Private Chef Dinners in Your Home or Vacation Rental

I’m Chris Spear, chef and owner of Perfect Little Bites. I cook plated, multi-course dinners for groups throughout Maryland, Washington DC, Northern Virginia, the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and southern Pennsylvania.

You enjoy the evening with your guests while I handle the menu planning, shopping, cooking, service and cleanup.

Stephanie Myers

Kelly Laderoute

“Chris was friendly, professional, and happy to answer our questions throughout the evening, making it feel personal and relaxed without ever being intrusive.”

Lauren Judd

“He was very easy to communicate with, was super responsive and the day of arrived right on time.”
