About ChefMe
Our mission is to create presence and experiences through food.
Our Story
We fulfill our mission by giving you the opportunity to focus and be fully present with the ones you love; we bridge the gap between unforgettable moments and culinary experiences that you and your guests will remember for a long time.
Whether you are hosting a dinner party, your child's confirmation, your dream wedding, your birthday, or the annual company party, you can relax, breathe out, and be present in your role as a host. We have gathered the best chefs - not only for their culinary skills, but for their passion, personality, and ability to create exceptional culinary experiences. “Every bite is a chance to create a unique memory with those you care about.”

"Når jeg selv laver maden, er jeg altid bombet efter. Jeg føler mig som en dårlig vært, fordi mit fokus er i køkkenet og ikke hos mine gæster. Omvendt så kunne det også let ske, at sovsen brændte på, eller pastaen fik lidt for meget, fordi man glemte at holde styr på tiden, når man underholdte sine gæster. Det var de småproblemer, vi ville til livs."
