Dinner Under
the Stars
A long table on the sand, a canopy of hanging lights above it, and dinner served while the sun goes down. We bring everything. You just turn up.
The one people photograph
Of everything we do, this is the one that ends up framed. A table set properly on the sand, lanterns strung overhead, and nobody lifting a finger.
We arrive early
Three to five hours before you eat, depending on your group. Tables, chairs, linens, the light canopy, tiki torches — all of it set while you're still at the beach.
You sit down
Dinner is served at your table as the light goes. One server for every fifteen guests, so glasses stay full and plates keep moving.
We disappear
Everything packed out, the sand left as we found it, your kitchen cleaner than it was. You won't lift a chair.

Working to a budget? Tell us the number you have in mind and we will build a menu to it. We would rather cook you something honest at your price than talk you into something you did not want to spend.
No glass is permitted on the beach. It is county law, not our rule. We bring shatterproof drinkware and will decant wine or champagne before we head down. Any fine issued for glass is passed on to the client.
Glass isn't allowed on the beach — county law, and the fines are real. We bring shatterproof drinkware, and we'll decant your wine before we head down.
An evening on the sand
Easier to show you than describe.
What you'll eat
Build your own from the whole kitchen, or let Chef Jojo design it around what you love. Here's a table we've sent out before.
Tax and gratuity are added to your quote. Parties over twenty on the sand are priced individually — tell us what you have in mind.
The questions we get
What if the weather turns?
Buy travel insurance when you book your trip, with named-storm coverage. We're on the Gulf Coast and storms are part of the deal here. Weather doesn't change our cancellation terms, because our costs stand either way.
Where exactly on the beach?
Tell us if you have somewhere in mind and we'll try for it. You'll get a text on the day with the exact access point and your chef's name and number.
Where is the food actually cooked?
If that doesn't work, tell us — we can cook off site, though a few dishes travel better than others.
Can we add a bonfire?
Their fee covers the fire permit. Chairs, blankets and a s'mores station come with it.
How many people does this work for?
Tell us your number and we'll come back with something real.
What do you need from us?
That's it. We handle the rest.
