Personal chef service in Brentwood, TN
The two are booked independently. A private dinner is a single evening — a table set, courses plated, the kitchen cleaned before you'd think to ask. Catering is built for the bigger room, with the same sourcing and the same standard behind it.
A plated dinner needs a working oven, counter space to stage courses, and a table that seats your group — nothing beyond that. Serving outdoors on a patio or pool deck works too; just say so when you inquire so service and timing are planned around it.
Preset seated dinners are fully inclusive: food, plates and silverware, a dedicated table server, course service and clearing, and kitchen cleanup. The Southern Table is four courses at $125 per guest ($750 event minimum); FABLE · Wild South is a five-course tasting menu at $175 per guest ($900 event minimum); The Butcher's Table is $145, The Tavern Table $110 and After Hours $95 per guest ($750 event minimum). Brentwood is in the core Middle Tennessee area, so there is no travel fee.
If you host often, both can run under one relationship — one intake for allergies and preferences, drawn on for every date you book.

Brentwood — frequently asked
What's the difference between a private dinner and catering?
A private dinner is plated and served course by course for up to 30 guests. Catering is buffet service built for a larger room, up to 250 guests. They're priced separately, though the same household can book both.
Can you host a larger event in Brentwood, like a graduation or holiday dinner?
Yes. The Southern Table scales to larger seated or buffet-style gatherings — reach out with a guest count and date and it can be scoped from there.
