Premium Ingredients. Exceptional Service.
I provide an all-inclusive service, ordering all food and supplies from excellent, known, and dependable resources as well as Union Square farmers market and local Hampton farms. Orchestrating delivery; and, when needed for larger gatherings, additional staff to ensure that the service is gracious, timely, and elegant.

Culinary Mastery Shaped by the Best.
Prior to becoming a private chef, I held positions of Chef de Cuisine in some of the most noteworthy restaurants in the US.

Recommendations That Speak for Themselves.
New York City & Amagansett
Sam Fox, our private chef, first started working for me and my family in early 2019, prepping five meals a week for my family of four. Because of our busy schedules, it has been a luxury and a pleasure to enjoy a lovely meal –prepared expertly by Sam, who provides clear cooking instructions that allow me to complete his delicious meals in minimal time. Always attentive to our dietary requirements (I have a gluten allergy), Sam has worked closely with me to develop creative menus and has handled all of the ordering from the finest butchers, cheese shops, and farmers market in NYC. In addition, Sam has orchestrated some very special formal and informal dinner parties, including colorful cocktail hours. (Sam’s cooking for our annual Robert Burns Supper has become a family tradition.) Sam flawlessly handles menu planning, arranging for and managing additional serving help, cooking and elegant plating of the food. More than a few of our friends have been so impressed that they, too, have used Sam for dinner parties. I highly recommend Sam as a private chef who is prompt, clean, organized and works quickly. And importantly, he is respectful and considerate, and we have always been completely comfortable to have Sam in our home.

Sam has cooked at my home for my family, business associates and friends over the past 6 years. He has created amazing dinners for business occasions and holidays, including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Sam has been gracious and extremely easy to work with. His food is exquisite and his etiquette appropriate for whatever the situation may be. I highly recommend him as a private chef. He is prompt, responsive and elegant in every way. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions.

I highly recommend him as a private chef, knowing he is prompt, skilled and elegant. I know Sam will satisfy your every expectation.
