Hi, I’m Chef Taylor.
Taylor Hancher

I create memorable dining experiences by cooking with fresh local ingredients and bold, globally inspired flavors.

I turn fresh, local ingredients into meals you’ll remember.

I bring over 10 years of industry experience, with a deep focus on fresh local ingredients. I fully explore the city I’m in to find the best product available, then I transform it into something truly memorable.

I naturally gravitate toward Mexican and Asian flavors, and I’m always open to learning the cuisine of new cultures so every experience can feel personal, thoughtful, and new.

I never stop experimenting.

A craft shaped at home and refined through culinary school

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 141 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Local, Italian, Mediterranean, Latin American and Seafood/Fish. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in United States?

To book me in United States, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
