FREQUENTLY ASKED
Every question here comes from a real conversation with a real household considering Chef Kaylee. Read on for the honest answers, or skip straight to a consultation call if you already know this is the standard you've been looking for.
Athletes are our specialty, not our exclusivity. We built our standard around the demands of that world — precision, consistency, refined nutrition on a real schedule — and it turns out that standard is exactly what a lot of corporate executives are looking for, too. If you want food built entirely around your household and your life, you belong at our table.
Not quite, and that's by design. You're not responsible for W-2 payroll, health benefits, or a mandatory trial fee; a trial is available if you'd like one, entirely by choice. For professional athletes, we build an in-season schedule up to a year in advance, with our Elite Private Chefs on rotation for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
For corporate executives and households booking a dinner or hosted event, scheduling is far more occasional, with reservations accepted up to just a couple of days out. Once your schedule or event is confirmed, our chef or chef team completes the engagement in full, and you're invoiced after service.
Elite is a standard we defined, and one every chef on our team works toward.
We bring on junior private chefs and private chefs, and with time, experience, and continued study, each has a real path to reach the elite level. It's not a title handed out; it's earned through proven time in ultra-high-net-worth homes and select professional athlete households, paired with real nutrition training — both on the job, working alongside sports dietitian teams, and in the books, through certifications like NASM nutrition.
That combination is what separates a private chef from an elite one: a heightened specialty for cooking toward performance, built for the way an athlete's body actually works
Chef Kaylee has spent years handpicking and training an elite team of chefs to meet her exact standard, so every engagement reflects that same level of excellence, not just the ones she personally cooks.
She still cooks in our clients’ homes, on the same rotation as every chef on our team. That rotation protects a healthy balance for each of us, Chef Kaylee included, and it’s how we keep cooking at our best, week after week. Her long-term vision is to build a legacy of chefs who carry that standard forward long after she’s stepped out of the kitchen.
Wherever you land with us, the standard doesn’t change.
Nutrition sits at the center of everything we cook. Members of our team hold a NASM nutrition certification and bring years of experience working alongside professional athletes and their sports dietitian teams, so every menu starts from real, applied knowledge of how food fuels performance.
For an even deeper level of guidance, Ashley Gomes, Senior Director of Integrative Health + Nutrition at JAG Consulting, oversees nutrition profiles for our VIP clients. If that level of personalized oversight interests you, ask about it on your consultation call.
At our core, Chef Kaylee is a private chef and meal-prep service — that will never change. Lifestyle is our newest offering, extending that same standard of care and discretion into the rest of your home, starting with housekeeping and private staffing.
It's not a shift in what we are; it's the same trust you already have in your kitchen, extended a little further.
Chef Kaylee is based in Cleveland, Ohio and serves professional athletes and executives nationally.
Discretion is a standard, not a courtesy. We do not name clients, publish identifying details, or make an exception for high-profile households. Our team operates under strict privacy protocol from the first consultation onward.
Every relationship begins with a consultation call with the founder, Chef Kaylee. It's a real conversation, not a sales pitch — we want to understand your household, your goals, and how you actually eat before a single menu is written.
