Private Chef & Estate Management Services

Rooted in Excellence, Refined by the Journey

The Drifting Chef offers exclusive private chef services and discreet estate management to families seeking unparalleled hospitality on Hawai‘i Island.  With a legacy shaped in 5 star hotels, Michelin star restaurants, and America's most prestigious private kitchens, our approach is intentional, intuitive, and quietly luxurious.

 

 

We design and execute private dining experiences for families, founders, and global travelers visiting Kona’s most exclusive estates. Menus are tailored daily to each client, reflecting seasonal Hawaiian ingredients, global inspiration, and thoughtful restraint.
