<\/div>
APPLiCATIONS ARE BEING CONSIDERED FOR NYC -BASED CHEFS ONLY - THIS IS A BRIGHT LINE REQUIREMENT.

<\/div>
THIS ROLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TITLED "MIAMI PRIVATE CHEF" - NO RE -APPLICATIONS, PLEASE.<\/b>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
Our client is seeking a highly skilled Private Chef based in New York City to support a vibrant household with frequent travel to Miami. This role requires someone who combines executive -level precision<\/b><\/u> with the ability to bring calm, thoughtful energy into the heart of a busy home.
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/p>
This is not just a cooking job — far from it. It’s a vital, trusted role for someone who approaches food, systems, and service with unwavering attention to detail, a warm, can -do attitude, and the kind of administrative rigor more often seen in top -tier professional kitchens; Michelin experience is a plus.
<\/p>
Meals are clean, nourishing, and delicious — designed around the family’s preferences and a significant list of dietary requirements; with particular care given to strict allergy protocols. While the culinary style is straightforward, the standards are uncompromising. This is not a role for a chef who "can deal with" restrictions<\/u><\/b> - it's a role for someone who savors the opportunity to puzzle together exacting menus using top -notch admin skills and abundant creativity. Consider this before applying.
