A Day in the Life of a Private Chef!!

Adrienne and Joe pull back the curtain on what a day in the life of a private chef work actually looks like, cutting through the social media romance to expose the real grind of scheduling, travel, client management, and constant prep. In this episode, we also discuss: Navigating a priority-based calendar where you have to meet the client’s needs The daily New York routine, last-minute plan changes, and private chef communication Pantry management, rotating staples, and keeping cellars stocked across multiple homes The reality of cooking on the road, feeding household staff, and training local teams abroad Why the core restaurant rule still applies: get ahead, stay ahead Why relationships, reputation, and professionalism matter just as much as cooking skill Myth-busting private chef life: chef whites, cooking freedom, and how much time is actually spent at the stove Follow the show: @chefscutpod Follow Adrienne: @chefadriennecheatham  Follow Joe: @insta.flamm
