First Day with New Clients as a Private Chef in Las Vegas

Starting with a new family today, cooking Monday - Thursday, lunch and dinner with grab and go breakfast options.

[@MH_6160]

This client has a much more advanced menu compared to the last one… Really liked hearing the family interact with you, they sound really nice.

[@CulinaryMisfits]

😅

[@ruthiemay423]

How advanced could it be when you get Chicken twice in one day??? 😮

[@patriciabrewer489]

Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable. I find it quite fascinating to get a behind-the-scenes look at what is involved in being a personal chef. Please keep the videos coming!

[@DblOlemon]

Having cooked in so many homes, it would be great to get your thoughts on an ideal kitchen layout as well as your opinion on the various brands/models of fridges, ovens, etc. Your "dream kitchen" with space and money as no object would be very interesting to hear about.

[@jenlord4240]

home cook trying to learn as much as i can and reach as high on the skill curve as economically possible for me. Love your personality and direction!

[@jenlord4240]

[@CulinaryMisfits]

Best of luck on your journey

[@carolinebarnett9848]

​@@CulinaryMisfitsyou look so handsome with them glasses.

[@Yardley191]

Vegas local here, just wanted to say great video and keep up the great work. Hope to see this channel grow even more!

[@kencase2179]

Sounds like a great family! Looking forward to more vlogs with this family and the meals you prepare.

[@newaccount091]

I REALLY like your personality! Wish I could eat your food!! Looks delicious!! Really interesting seeing your work world as a private chef!

[@L-ff5kw]

Those zucchini’s rolls look amazing… and the salad you described sounded so good…. Yum

[@mayasone]

I liked the video, it was a very chill 😃. I'm also enjoying this new client you got, very good vibes all around so far ☺

[@chrissackinger9052]

Really happy to find this channel the other day. Binged a few days and loved picking up tips to help this household cook. Great content and fun watching!!

[@Kazacks9602]

I did the same thing, binge watched all the episodes.😊

[@CulinaryMisfits]

I appreciate it!

[@tacomapappas]

Good video, enjoyed seeing your first meal with a new client. Now interested to see the relationship evolve. Would love to see more of the menu building process, is there a questionnaire for the client for diet needs etc. Thanks for the content!

[@MarySklodowski]

Thanks for the longer video Eric, I would give you a raise for the roasted chicken dish ❤

[@yulnestor]

Congratulations on the new client, keep up the great work, love your channel, I just hit the Subscribe button. Cheers!!!

[@jessewade9158]

Good to see you back and found something more chill look forward to the next video

[@SalamanderDancer]

I love oats (overnight or fresh) with an acidic, tangy yogurt. Great combination, especially with fresh or dried fruit, ginger, cinnamon, a bit of honey.

[@markreynolds9135]

Don’t forget prunes to make you 💩 even more.

[@Bill-fk9cq]

Thank you for all your amazing content. It's quite inspiring for someone like me, at my age. Been cooking since 1994, various menus, diverse cuisines, few Sous positions, as well as kitchen management. Although, I never went to culinary school, nor have I an special accolades to speak of, to me. So, as much as I would " think" I'd love to emulate you, I am honest with myself to know . That a/ I don't have the proper resume to promote myself and 2/ I really just don't have the true personality that comes with said responsibilities. Again, I do much appreciate the content, as well as your calming demeanor! Cheers

[@whitelilly35]

I appreciate you too,… and your videos 🥰❤️🥰

[@yvonnebirch6026]

Great video. The food looks delicious ! You seem so comfortable wherever you go. It is relaxing and inspiring to watch your video’s ❤❤

[@1yamawai1]

It’s my first day…I’m gonna need a raise. 🤣🏆

[@SaintsandSushi]

Awesome video as always...You had me at prosciutto-wrapped zucchini bites and the rice as side dish for dinner. I'm a vegas local and I'm enjoying seeing how other locals eat at home.

[@judyhathcoat7853]

Love your channel! You are talented and charming and an all around feel good guy. Keep up the good work!

[@ewensstomach]

What a great channel. I just stumbled on it as it came up on channels I may like. I will be starting from the beginning to see how you progressed to this point. Very relaxing voice and approach to cooking for a family that is not yours. Looking forward to the menu for this new family.

[@bird7464]

I wish you could show us more in detail how you cook meals, appetizers, how to make something with receipt/ingredients etc

[@DucatiQueen]

Such a likable guy . I would love to hire him for a , let’s say BBQ , but I would be so embarrassed of my modest home which isn’t exactly cleaned every day to resemble a …operating room 😬

[@Setashi]

Great video as always, Eric. Keep it up!

[@mendes125]

Shoutout from Portugal!

[@mapsinbooks3022]

Love your videos! Would you ever consider posting weekly menus or sample menus? I'm always so in need of inspiration! 💙

[@SongSparrow-wf2is]

the zucchini rolls and the chicken roast look so good🌷awesome videos🌷

[@vickyburton2434]

I was a personal chef for four families in New Jersey. My situation was a little different since I only had to cook dinners and had everything prepared when they arrived and cleaned the next morning. It is a lot of work. You are doing an amazing job.😃

[@christyeckert3115]

Just found your channel and love it. I love to cook always wanted to goto culinary school.

[@t.shaneholock693]

Thanks for the idea of Overnight Oats, it's make the morning so easy and very filling with smaller portions, I wouldn't have discovered it if you didn't post this video

[@mochab2495]

Maybe you could do a cook with me series or make it part of your videos? Just some recipe ideas for us as you cook for you clients.

[@mariagillinson8527]

I like yogurt salad… it’s yogurt, grated cucumber (squeeze water out!) grated on fine garlic to taste salt and pepper. It’s nicer next day as the garlic infuses. Great with meatballs on a bed of rice… yummy!

[@MichelleThole-m5d]

Yum. Dinner looks delicious

[@Rose-dy5bb]

Another awesome video ❤

[@barbarawolfensberger5836]

fun fact-overnight oats were invented by Dr. Bircher at a Zürich private hospital in the early 1900's as a way of healing arthritis. We include berries, apples, nuts as well. Here it's called Birchermüesli. I don't bother with the overnight aspect-I just add the oats or whatever grain and yoghurt. I really enjoy watching your videos!

[@_introvertlife3692]

Birchermüsli is beste! 🎉

[@halfsourlizard9319]

Totally worth letting them sit overnight, texture is so much nicer.

[@annbellfeinstein]

The zuchini bites look amazing.

[@Alia-rq4nm]

As someone who eats relatively little in a day, I’m astounded how much people can eat.

[@christinamatzen4214]

If you have a chance, I would love the bacon vinaigrette dressing recipe. I used to have a salad at a place in Pismo Beach California that was a spinach salad with a warm bacon vinaigrette and sliced duck breast. Oh man, it was so good.

[@maxineb9598]

Theres a few bacon vinegarette rrcipes online. I recall something on an earlier video about not posting recipes here.

[@angelapadilla4929]

My boyfriend is always snacking, never eating a meal either. He’s a chef as well!

[@reginarebmann7482]

Just discovered your channel. Enjoying it lots. Worked in Summerlin as a nanny years ago. For a great family. Love the area. Is Marianna’s Market still around, love their fruit/juice bar at the entrance. Good luck. 😊

[@mjey1]

As a Vermonter is was cute to see the Vermont goat cheese

[@halfsourlizard9319]

As a vertebrate, it was cute to see another creature with a backbone 🙄

[@Chefbrycemcnabb]

Making my mouth water 💦

[@ChefShaylaMD]

This was great! Love how you talk while prepping and recording; you make it look easy. Im usually hectic, lol

[@turburritos631]

love the videos. id love to transition into just being a private chef !

[@ericwelch]

Question Eric: Do you cook meals as part of the interview process or present a menu of sorts? Because how’d they know they’d themselves like the food you’re cooking beforehand. Thanks!

[@allymissy]

I love ur content and ur so easy on the eyes lol 😉

[@sharongibson1161]

Great food as usual, house looks very beautiful ❤

[@userqwerty-g2y]

enjoyed your shorts videos and now KZbin recomend.yay

[@suziq7875]

Chia or flax seeds need to be ground (milled) to get the benefits our digestive tracts will not break down the seeds you just poop them out Just a little health note

[@centricretro4537]

Do you make an extra portion of each meal for yourself, or do you cook seperately for yourself? When you live in, does it get awkward sometimes when you're hanging out in a common space and the family comes there too? Like, do privacy issues crop up? Great content! Lovely food! I like your narration.

[@NickAltieri]

What app are you using for the shopping?

[@dylanthomas8477]

Excellent video keep it up

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

Working two jobs at once, that is revolutionary.

[@johanna5663]

Try a jam funnel for the oats sometime... no sticky jars, no mess. ;-)

[@NancyRemling]

A lot of people would like to just sit around on someone else’s dime. Shows integrity on your part. 🌺🌺🌺

[@sherriloneil2648]

Would love for you to cook for me. Love what you do for your clients. Good job

[@Za_Poom]

looking forward to next video. keep it up.

[@AbhishekKumar-uq5so]

Man got more appreciation in client house than i usually get in my house

[@Momcircus]

Did not realized I wasn’t subbed till you mentioned in this video! Love all the little details! Do you share any of your recipes? I assume that’s proprietary!

[@lisawright9409]

How do you deal with allergies, cross contamination risks and the availability of ingredients for these allergies? Do you take on clients that have allergies? New to the channel but loving the content and vibe 🌈

[@gingerkirby8208]

I like to layer the oats and fruit, maybe a little greek yogurt in between also. Your food looks delicious!

[@richsdixon]

Hello from London - stumbled across your videos and really enjoy them. Would love to see the recipe for the asian shortrib you did recently.

[@KILLERBOT]

Really love your content brother!! Bring us more videos like this. Love from india 🇮🇳❤❤❤

[@bigcdizzel]

You go through a lot of clients

[@SusanH578]

What a beautiful kitchen to cook in! Is this an athlete?

[@CulinaryMisfits]

Thanks! A lawyer

[@SusanH578]

👍🏻

[@arizonatea3734]

Those zuchini rolls are a sweet idea. Good video 👍

[@andrewalise7170]

Can we get a video on menu building/planning 101?

[@prairietn1]

Great video! Since you asked for questions I have many! During the day do you eat the same meals as the family you cook for? How do these clients find you to hire? How long is a job for you, are these permanent clients or temporary?

[@thesmallscape]

QUESTION: who comes up with menu? Does it vary? Is it a combined effort settling on dietary requirements/ likes/ dislikes? Super duper fun channel!

[@THEFOODDEE]

Love it !!

[@claire1772]

Hi! I love your channel! I have two questions: Do you or would you ever travel with a client to cook for them when they go out of town? And how long do your gigs with clients usually last? Is it a few weeks or many months? Thanks for sharing your life as a personal chef!

[@sohailahmed3193]

Unbox therapy is now a personal chef…. Nice 😂😂

[@CulinaryMisfits]

🍪

[@michelemcbee6684]

Why do you shop at Whole Foods, is it their request, or yours? I ask because of the wealthy friends that I have, they're very frugal and scoff at my pasture-raised chicken and eggs.

[@ZoeYorkWrites]

Farro is a nice grain to try, too! I like it in a greek salad or a roasted veggie salad.

[@sketchyunicornslab]

Love the video. Out of curiosity, which app did you use in the grocery store? I like the organization of it. I enjoy watching your videos. Trying to learn enough to be a private chef for my own family :P Since I grew up never being allowed in the kitched until about 5 years ago. You rock.

[@No1Greyhound]

Friend! The owners family name is engraved on the Cutco Knife set?? 🤫

[@managingmarlys]

I enjoy your videos have you done a video on what to claim on taxes and what not to. The chase card is this from the client for you to use for shopping or yours?

[@jerseattle0722]

I would LOVE to have a personal chef

[@halfsourlizard9319]

Hiring one seems like a better strategy than posting a comment, then...

[@rebeccarosenbaum-b1u]

I laughed, Why we as contractors never have a finished house !

[@millerbeer01]

Ok, question. Do the clients tend to keep a personal chef for a significant period of time, or do they like to change it up, like they are dining at a new restaurant, if that makes sense? Enjoying your videos 🤘🏼

[@lisagraced8112]

Are there ever any tasks that you do in the client’s home that are not related to being their Chef…to help or make something a little easier/better for them and that you haven’t been asked to do?

[@stephen9553]

Love your videos. I would like to see you do lobster and how to plate it.

[@indianmartialartsresearchg9728]

I'm an introvert. And I cook well. I guess I'm a private chef. 😐

[@MariaM-up2he]

I am from Spain! I can teach you how to make paella 🥘

[@pearlhabor7993]

I’m addicted to you ❤

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

Cant imagine grocery shopping for a family of 6 at "Whole Paycheck Foods"

[@kelliez9991]

The family that can afford a private chef can afford quality food.

[@koreanchick1417]

When youre cooking for clients all day do you just much on odds and ends or cook your own portion or eat something totally different? You said you were gonna stick around during the 30 min break so just curious!

[@lutomson3496]

I use those same oats I always wash them there is always stuff in there you dont want to eat stems husks etc...

[@beckyblevins9095]

Great video

[@Lisa25219]

really enjoyed this video😀😀have a question: did you go to culinary school and if so were you a talented cook beforehand? I keep trying to reach the pinnacle of cooking wherer no matter what you cook it's fabulosu and evevry now and then I hit the mark but so many meals are just 'ok'. I'd like to know the secret!

[@danielad.927]

Could you please provide some recipes? For example the recipe for the zucchini bites? 😊

[@fitzy1093]

great video! i think it'd be helpful to always contextualize the number of people you're buying/cooking for

[@S_N_O_W_U_Y]

6:46 holy shit their washing machine tune is the same as mine

[@kaleb0888]

I’m trying to get into that realm of private chef Any starter tips or mistakes you made early on that would be wise to avoid

[@BKetch]

Was that nuts you put in the Overnight Oats? Im going to try making it, not something I've ever heard of. Seems like it would be good. I should have got paste.

[@HashFather21]

Has there ever been a family that made you feel more like a servant than a private chef and if so how did you get out of that situation? I’m assuming most of these jobs if not all are under contract so I’m wondering what happens when you get a terrible client.

[@MoosmanMedia]

how do you find clients? I'm considering going into that field.

[@markreynolds9135]

You keep asking everyone as they enter their gated communities. Eventually someone relents and says yes. 😂

[@JamesLee-xj9jc]

overnight oats look great. Did you get any feedback on them?

[@WorldWideCynthia]

Getting to be Pumpkin season. Overnight Pumpkin Latte Oats for your client. EatingWell has tons of great overnight oats recipes 😉 for you to make your own
