Celebrating the Impact of Epicurate: Transforming the Private Chef Industry


At Epicurate, we’re thrilled to see the recognition of our founder, Max Porterkhamsy, and the role Epicurate is playing in revolutionizing the private chef industry. The recent Business Insider article highlighted the remarkable opportunities available to private chefs today and the critical role Epicurate plays in shaping this growing sector.

Elevating Private Chefs: The Epicurate Mission


Max Porterkhamsy’s journey, as shared in the article, encapsulates the heart of Epicurate’s mission: to empower chefs and experience providers to thrive independently while connecting them with discerning clients who value personalized experiences.

After years in Michelin-starred kitchens like Le Bernardin, Max transitioned to private cooking, crafting bespoke dining experiences for affluent clients in extraordinary locations. But the industry’s existing platforms often failed to support the chefs themselves. As Max said, “Experiences are the most personal way we create memories—it’s the interaction between chef and guest, not the platform, that makes them special.”

Epicurate was born to fill that gap, giving chefs the tools, visibility, and independence to build their own brands without losing ownership of their craft.

How Epicurate is Transforming the Industry


The Business Insider piece highlighted incredible stories that reflect the essence of what Epicurate facilitates:

Exclusive Experiences: Max’s personal anecdotes—flying on private planes to cook in luxury homes and curating elaborate menus for unique gatherings—showcase the extraordinary opportunities private chefs enjoy.
Unmatched Demand: With affluent clients prioritizing in-home, health-conscious dining, the demand for private chefs has surged. Epicurate ensures chefs can seize these opportunities with confidence and ease.
Empowerment Over Platforms: Unlike traditional platforms, Epicurate empowers chefs to retain their independence while providing the tools they need to succeed—streamlining logistics, offering business management support, and connecting them to a curated network of high-value clients.


Why Epicurate Matters


The article perfectly captures why Epicurate is more than a booking platform—it’s a movement to transform the private chef industry. By focusing on the chef-client relationship and prioritizing the artistry of hospitality, we’re redefining what it means to deliver luxury experiences.

Max’s guiding principle resonates across everything we do: “What clients can’t afford is an evening of disappointment.” With Epicurate, chefs are equipped to deliver not just meals, but unforgettable moments.

Join the Revolution


We’re proud to celebrate Max’s leadership and the incredible work of our chefs. If you’re a private chef or hospitality provider ready to take your career to new heights, Epicurate is here to help you achieve your goals.
