Say goodbye to hidden fees and hello to total control.
Meridian basics
How far in advance do I need to book?
Same-day bookings are available in most cities as long as a chef is free (often within 2–6 hours). For special dates or larger parties (15+), we recommend 48–72 hours to guarantee your first-choice chef.
What does the price include?
Everything except the groceries: the chef’s time, travel, cooking, full table service, and cleanup. You only pay the actual grocery receipt (average $18–$35 per person depending on menu).
Do you mark up the groceries?
Never. You see the receipt and pay exactly what the chef paid—no hidden fees.
What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?
Every booking starts with dietary questions. Our chefs handle everything from vegan and keto to severe nut allergies. Just tell us once and it’s locked in.
Do I need to provide pots, pans, or anything?
No. Chefs bring their own knives, tools, and small equipment. They only use your stove, oven, and basic cookware.
Can I pick my exact chef?
Yes. After you enter your details you’ll see 3–6 available chefs with photos, bios, sample menus, and real guest reviews. You choose who comes.
Do you serve alcohol or pair wines?
Chefs can recommend and serve wine/by-the-glass cocktails if you provide the alcohol, or they can shop for it and add to the receipt (21+ ID required).
What’s your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation or rescheduling up to 24 hours before. Within 24 hours we charge 50% (to cover the chef’s lost evening).
