The DTLA Dinner Club has grown over the last 10 years and is now proud to feature exclusively professional chefs! Here's some of our basic info -
- You must have professional experience to apply
- You will be cooking for 30 guests
- Dinners always take place on Wednesday nights
- You can have all day at the loft for prep
- Prep in advance in a professional environment is highly recommended
- You will definitely need help (most chefs come with 3-5 assistants)
- You will be cooking in a home kitchen but we do try and provide as much of the equipment that you will need
- All plates, cups and silverware will be provided (we have multiple plating options to choose from)
- Most chefs cook between 4-7 courses
- You are not responsible for cleaning after the event
- You will plate but guests will handle their own service and bussing
- All ingredient costs will be covered
- Unfortunately, since guests attend for free and there is no monetary component to Dinner Club, we can't afford to compensate chefs or their staff beyond ingredient costs
- There is no limit to allowed ingredient spending
- There are no food accommodations at Dinner Club (you do not have to make vegan/vegetarian options etc.)
- Chefs have 100% total control over the menu
- We will provide a photographer who usually shoots 400+ images, of which you will be given to use however you like
- We will promote you and any project you're working on in our email blasts, on our website and on social media
