Why St. Louis families choose us
Our first kitchen. Our largest team.
A Perfect Fit began in St. Louis under founder Rachael Lewis. Today our chefs, trained at the Culinary Institute of America and Le Cordon Bleu, cook seasonally, from trusted markets, alongside registered dietitians.
The same chef, every visit
Each chef serves only a few households, so yours comes to know your kitchen, your tastes and your table. With consistent service, your chef stays yours.
Dietitian-guided when you need it
Food allergies, physician guidance, GLP-1 medication or performance goals: a registered dietitian shapes the plan and your chef cooks it.
Trusted by athletes and teams
Our chefs have cooked for professional athletes and professional sports teams, and bring the same precision to family dinners.
As seen in St. Louis

St. Louis questions
What St. Louis clients ask first.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most. Anything else, we're happy to cover in your consultation.
How much does a private chef cost in St. Louis?
It depends on household size, how often your chef comes, your menu and dietary needs, and groceries. We tailor service after a short consultation, then share a clear proposal for your household.
Which St. Louis areas do you serve?
Clayton, Ladue, Frontenac, Town and Country, Kirkwood, Chesterfield, Wildwood and O'Fallon, along with many nearby communities. If you're elsewhere in the St. Louis area, ask about your address.
Will I have the same chef every time?
Yes. Each A Perfect Fit chef serves only a few households and is never rotated between clients. With consistent service, your chef stays dedicated to your home.
How often does the chef come?
On the cadence you choose. Your chef plans menus, shops, cooks in your home, stores everything and resets the kitchen on each visit.
Can a private chef cook for allergies, medical diets or GLP-1 medication?
Yes. A registered dietitian builds your plan around allergies, your physician's guidance or GLP-1 medication, and your chef cooks it at home. We never prescribe or adjust medication. See our GLP-1 private chef service →
Do you cook for dinner parties in St. Louis?
Yes. Our private entertaining service covers intimate dinners and celebrations at home, from menu planning to final cleanup.
What's the difference between a private chef and meal delivery?
A private chef cooks fresh in your own kitchen from menus planned around your household. Meal delivery ships pre-made meals from a central kitchen on a set menu.
