Dine & Laugh

Enjoy a private chef’s tasting experience — with comedy to follow!

If you are in the mood for a fancy restaurant experience and some entertainment with your dessert then this is the option for you. 

I combine an elevated, multi-course tasting menu with an intimate live comedy performance. It’s perfect for bringing people together—whether that’s your team, your friends, or a reason to celebrate something big.

What to Expect:

  • A Thoughtfully Curated, Global Menu
    Together, we’ll build a 5–8 course menu inspired by flavors from around the world—Europe, Japan, Thailand, India, South America, and beyond. Each course is intentional, cohesive, and crafted to surprise and delight.

  • Customized for Your Group
    Every menu is tailored to you! Dietary needs, preferences, and vibe are all taken into account so every guest feels included and taken care of.

  • Comedy at Just the Right Moment
    For smaller groups (8–15 guests), the evening wraps with a 20–30 minute live comedy set after your guests sit down for dessert. It’s light, interactive, and lands right when everyone’s relaxed and ready to laugh.

  • Minimum of 8 guests required

This is the kind of night where people leave full, laughing, and texting about it the next day. You show up—I’ll take care of the rest.

  • "We had such a great time with Chef Tess! She really knows her stuff and made the whole experience super fun. Not only did she share tons of cooking tips and tricks, but she also kept us laughing and engaged the whole time. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned cook, you’ll have a blast and learn a lot. Thanks again, Chef Tess, for an awesome experience!"

  • "The evening with Chef Tess was amazing! 8 adults, 2 children, and she didn’t flinch at the pandemonium! She was very helpful with her teaching techniques as we created a five star dinner. This experience is one the family will talk about for many years to come. Thanks Chef Tess!"
