Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you serve as a private chef on the Emerald Coas?
Cinders & Salt Chefs are based along Florida’s Emerald Coast and serve seaside Florida, including: 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, Destin, Panama City Beach, Pensacola, Apalachicola and surrounding Panhandle areas.
Do you offer private chefs for vacation rentals in 30A, Panama City Beach, and Santa Rosa Beach?
Yes — we regularly cook in vacation rentals across the emerald coast. Whether you’re staying in an Airbnb, VRBO, or a locally managed rental, we bring a fully curated dining experience directly to your home away from home.
What is included in a private chef service?
A full private chef experience includes menu planning, grocery shopping, in-home cooking, professional service, plating, and complete kitchen cleanup. Every detail is handled so you can simply enjoy the experience.
What types of cuisine do you specialize in?
Our style is rooted in Southern and Gulf Coast cuisine with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and Gulf seafood. We also create custom menus inspired by global flavors and guest preferences.
Why hire a private chef instead of going to a restaurant?
While 30A and the Emerald Coast are known for incredible dining, options can be limited and getting reservations—especially for larger groups or peak travel dates—can be challenging. A private chef experience offers complete privacy, customized menus, no wait times, and a fully personalized dining experience in your own space — whether that’s a beachfront rental or private home.
Do you provide cleanup after cooking?
Yes — full kitchen cleanup is included so your space is left clean and ready to enjoy after your meal.
What makes Cinders & Salt different from other private chefs in Florida?
What sets us apart is not just the food, but the level of execution and care behind every experience. Cinders & Salt is led by Chef David, a seasoned chef with years of professional experience in high-end kitchens and private dining. His background has shaped a refined yet approachable style of cooking that blends technique, creativity, and a deep respect for seasonal Gulf Coast ingredients.
