How It Works

Exquisite Culinary Experiences, Tailored Just for You

Hosting a memorable dinner party, family gathering, or special celebration shouldn’t mean hours of planning, shopping, cooking, and cleaning. With Culinary Collective ATL, Chef Rob handles everything—so you can relax, connect with your guests, and savor every moment.

Step 1:

Book Your Experience

It all starts with a simple conversation. Reach out through our website, give us a call, or send an email. We’ll discuss your event—the date, number of guests, any dietary needs, and your vision for the evening. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for four or a lively gathering of twenty, we tailor every detail to you.

What to expect:

  • A quick consultation (phone, video, email or text)
  • Discussion of your preferences, allergies, and favorite cuisines
  • Flexible scheduling to fit your calendar

Step 2:

Custom Menu Creation

No two events are the same—and neither are our menus. Chef Rob personally crafts a custom menu just for you, drawing on 45 years of culinary expertise and a passion for global flavors. From steakhouse classics to Asian-inspired dishes, Italian feasts to Southwest favorites, every menu is written with your tastes and dietary needs in mind.

What’s included:

  • Personalized menu with detailed descriptions
  • Accommodations for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and other dietary restrictions
  • Unlimited revisions up to 5 days before your event

Step 4:

Chef Rob Arrives—Fully Equipped

On the day of your event, Chef Rob arrives at your home with everything needed to prepare a restaurant-quality meal 1 to 2 Hours before service time: professional-grade cookware, utensils, prep tools, and serving equipment. All we need from you is access to your stove, oven, and a bit of counter space.

What Chef Rob brings:

  • Pots, pans, knives, and specialty tools
  • Serving platters and presentation essentials
  • All ingredients, prepped and ready to cook

What you provide:

  • A working stove and oven
  • Counter space for prep
  • A welcoming kitchen (we’ll take care of the rest!)

Step 3:

We Handle the Shopping

Once your menu is finalized, Chef Rob sources the freshest, highest-quality ingredients from local farmers markets, Whole Foods, Sprouts, and specialty stores. You don’t lift a finger no grocery lists, no crowded aisles, no last-minute dashes to the store.

Our sourcing promise:

  • Premium, seasonal ingredients
  • Support for local farmers and purveyors
  • All shopping completed before your event day

Step 5:

A Culinary Experience Unfolds

While you mingle with your guests, Chef Rob transforms your kitchen into a stage for culinary creativity. Each course is prepared fresh, plated with care, and served at the perfect moment. Whether it’s a multi-course tasting menu or a relaxed family-style feast, the experience is seamless and stress-free.

The experience includes:

  • On-site cooking and plating
  • Personalized service and attention to detail
  • Flexible pacing to match your evening’s flow

Step 6:

We Leave Your Kitchen Spotless

Here’s the best part: when the last plate is served, Chef Rob cleans up—completely. Pots, pans, counters, stovetop—everything is washed, wiped, and put away. You’ll never know we were there (except for the unforgettable meal and happy guests).

Our clean-up guarantee:

  • All cookware and utensils washed and packed
  • Counters, stovetop, and sink cleaned
  • Kitchen left as clean (or cleaner!) than we found it
