Private Chef
Some of the most memorable meals happen not in restaurants but around your own table, on the deck of a boat, or under the open sky at a waterfront property. At Teal, our private chef program brings the full restaurant experience directly to you — a dedicated chef, a custom menu, and an unforgettable dining experience designed entirely around your vision.
​
From intimate anniversary dinners and holiday feasts to cooking classes, weekly meal prep, and yacht charters, our private chefs are experienced, creative, and deeply passionate about the art of great food. Whether you are hosting on Long Island, in the Hamptons, on the North Fork, or anywhere in between, Teal brings the talent, the ingredients, and the experience to make every meal extraordinary.
