What Bougie Table is
A chef who cooks in your home, not a caterer who drops off trays.
Bougie Table is the in-home private chef experience for the Sierra Foothills. A chef shops that day, arrives at your door, cooks every course in your kitchen, serves your guests, and leaves the kitchen clean. Nothing is cooked ahead somewhere else.
We are the hospitality side of Backyard Bougie, a family-run studio on a small farm outside Placerville. The chefs are people we have cooked with, eaten with, and vetted in our own kitchen.
How the evening goes
Four steps. You only do the first one.
-
Tell us about the evening
The occasion, the guest count, the kitchen. A short call with Kristie, and a menu proposal within five days.
-
Your chef shops that morning
Foothills markets and farm stands. Every allergy and preference is settled before the night.
-
Dinner, in your kitchen
The chef arrives two and a half hours before the first course, cooks on site, and serves the table.
-
The last dish put away
The kitchen is left cleaner than we found it. You are still at the table when we say goodnight.
Three ways to set the table

Where we cook, and what you pour
Within thirty miles of Placerville. Wine is yours to choose.
Placerville, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Granite Bay, Roseville, Apple Hill, Fair Play, and South Lake Tahoe. Sacramento on request. Travel is included within 30 miles of Placerville. Beyond that, a $75 travel fee applies; South Lake Tahoe is quoted separately in winter.
Wine and spirits are provided by the host. Our chefs are happy to open and pour what you have chosen. If you would like suggestions, the menu card carries pairing notes for the bottles you already love.
For chefs
Your night off, your menu.
Bougie Table chefs are restaurant cooks on their dark nights and independent chefs who already run their own kitchens. We bring the host, the booking, the deposit, and the photographs. You bring the food you have always wanted to cook.
