A private chef has one client with whom arrangements have been made to provide a number of meals during certain days of the week, such as lunch and dinner from Monday through Friday. Private chefs cook, plate, and serve dishes, as The Dining Alternative does, but do not necessarily provide special occasion dining. Private chefs are for those who do not wish to provide meals for themselves. Just as you would not dine at your favorite restaurant every day of the week, you would not enlist the services of The Dining Alternative every day of the week.
