From the established fortunes of Houston's energy and medical sectors to the private equity and investment wealth of Dallas, Montclair Chef provides full-time private chef placement for the most discerning families in both cities. Every chef we place is on a long-term, full-time contract, never one-off events or temporary engagements.
Our deep understanding of the Texas UHNW landscape allows us to source the right culinary professional for a Highland Park estate, a Preston Hollow compound, a River Oaks residence, or a Memorial or Hunters Creek Village family home.
We also place wellness and nutrition-focused chefs for principals seeking longevity-oriented, plant-forward, or specialized dietary cuisine, always on a full-time basis.
Whether your principal divides time between a Dallas estate, a Houston primary residence, and a Manhattan, Aspen, or international property, every Montclair placement is sourced through a confidential, founder-led vetting process designed for the families who expect the very best.
