Chef Frank MUSIC & DINNER PARTY DETAILS

Food: I usually decide on the menu a few days before or even day of once I'm in the store and can see what looks fresh and good. But I'm happy to follow any direction you want, in case you have any dis-likes or preferences…

I will do all the shopping and show up at your place with the Guitar & Food; we like to get there a few hours before the guests arrive to prep and cook, so that I can be all ready and relaxed when they arrive. It's all very casual :) I serve dinner & play a private concert for you after.

BASIC COST DETAILS

* 1 to 10 people:    $700 + $50 (per person for Food )
* 11 to 16 people:   $700 + $50 (per person for Food ) + $400 for my Sous Chef
* 17 to 20 people:   $700 + $50 (per person for Food ) + $700 total for 2 Sous Chefs)
Poi dog pondering Band members can be added as Sous Chefs, cost is 600 per band member (in place of Sous Chef fees)

DIETARY RESTRICTIONS:

( Feel Free to Let me know if you prefer, Spicy, Non-Spicy, Meaty, Vegetarian, Pesce-catarian... etc., ) Important: if there are dietary restrictions, I do ask that people are clear as to whether it is an allergy or a preference... as that is an important distinction.

DINNER TIME:

Can I arrive 4 hours before dinner to prepare?

Cooking is a meditative process for me, it takes me a few hours of quiet concentration to build the flavors, and develop the dishes. So, I like to arrive early to prep, approximately 4 hours BEFORE the guests arrive, if possible. (That way, I can have the bulk of my work done, so I can relax and socialize with everyone as they arrive).

Do you have these things in your kitchen? (not that we need these, just good to know either way :))) AND, if you do have any of these, IF YOU COULD HAVE THEM OUT AND READY FOR US, that would be a helpl

(Oven / Blender or food processor / Roasting pan / 1 or 2 frying pans / 2 or 3 cutting boards / Large pot for boiling water / Strainer / a few mixing bowls / Outdoor Grill)

Basic Cost Estimater: basic fee is $700 plus $50 per person (for up to 10 diners) If there are 11 to 16 diners please add $400 for my sous chef, if there are 17 to 21 diners please add $300 for my 2nd sous chefs - Max 21 people (if you select a band member as sous chef/performer, fee is 600 per band member sous chef)

A $300 Deposit is required a month in advance, once date is confirmed (for 2 reasons: It becomes the budget towards groceries, & secondly, I often have to travel for these, so that secures my transportation) this is not additional - it comes out of the total fee.

PDP Band Member Sous Chef Option

(If you would rather have another PDP band member be the sous chef then scratch the Sous Chef fee, and add 600 (per extra band member).

Outside Bay Area California details

( I love to travel, so If you live outside the Bay Area California Area (Where I live) , This is not a problem. But if so, transportation is a special consideration. You will need to take care of train or airfare, Accommodation and transportation to and from the airport, (But we can discuss that when the time comes, and we'll find the best solution for everyone. We are super flexible).

You can pay the night of by Cash, Venom, Zelle or Check, (cash, Venom, Zelle is best, as we go out of pocket ahead of time for groceries & travel), but check is fine too; If by check, please make out to: Poi dog pondering INC.,

A Note on Wine & Beverages

(Just because legally it gets tricky with my bringing Wine, I no longer do - so you will be in charge of Wine / Beverages: What ever you like is fine. And, in fact, I've also noticed that guests like to bring wine; it gives them the opportunity to contribute to the festivities).

( If you do not hear back right away on a chef night inquiry, it is most likely because Frank is out on tour & has not had a chance to check emails yet. Thanks for understanding! He will get back to you as soon as he can.)
