Father's Day Private Chef Dinner
Steaks on the Grill or a Coursed Dinner — Dad Doesn't Lift a Tongs
Father's Day dinner at home — a proper steak dinner, a full backyard spread, or a coursed menu, cooked by a chef while you actually spend the day with Dad. Father's Day carries the holiday rate of $168.75 per person against an eight-guest minimum, so a booking starts at $1,350 before groceries.
Father's Day dinners are cooked across South Jersey, Philadelphia and the Main Line, the Jersey Shore, North and Central Jersey, and Myrtle Beach.
Father's Day 2027 is Sunday, June 20. Book by early June. Grilling season weekends fill fast — reserve the date before the headcount is final.
The Steakhouse Comes to Him
Aged steaks cooked to order for each guest, proper sides, no fixed menu and no rushing the table. The whole steakhouse experience at his house, for less than the same table would cost downtown.
He Doesn't Touch the Grill
On Father's Day the grill is usually still Dad's job. Not this year. The chef takes the tongs, the timing and the cleanup — Dad keeps the chair and the drink.
Father's Day Pricing
Father's Day carries the 35% major-holiday premium: $168.75 per person, against an eight-guest minimum, which puts a booking at $1,350 before groceries and fees. That covers the full meal cooked on site and served at your table, with full cleanup. Groceries are billed at cost and a $100 travel fee applies 25 or more miles from the serving base. See the full pricing breakdown for every service and fee.
How the Day Runs
The chef arrives ahead of service and takes over the cooking entirely — including the grill, which is usually Dad's post. Steaks are cooked to order for each guest, sides land together, and the grill and kitchen are cleaned before the chef leaves.
The same service runs for Mother's Day brunch and as a summer July 4th BBQ. For every holiday on the calendar, see the holiday private chef page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Book Father's Day Dinner Chef With Chef Matts
Bringing a chef into your home should feel calm, considered, and personal — not transactional. Every booking with Chef Matts Culinary Creations starts with a real conversation about your household: how many people you're feeding, the dietary preferences and restrictions involved, the kitchen we'll be working in, and the kind of experience you want to create. From there, Chef Matt builds a custom menu and confirms every detail in writing well before the date.
The service itself is fully turnkey. We handle planning, seasonal sourcing, in-home cooking, plating or portioning, and a complete kitchen cleanup before we leave. With more than eighteen years in professional kitchens — including time as an executive chef by age twenty-two and ongoing membership in the United States Personal Chef Association — Chef Matt brings restaurant-level technique into homes across South Jersey, the Jersey Shore, the Philadelphia Main Line, and South Carolina's Grand Strand.
