Personal Chef Service (how it works)

Fine Dining Solutions Personal Chef Services take the worry out of cooking 7 nights a week. Each meal is customized according to your palate and dietary restrictions and only made from the freshest and highest quality seasonal ingredients.

Through a personal assessment/kitchen inspection, we'll learn all your food likes, dislikes, eating and cooking preferences to develop your Fine Dining Solutions Menu Proposal, essentially a personalized "Menu" from which to choose your weekly dishes. The proposal is updated semi-monthly and cleansed seasonally based on ingredient availability – but there is always a minimum of 40 entrees to choose from for each cook date. Entrees are generally designed around a protein with two sides and a sauce and may include hor d'oeuvres or an appetizer. To get a better idea of the types of dishes that we propose to our clients, please visit our fall, winter, spring or summer menu pages – a yearly highlight of our popular client dishes.

For all of our chef services, we shop at only the best grocery and small market purveyors in the DC metro area – Balducci's, Whole Foods, Mom: My Organic Market, M. Slavin & Son's and a few select small markets. Similar to a farm-to-table relationship, we have cultivated a grocer-to-client relationship. Our relationships with store managers, produce managers and meat managers will help bring you the best ingredients and products that each store carries.

Fine Dining Solutions offers an array of personal chef services for every lifestyle. Some of our more popular personal chef packages are listed below. If you have any questions about our personal chef services or our services in general, please don’t hesitate to call (703-869-1242) or email us today
