Souped-Up

My Private Chef Chris Tong

You’ve got the kitchen of your dreams.

Sub-Zero’s 700 Series. A professional-grade Viking range. A $2,000 espresso machine.

But let’s be frank: The last time you cooked a meal was, um, never. So let chef Chris Tong help you get reacquainted. He’ll swoop into your home and prepare food fit for royalty. Literally. He’s cooked for the Prince of Jordan and Nancy Reagan (to name a few), as well as worked the stoves at Ciel Blue, Riva Restaurant, and The Polo Lounge.

Only the choicest foie gras and the gamiest wild boar will satisfy? No worries. Tong’s hooked up with the best ingredients — whether it’s for an intimate dinner a deux or a big soiree. He’ll even bring extras like flowers, china, and crystal.

And he promises to leave your kitchen in better shape than he found it.

After all, Tong’s favorite dish is a clean one.
