Many times Celebrity Chefs have a “non-profit” rate. Call or email us your request. Even when a chef has a discounted rate you shouldn’t expect it to be much beyond 10-15% of their published rate card.

Most Celebrity Chefs will but in a rare instance some won’t but they will describe what their sous chef is doing. Please request more info on any of the talent you’re interested in.

We see it time and time again. Celebrity chefs are the kings and queens of lifestyle coupled with pop culture. Food and cooking has become a massive industry for consumers and celebrity chefs drive awareness and interest.
