The offer
You have people in cities you have never cooked in. We put you in front of twenty of them for one night, with the room, the flights, the staff and the seats handled before you land. Flat fee, travel covered. You write five courses that tell your story and cook them.
What we handle · everything that is not cooking
Six things with our name on them
- 01The venue. A private room, a studio or a home that seats twenty, walked and booked before you arrive.
- 02Travel. Flights in the night before, out the morning after, and a place to sleep.
- 03The kitchen. Shopping from your list, a sous chef for prep, a dishwasher, two servers who know the menu.
- 04The seats. Pricing, ticketing, the guest list, dietary notes, and the ads that fill the room in your name.
- 05The night. Our team on the door, the pours, the timing, the thank-yous. Travis works your first couple of dinners with you in person. You are at the pass.
- 06The profile. Your page on this site with your portrait, your bio, your menu style and your dates, used to sell every seat.
How we work
A flat fee for the night, with travel covered on top. Ticket sales are our risk, not yours.
Tell us the cities you want to cook in. If you can, send your top five from your own Instagram insights; a city where your people already live is the one that sells out.
In return we ask for a menu in good time and a few posts to your own audience once the date is live. We bring you to the people who will buy a seat; you remind them you are coming.
Private tables and corporate dinners booked through your profile are quoted per event. Dates are confirmed when the room is booked.
Pitch a city
Your name.
The cities.
When you are free.
One email is enough. We reply inside one business day with what those cities look like for you, and who you would be working with: Chef Travis Petersen, who toured The Nomad Cook himself and cooked four out of five of its 1,271 dinners across 177 cities.
