Amazing chefs are the backbone of The DTLA Dinner Club Foundation. If you would like to join over 100 talented chefs who have volunteered their time, we would be honored to have you. Here are the basics -
- 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
