Elevated catering and private chef experiences in Dallas.
With decades of culinary excellence, we create refined, personalized menus designed to transform every event into an unforgettable experience.
At Hello Chef Catering, high cuisine meets authentic, personalized hospitality. Founded by Chef Laurent Poupart and Chef Xavier Grenet, our story began over a decade ago when they met as chefs at the iconic Essex House in New York City.
Our background includes experience in Michelin-starred restaurants as well as exclusive private kitchens, where we refined a culinary style that is sophisticated, precise, and deeply human. Over the years, we have worked with high-profile clients and developed our own culinary ventures, always guided by excellence and attention to detail.
Today, all of that knowledge, technique, and passion are proudly placed at the service of our clients in Dallas. After relocating from New Mexico, Chef Xavier joined Chef Laurent to bring Hello Chef Catering to life—a concept created to deliver personalized culinary experiences that transform every event into something truly memorable.
