My Life As A Private Chef in Las Vegas

Having a personal chef isn't always about five star meals. It's about dietary restrictions, it's about busy lifestyles, spending time with family and saving your most valuable asset, time. I'm not gonna sugarcoat my videos to make you think that everything I do is glamorous because not all rich people have a stick up their back side.

[@tacomapappas]

I’m a fan of these, and honestly would even prefer them being longer! Side note, most people don’t have the skills to put together a decent, healthy meal. So even the simpler meals you’re preparing are above and beyond their capabilities and exactly what they’re looking for. Also the demographic looking for healthier, tasteful meals is way larger than those people looking for gourmet meals every day so you’re marketing towards a larger audience of clients. Keep crushing it 💪🏽😎

[@culinarymisfits]

Thanks so much for this response! This is exactly what we do as personal chefs. Give a people exactly what they want making their lives more convenient, healthier even if it's simple basic foods. We do fancy, just not every single meal. Thanks so much!

[@thru_and_thru]

Hell yes, if I could afford a personal chef and hired you I would be looking for exactly these type of meals. Fancy restaurant food is great every now and again for a treat but no way I would want to eat that kind of stuff regularly as I would be super out of shape pretty quick. Simple, clean and tasty food made with fresh ingredients is what we all should be all be eating day to day.

[@kkinhi1]

I love the diversity. Just do what you do it’s always informative and entertaining. Love your humor and truthfulness. Your one of my favorite characters on KZbin .

[@starrjus]

This format is amazing and I personally like the longer videos.

[@bobjohnson8169]

Hey Chef, You have the natural conversation of a late night talk show host, the poise of a TV Chef, and the humor or a Netflix Special. I appreciate no music as it gets us and your voice more quickly. Your day in the life is great, I wish there were more people who could anonymously interact with you as you prepare their feast. The restaurant finds are gold. When a restaurant Chef comes out to explain their path to you where you are there eating. GOLD! I’m not sure I can emphasize this enough. As a viewer, you are taking us on your journey, you’re not unnecessarily stressed, but you allow us to see reality. Dude, you are a Chef that just prepared a custom lunch/dinner for your client, and you let us see you cleaning up! Swiffer, Mop, that stuff resonates with us, I assure you! Thanks. B

[@culinarymisfits]

You're awesome! Thanks for this response. Just keep commenting, liking and especially sharing these videos. That's what helps the most.

[@erinnstreeter]

Everything I've watched you make, from the simple to the complex, has been made with professionalism, attention to the needs of the client, and care. Food doesn't have to be elaborate to be good.

[@TheHidden-ny4rk]

As an ex cook myself I find your content relaxing to watch..

[@br7283]

I loved the video - it's real life (as you can tell from the little one having a yell-fest as you plated the food - LOL!). You are so right, not everyone wants/needs rich sauces, etc. I love to cook and love trying new things but the simpler the better sometimes. You are doing an awesome job of keeping it real. Thank you!

[@donnamason354]

I try to replicate at least one of his dishes once per week. It's only me here, so I try to share with the other elderly people in our building.

[@culinarymisfits]

@@donnamason354 make sure you let me know what dishes you'd like me to go into more detail with and I can start making shorts for you on those. I'm starting a second channel called Culinary Misfits 2 and I'll be putting those recipes there.

[@donnamason354]

@CulinaryMisfits I could really use help with making a great tasting curry. I had a Jamaican friend years ago that made a curry chicken with rice and peas, ( beans). That curry sauce has never been replicated by me and I have tried so many times. My friend, unfortunately passed shortly after he made it. I know that there's more dishes, but this was the one my mind went to immediately. Thank you.

[@Lulu-ki6ds]

We don’t want 8 min or less ,, we enjoy whatever you got to give. Also, it inspires me to try new recipes

[@nobodysfool4444]

I love the day in the life videos more than the food reviews. I live here in Vegas and the restaurants are not new stuff for me. I like your personality, style and talent and your grocery runs are super fun because I can’t afford Whole Foods! 🤣 So it’s nice to see the ingredients. Longer videos rock but I know it takes a long time to edit, so you do you. We will sit through the commercials regardless just to get you paid.

[@1RodeoMom]

I like it all especially when you tell us what's in the dishes. Like the 🌶 sauce you prepared. Thank you!

[@cherbo4112]

being a private chef here in vegas for over 19 years, every client and chef preferences are different. i came from the Wynn and Bellagio and plated three courses every dinner and my client sat me down and asked to tone it down, lol i was shocked. anyway don't listen to the noise, I know who you are speaking of making comments.... and you should grab a drink with us, just a little group of private chefs here in town.

[@culinarymisfits]

I'd love that! Hit me up on IG and shoot me a DM and comment in one of my videos so we can connect

[@elabuterin7150]

❤️ that comment! Personally I love to cook more complex dishes/try new dishes and enjoy the thumbs up from my husband. Every once in a while he’ll say HON MAKE THAT BEAN SOUP. Peasant food! Went to Lago for our 40th wedding anniversary and we both got the biggest disappointment for a hefty price tag. Food is music for the belly. Sometimes you want good old country and then you want to experience the opera. Would love to see you guys sitting down together and compare clients (without divulging names). Maybe a Q&A from viewers?

[@RanissaScott]

Loved the video. Appreciate the longer content, reviews and everything you have curated so far here. Thanks again!

[@DJJAE]

Yes to this format. Keep it coming - honestly, everything you are putting out is super interesting and fun to watch. It is fun to live vicariously through you. HA.

[@culinarymisfits]

Awesome, thank you!

[@n.v.1173]

Love this. New here. Wish the video was longer love the cooking choices. 👌🏼👏🏼🥰💃🏻🌟

[@amandagarthe6416]

I loooove simple food. It’s the best…season it differently each time and you basically have a new meal 🤷‍♀️The meals you cook look fantastic!

[@kyleflem82]

I definitely enjoyed this video from start to finish. Not sure why but I especially enjoy you heading to the supermarket to pick out the ingredients. Keep up the great work!

[@maryanndise345]

I like the mix of meal prep details and where you shop and how you select as well as restaurant requests from client and your chat with staff to request recipe info you have a very nice way about you with those contacts such nice conversations. 10 min great time and has more content. I can’t believe another chef criticized your need to follow client requirement keyboard jerks.

[@culinarymisfits]

You're awesome! Thanks for your input. Some people lash out because they don't have the talent or comprehension themselves. Most chefs make it all about them and not their client. It's very sad. I'd love to flex and show what incredible food I can make but if my client doesn't want it, I don't make it

[@maryanndise345]

@@culinarymisfits I am sure that Clients who can afford private chefs are quite capable of making their preferences clear between “follow my dietary restrictions, surprise me or amaze me” their money their call. They must love your pleasant attitude in their homes so upbeat. You have proved your skills on episodes with dinner parties. It’s all good, Great videos.

[@CattaAttoAI]

I don't like that much restaurant reviews. I like this format, 7-10 minutes will be amazing 🤩. Thanks mate. I really enjoyed this day in your life

[@lynnewolfe7965]

I love your channel. I'm always searching for menu ideas, and you are just what the doctor ordered!

[@rudyorpington3152]

Very much enjoy these 'day in the life' videos and wouldn't mind them to be longer. I would love for you to include a lot more of the actual cooking/preparing because I find it inspiring. Love your easy, chatty nature!

[@kathleenoboyle9741]

Loved the video - day in life is always interesting. Time doesn't matter to me. Especially appreciate when you describe the dishes. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and share.

[@peggymartin7681]

I love it all! Just love hanging out with you. Learning so much. ❤

[@ChristopherB-]

I want it all. Huge fan of these longer videos, and like others have said; Wouldn't oppose to them being EVEN longer! 15-20 minutes "A day in the life of" sounds perfect to me. Should time permit, and you want to share; Maybe put the "recipe" of whatever you're cooking on screen for a second or two whilst shopping and/or cooking. Keep it up though, loving it. And ignore the haters, they're just jealous.

[@susanboh3792]

Eric it's fun to watch whatever you want to post. Do what makes you happy. Life is short and we love everything you do. I'm a Misfit fan no matter what.

[@yvonnebirch6026]

I love how comfortable and confident you are ❤ love your channel ! ❤❤

[@kichlersm]

Don't listen to the naysayers... you are working for a customer and you are hired for a reason. I enjoy your videos and encourage any format. I like the mix, so you do you! Also, if you ever find yourself in Pittsburgh, I would gladly take you on a culinary tour. (Believe it or not, this is becoming quite the foodie area!)

[@patriciagurwitz509]

Great videos ‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼more…

[@Lyntintin1]

It amazes me how judgemental ppl can be. You make what your client wants. Sorry they dont need you in 2025, but sounds like a new chapter is waiting for you. Never boring!!!! I like this format, the format in your kitchen, the format in the grocery store and the format of checking out different restaurants on the strip. Keeps it fresh.

[@ChefShaylaMD]

I love getting notifications of your videos. I love your day in the life videos. Your personality, cooking, and overall flow is super cool. Thank for sharing.

[@pattiries]

Love the simplicity of your recipes! Great food with a little humor mixed in! Keep doing what you are doing.

[@SusanH5390]

I like a little longer format where you share making the actual food! That beef looked so good! I live in a very rural area & have always seen you make your beef short ribs but could never find the short ribs in my local stores until a few weeks ago! I’m going to be trying a short rib recipe soon! Thanks for sharing all your content!

[@culinarymisfits]

I appreciate it! I'm going to start making the recipes that you guys request the most but it will be on a new shorts page Culinary Misfits2. I had to separate shorts from long format because shorts with long format works against me. A lot of creators are doing this now

[@FoodOfTheGods666]

Love the long format videos, and btw, you have been doing awesome, love your work.

[@SongSparrow-wf2is]

love to see the food and the preparation and the cooking and the serving🌷

[@Psylaine64]

I'd like longer form videos to be honest. I want to learn these recipes see how you operate and generally come along for the ride! ... btw I could see your mini heartbreak at realising you would be leaving this family that you have grown to love... I hope one day soon you will be reunited with them x

[@DrozzDragon]

I love the longer format day in the life, the restaurant reviews are fun always gives me something to think about when I hit Las Vegas again, if I really just like watching you cook & listening to your meal prep

[@wendy9937]

I really enjoy hanging out with you and seeing what your day is like. Compared to my regular day, yours is glamourous! Hanging out with you raises my vibration and helps me dream of a different career again! Thank you for sharing your work, your skills, your spirit!

[@damianrhea8875]

Thank you very much for sharing your professional activities and the food content of your work. Really, they provide a great reference and an inspiration to the health of our unprofessional culinary activities and diets. 😊

[@jodypickett4904]

Love your show. Great content. 10-12 mins is perfect.

[@petraharwin9670]

I really enjoyed this one. It’s nice to see the more realistic side of things, rather than the more sensational content others post.

[@beckyjones6956]

I wish I could afford you. I have been married 51 years and I am done with cooking and need simple meals and my husband loves food and doesn't want to eat much now that we are 70. Your meals looked perfect today.

[@Veora]

I love the longer videos, they're a little slice-of-life and a good culture insight!

[@paulacooper3545]

I want it all. Keep it up Chef. I'm a simple girl, you are so cool, calm, and collective and I just live this family. Sometime simple is better.

[@yulnestor]

Great video, as far as video length, I'd say 10 - 15" min would suit me just fine, your subject matter is sooooo interesting. As far as the contract ending at years end, don't worry, your smart and very talented guy, and something will replace this contract. Talk to the Universe, that's what I do. Take Care Dude!

[@doubledenim1341]

dig this. keeping doing this, 8 mins is slick. like 3 times a week - i'd watch them all

[@culinarymisfits]

Thanks so much for your input

[@kellym6019]

Funny, "...a little goofy, kinda cute." Had me rolling 😂 😂 I really enjoy your videos. I love the personal chef thing, it shows your flexibility and personality. I also love your food adventures out side of the kitchen. I hope the transition in December is an easy one for you but i understand falling in love with the personal setting of becoming part of the family. If possible, it might help you to share your thoughts with us as you process it. If it's to painful though, I'll fully understand ❤

[@mariagillinson8527]

Dear Eric! Don’t listen to awful people and you’re right it’s jealousy and a bad attitude! I love what you do and your attitude! Very fun!

[@emily1983]

I love your hang out videos! And the meals look fantastic.

[@TheSchmidt22]

Love the “day in the life” type of video. Just started following you!

[@sadjaxx]

I enjoyed this. I enjoy the restaurant visits too. You make it all enjoyable, wonderful presentation.

[@dmmness]

I Personally like the longer format vids... On a side note about the female chef comment/s, I have met too many chefs like her. Know what I do? I completely ignore them. It is super easy for me to ignore a stuck up bad apple. You do you. Cook amazing healthy and fun food for your clients. Cool thing about having a great client is the word of mouth. When they like or love your food, it is almost impossible to not talk about it. Even more so when "friends" come over and see what you're all about. Till the next one!! Happy cooking!

[@kimmarko99]

I love the longer format.. I also enjoy the restaurant reviews/copycat recipes.

[@marianbrinley4389]

I always enjoy being with you! Love the longer format!! Yes, you are kinda cute!!🥰

[@tg2540]

Love the longer format. Enjoy watching you actually cook the food...less shopping, I already know how to do that lol. What was the chicken stuffed with? How did you make the sauce for the edamame? Slicing the beef-technique? Tips? Overall like your channel.

[@culinarymisfits]

@tg2540 This is fantastic feedback. Shorter shopping, longer cooking, love that idea! ❤

[@lisawright9409]

Love the humour and the length of the video! Being from Australia I love seeing what produce you have over there and comparing it to what we have! The food you are serving for your client are wholesome well balanced meals. I have to say dinner time with the child crying is very relatable to many families 😂 keep up the great work chef!

[@fkcoolers2669]

Wow you weren't kidding when you said clean up - full floor treatment too. Big fan of the vids and also use them for home cooking ideas as I keep learning to get better.

[@dreawoo3119]

Simple and delicious and healthy. I love it. Keep doing what you do😊

Flipping the cap backwards = getting down to business. Love this, Eric!

Opinions are like bums everyone has one 😂😂 love the longer format but having said that I love everything you post!

This was great and your food looks delicious. It doesn’t have to be extravagant or multiple courses, it needs to be whatever your client wants!!! TYFS

Want to see more of you preparing meals for clients. I’d like to see the different types of food that you cook.

Get the family in the kitchen with you!

I like it all❤spicy edamame looks delicious!

[@hooligan1974]

Good Luck on new opportunities for next year. I agree with another commenter - I would enjoy even longer duration videos!

[@smokeye9765]

I like the format, but would like a little longer videos. I'm a fan of "TheCrewChef" who has a similar channel to you but - on a yacht. Simple meals, more extravagant, restaurant reviews, or a day in the life are all good. Keep it going.

[@tammyshankle2743]

I know athletes and actors can write private chef expenses off as a business expense in most cases I believe....wondering if and how the clients are able to write off the expense? or not?Just curious...great videos as always we dont have wagyu stakes here in california we have burgers only a couple months a year that kitchen looks like my old house!

[@culinarymisfits]

Actually we can't be written off as in expense. It could only be filed under personal not business.
