Private Chef
Scottsdale & Phoenix, AZ
Fine Dining,
In Your Home
Hiring a private chef used to mean navigating agency fees, cookie-cutter menus, and strangers who barely knew your name. A Prime Dinners is different. When you book Chef Anthony Primera, you get a decade-trained fine dining professional who treats your dinner table like the most important reservation of the year — because for him, it is.
Chef Primera founded A Prime Dinners in Scottsdale in 2019 after years of working in the Valley's finest kitchens and honing his craft in Seattle's celebrated Japanese culinary scene. His philosophy has never wavered: start with the best ingredients, learn everything about your guests, and cook with genuine care. That philosophy shows in every dish he plates.
Private chef services from A Prime Dinners cover the full spectrum of intimate dining occasions. A romantic dinner for two in your Scottsdale Old Town loft. A six-course dinner party for fourteen guests in a Paradise Valley estate. A surprise birthday celebration in Phoenix or a holiday feast in Chandler. Chef Primera builds every menu from scratch, sources every ingredient with intention, and handles the entire evening — cooking, plating, and cleanup — while you remain fully present with your guests.
