. So is Tex-Mex, which in Houston means fajitas, queso and enchiladas with chili gravy. Then there's the Gulf: Galveston Bay oysters, redfish, and shrimp bought straight off the boats in Seabrook. From January into early summer there's crawfish too, often done Viet-Cajun style with garlic butter and lemongrass, the way it's served along Bellaire Boulevard.
The metro is huge, so distance matters more than in most cities. A chef based in The Woodlands may not want to drive to Pearland on a Friday night. Every chef listed below covers central Houston. If you're in Katy, Sugar Land or Kingwood, check the service area on the listing before you send a request.
Requests run from a quiet dinner for two in the Heights to a crawfish boil for forty in a backyard in Memorial. From May to September, plan on eating inside. October through April is the time for a long table outdoors.
