About
I’m Chef Samuel, a private chef based in NYC specializing in elevated in-home dining experiences. My work is centered around refined, chef-curated menus using high-quality ingredients, with a focus on clean presentation and seamless execution. From intimate multi-course tastings to elegant family-style dinners and signature buffet experiences, each event is designed to feel intentional, polished, and effortless for the host. I don’t offer standard catering — I create a complete dining experience where everything is handled from start to finish, allowing you to enjoy your event without the stress. If you’re looking for a premium, restaurant-level experience brought into your home, I’d be happy to create something special for you. My goal is simple — to make your event feel elevated, memorable, and completely taken care of.

Hired chef Samuel for a small casual get together for my husband’s birthday. I wanted just fun finger food and chef Samuel was responsive and delivered! The food provided by the chef was tasty and was a great addition! He even gave extra aioli for the sliders. He delivered on time, brought the food to our apartment and even gave instructions for keeping it fresh and for serving them. Great experience all around.

We hired “Elevate” with chef Samuel to come do a special dinner event for a party of 16. Among friends and work colleagues. Everything was amazing, the food did not only looked top notch but it was also delicious. Very nice guy, super professional and friendly a little shy seems at first but he’s cooking definitely rocks. Since then I’ve use him for other occasions as our chef of trust. Cause it’s always a fantastic experience! It’s like going to one of those fancy restaurants but in your home!! Would definitely recommend!! It’s always a unique experience when he’s in our kitchen.
