Join Our Chefs
CK Chefs is building a selective network of culinary professionals ready to take their careers into private service. Joining isn't automatic.
A CK Chef is more than a name on a roster.
Private service is different from a restaurant. You're entering someone's home. You're responsible for their meals, their preferences, their guests, and their experience.
You have to know how to cook — but you also need to know how to listen, communicate, adapt, anticipate, and hold discretion. That's what we look for.
You don't need decades of private chef experience. You do need to demonstrate potential, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to the craft.
Who We're Looking For
We're especially interested in emerging talent with the skill, ambition, and desire to grow.
