Proposal Dinner
Chicago.

A proposal dinner is not a meal. It is a performance in which every element — the lighting, the pacing, the food, the service — either adds to the moment or subtracts from it. A private chef controls more of those variables than any restaurant can.

Your chef plans the menu around the moment you've chosen. Some clients propose between courses; others after dessert. Tell your chef the timing and they'll structure the evening to build towards it — the pacing of courses, when to clear, when to give you space. A champagne service can be arranged to arrive at exactly the right instant.

The advantage of a private setting is control. There is no ambient noise, no other table's celebration, no waiter hovering. Just the two of you, a chef working quietly in the kitchen, and an evening built around one moment.
