Private Chef for Airbnb & Vacation Rentals
Welcome dinners, brunches and multi-day meal plans cooked in your rental kitchen, so your group spends the trip together instead of in line for a table.
Make the rental feel like a retreat
Group trips are about time together. Family reunions, milestone birthdays, friend getaways and guys’ or girls’ weekends often land in a big rental house in Nashville or out in the Middle Tennessee hills. The kitchen is there, but nobody wants to spend the trip shopping, cooking and doing dishes.
I cook in your rental kitchen and take care of the whole meal: shopping, cooking, serving and cleanup. Book a single welcome dinner for the night everyone arrives, or plan several meals across the stay. One real client menu I built, Four Days Around the Table, ran from a welcome board on arrival through a backyard BBQ lunch, a hibachi night, a taco lunch, an Italian evening and a farewell breakfast.
Rental kitchens vary, so I plan menus that work in the space you have, from plated dinners to family-style spreads and buffets. On a property with a big deck or yard, a hibachi-style night or a wood-fired pizza experience turns dinner into the main event.
Mixed groups are normal. Kids, grandparents, gluten-free or dairy-free guests and picky eaters can all be planned for. Share dietary needs when you book and every meal is built around them.
Client reviews regularly mention the same thing: they got to relax and enjoy their family instead of worrying about who was cooking or what the next meal was going to be. Check your dates on Food Fire Knives as soon as your rental is booked.

Can you cook in an Airbnb or vacation rental kitchen?
Yes. Chef Joe cooks in rental homes and Airbnbs across Nashville and Middle Tennessee and plans menus that work in the kitchen you have.
Can you cook several meals during our stay?
Yes. Book a single dinner or several meals across the trip. A real example is the Four Days Around the Table menu, which covered arrival through a farewell breakfast.
Do you clean up afterward?
Yes. Shopping, cooking, serving and kitchen cleanup are part of the experience.
Can you handle allergies and dietary needs?
Yes. Every menu can be tweaked to fit your guests, including dietary restrictions and allergies. Share them when you book so the menu is built around them.
