WHO WE ARE
Searching for a private chef near you? Abode Fine Dining is a Birmingham, Michigan private chef company that sends a personal chef to your home across Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor, with no travel fee. Founded in 2020 by Mike Eckles and Marcus D'Onofrio, we cook for as few as 2 guests and as many as 300.
What we do
An in-home chef handles the whole evening. We plan a custom menu with you, bring all the food, cookware, plates, silverware, glassware, placemats, napkins and printed menus, cook in your kitchen, then clean the kitchen and take out the trash. Choose a five-course tasting menu, a three-course prix fixe, a family-style dinner, brunch or a full dinner party.

What Our Private Chef Clients Say
"I have used Abode for every dinner party I've ever hosted... They have accommodated all of my allergy requests and religious restrictions to perfection. They have handled my smallest parties from 4 people all the way to my 150 person graduation."
Isaac Donofrio, West Bloomfield (Google review)
"I have used Abode twice now and let me tell you I would never look anywhere else for this very special service! They are just as professional in a 2-person setting as a 15 person setting and do an amazing job with the food- even with limited tools available at the location! The food is amazing and the plating is Hollywood worthy!"
