Loading this week's menu...
How pricing works: A flat $275 Private Chef Fee covers up to 10 meals. Additional meals are $20 each, with volume discounts starting at 16 meals. Your groceries are a flat $125 a week, billed separately as a reimbursement; it's added to your invoice, not included in the chef fee. Five premium cuts (ribeye, filet, lamb chops) are included each week; each one past five adds $5. The macro plan's groceries are $150 a week for its larger portions. Your menu shows the total before you confirm. You're booking a private chef, not paying by the box. The Royal Ladder: Every week you order climbs the Royal Ladder: bonus meals at weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12, then every fourth week after that, and at week 52 the Royal Anniversary Week, a menu written around your favorites from the year with the chef fee with our compliments (groceries and tax as always). Skipped weeks pause your count; they never reset it.

Frequently Asked

Questions, Answered

What's included in meal prep service?

Each meal is custom-prepared, individually portioned, labeled with reheating instructions, and delivered fresh. Built around your dietary preferences, with weighed macros on the macro plan. Grocery reimbursement covers ingredients, containers, and delivery.

How far in advance do I need to book?

Weekly meal prep can usually start within a week of consultation. Private dinners book up faster — we recommend 2–4 weeks notice for events, and 4–8 weeks for larger gatherings or holidays.

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, halal, and any allergy is fully accommodated. We take food safety seriously — every CFR chef is ServSafe Certified.

What areas do you service?

We serve Chicago and the suburbs, including Naperville, Oak Park, Hinsdale and the North Shore. Travel beyond 30 miles may incur a small additional fee.

Do I pay a deposit?

To secure your booking, a 50% deposit is collected on a secure Stripe checkout page, with the balance due at delivery or the day of your event. Your deposit is applied directly to your final total.

How accurate are the macros?

Standard meal prep doesn't come with macros: your menu and labels skip the numbers, so nobody is guessing. On the macro plan, every portion is weighed to your own calorie and macro targets, and each label prints the numbers for that container. It's a guide for everyday eating and training, not for medical or clinical use.

What if I need to reschedule?

Meal prep can be paused or rescheduled with 24-hour notice. Private events can be moved up to 48 hours before service at no charge. We're flexible — life happens.
