You're fabulous. You love to throw dinner parties in your beautiful abode. But wait…you stress over what to cook for all your friends. And you never get to enjoy your own parties. Ugh, then you have to clean up after everyone leaves and you're half in the bag when your husband says, "Let's do it tomorrow." Now, your dinner party idea completely sucks. Catering every dinner party isn't an option but what if hiring a private chef to come to your home is in your future? 

Chicago meet Kitchensurfing. They have saved your dinner party dilemma and possibly that hangover clean up.

Menus are creative and chefs will work to create anything from family-style dinners to dim sum cocktail parties. Having been to a tasting with several chefs, the food was impressive and spans the globe. President, Ben Leventhal say, "For the price of going out to dinner, you can have friends over while a private chef prepares the meal."
