About Us
Our Mission
“Our vision is to lead the future of micro-dining by becoming the foremost hyper-localized private chef service. Through thoughtfully prepared meals, intimate events, and responsible sourcing, we reconnect people with the land, the farmers, and the stories behind their food. We believe that every plate is a chance to strengthen our relationship with the natural world—and that great food starts with a deeper connection to where—and who—it comes from.”
Good Food Starts with a Good Story—Here’s Ours.
"Food isn’t just about eating—it’s about feeling connected. To the people at the table, to the ingredients on the plate, and to the hands that made it possible. But somewhere along the way, that connection started to fade.
The Kitchenette Project was created to bring it back.
We believe food should feel personal. Not mass-produced, not rushed—just real meals made with care. That means sourcing the best ingredients we can, working with producers who share our values, and always prioritizing quality over shortcuts.
This isn’t just about making meals—it’s about creating something worth sitting down for. Whether it’s a chef-prepared dinner for a busy weeknight or a private dining experience designed just for you, we make sure every dish reflects the thought, craft, and intention that great food deserves.
Because good food should do more than feed you. It should make you feel something.
Tim Tokarz
At an early age, our founder discovered the transformative power of food — a force that shapes history, influences local and expansive food systems, and unites us in shared moments. Join us on a journey where every bite tells a story, connecting us through the timeless and universal language of flavor.
For Chef Tim, the beauty of the culinary industry lies in its ability to provide diverse experiences — from cooking in Los Angeles, Chicago & New York to crafting meals for the Royal Greek Family. It's a journey that fosters connections with both the produce and the people behind them. Cooking, in his view, is a means to create a community and establish connectivity, transcending geographical boundaries. Indeed, food is love!
The Kitchenette Project's mission has always been rooted in humble, refined, scratch cooking that captures the essence of simplicity of exceptional ingredients. Our focused approach allows our clients to authentically connect with Chef Tim, our diverse cultures, and the world at large.
