TWO WAYS TO EXPERIENCE SECRETCHEFM
Join an intimate shared table or host a private evening of your own.
The Shared Table
Join a small-group dinner where part of the meal is prepared together.
You’ll take part in key dishes — shaping, assembling, or finishing — while the rest of the evening is hosted and served.
Ideal for individuals, couples, or small groups.
- Interactive and guided, at your own pace
- Travel-inspired menus that change with each event
- Warm, social atmosphere — come solo or with friends
$120 per guest
A multi-course dinner, thoughtfully designed and shared around the table.
Wine is optional — pairing suggestions can be shared ahead of the evening for those who’d like to bring a bottle.
Private Evenings
A fully customized evening, designed around your group and hosted exclusively for you.
A more personal alternative to a traditional night out.
- Tailored menu and format
- Ideal for celebrations, client dinners, or intimate gatherings
- Thoughtfully designed from start to finish
- Pricing varies based on menu and group size.
Wine is optional. I’m happy to suggest bottles that work beautifully with the menu.

About the Experience
The Idea
Each evening is inspired by places I’ve traveled and meals I’ve loved.
It’s built around a curated menu, a small group of guests (typically 8–12), and a shared table.
The goal is simple — to create something personal, relaxed, and a little different from going out.
The Evenings
Designed for a small group, with menus that change and are inspired by a place or idea.
Subtle interactive moments may be part of the experience, but the focus is always on the table.
