San Francisco Bay Area personal chef Lucas Lovelace seeks to recreate the restaurant experience within your home, with servers pouring wine, clearing plates, and leaving your kitchen spotless with his business LL Chef Services.
Lucas Lovelace began working restaurants at age 16, developing a passion for food before attending Le Cordon Bleu California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. He secured an extern position at the prestigious Restaurant Oceana in New York City which increased his exposure to world class chefs.
Lucas spent the next six years refining his craft in the culinary epicenter of the world, working for one, two, and three Michelin-star restaurants before helping to run the iconic Oak Room restaurant located at the Plaza Hotel.
Now back in the San Francisco Bay Area, Lucas has spent the last several years primarily working as a private chef for billionaires. “What I want to do is take that experience and bring it to everyone,” says Lucas.
Launched in 2018, LL Chef Services seeks to recreate the restaurant experience within your home offering personal chef services for at-home dinner parties. Lucas and his team offers three, four, and five course dinner options as well as wine pairings, sommelier experiences, live painting, and cooking lessons. “Growth for our company has been steadily increasing, to the point that now we’re booked to about two months in advance,” says Lucas.
Below outlines a Q&A session with Lucas Lovelace, owner of LL Chef Services:
What do you find most fulfilling about the dinner party experience you provide?
Lucas Lovelace: “The most fulfilling aspect from serving private dinner parties is sharing in all of these really special, intimate moments that people are experiencing together. Food is such a great thing because it unites like many things don’t, so the pressure is on us to create food as special as the events we’re cooking for.”
What’s the goal with your business in the next 3-5 years?
Lucas Lovelace: “Our business goal for the next 3-5 years is to continue to grow and expand to where we are able to bring the restaurant experience to even more people, bringing people value and comfort to where they can experience a special meal without even having to leave their homes.”
Why would you encourage people to try LL Chef Services for their next dinner party?
Lucas Lovelace: “One of the goals we have is to exceed our client’s expectations. We really take pride in making sure that the food is as delicious as it is beautiful!”
