Nobody publishes their rates
Of every private and personal chef we have listed, exactly one gives any indication of price — and it is a symbol, not a number.

Private chef or personal chef? The Tri-State can't agree either
The two terms are used as if they mean different things. Across the chefs we have listed so far, they mostly don't — and that matters when you are trying to hire one.

The commuter line is the real restaurant map
Almost every restaurant we have listed sits in a town with a station. That is not a coincidence, and it is the most useful filter nobody offers.

The wine question nobody asks when hiring a chef
Most private chefs will cook you a superb dinner and leave the drinking to you. A few can do both — and in Westchester at least one is a certified sommelier.
news
What a restaurant's website won't tell you
We verified every Tri-State restaurant here against its own website. Several publish no address at all — and one is filed in the wrong city by half the internet.

The Tri-State chef map is smaller than you think
Seven chefs, twenty-five possible regions, ten actually served. The market clusters hard around the commuter belt.
