As a restaurant groupie I am always the first to check out that hot new spot, as I closely follow the latest buzz and every fresh morsel within the foodie world. But sometimes I wish I could have that culinary experience without having to actually leave my home, where that amazing chef will come to me. Now you can have your cake and eat it too- literally- thanks to Kitchit, a unique bespoke dining online service whose mission is to create joy with food by bringing the restaurant experience to you. Founded last year in San Francisco by Brendan Marshall- already a member of the Forbes 30 under 30 club- along with George Tang and Ian Ferguson, who all met while getting their MBA’s at Stanford, Kitchit aims to reinvent the private dinner party by offering 4-star dinners, casual meals, cooking lessons, cocktail parties and large events to the chef-obsessed foodies who like to spend quality time with friends in the privacy of their own home… outside the kitchen.
A hand-picked group of talented chefs who range from well known Michelin-starred executive chefs to celebrity chefs, as well as up and coming restaurant and private chefs, all create customized and memorable soirees that include services like waitstaff, bartenders, rentals, flowers and more if needed. A concierge team makes booking even easier by coordinating the simplest or most extravagant dinner party, where all you need to fret about is your seating arrangement- which can be even trickier than preparing the actual meal. Kitchit is also in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago- with plans to expand to other major cities- and has about 250 chefs on its roster from restaurants including NYC’s ABC Kitchen, SF’s Saison and LA’s Providence, as well as others who are professional caterers, cookbook authors, and even former Top Chef contestants. By giving chefs a platform to go beyond the walls of a restaurant, foodie fanatics can now have effortless entertainment in their own home instead of waiting two weeks to get that coveted seat inside that chef’s home. www.kitchit.com
