NYC-BASED TRAVEL CHEF – ROLE IS ON HOLD UNTIL LABOR DAY
About The Position
Our client is seeking a Travel Chef to work within a team of Chefs to support a private household. With frequent travel to Miami, this is a structured, independent position for a chef who takes complete ownership of the kitchen — including planning, sourcing, execution, and organization and adherence to culinary guidelines. Discretion is fundamental. The chef will work in a private, high-trust environment with regular family interaction and must operate with sound judgment, strong boundaries, and complete confidentiality at all times. The role is manageable and runs smoothly once the chef is fully up to speed on the family’s preferences and dietary protocols. The expectation is consistency and reliability day to day. The food is clean, high-quality, and consistent rather than overly complex. There is a defined set of dietary requirements, including strict allergy protocols, which must be followed precisely.
