GATHER AT OUR TABLE • PRIVATE DINING
Private Chef in Signal Mountain & Chattanooga
A dinner created for your table—and no one else’s.
Private Chef Chattanooga and Signal Mountain experiences built around exceptional ingredients, seasonality, and food made from scratch. I intentionally accept only a limited number of private dinners each month, allowing me to give every menu and every table the time and attention it deserves.

This Isn’t Catering. It’s Personal.
Every dinner begins with a conversation.
There are no preset menus, packages, or dishes selected from a list. We’ll talk about what you love to eat, what you’re celebrating, and the kind of evening you want to create.
From there, I’ll design a menu specifically for your table, guided by the season and the ingredients available at their best.
No two dinners are the same. That’s the point.
Made From Scratch. Guided by the Season.
Great cooking starts with great ingredients.
I seek out exceptional meats, seafood, produce, cheeses, and specialty ingredients, with menus evolving throughout the year to use them when they’re at their best.
And when making something from scratch makes it better, that’s what I’ll do.
Bread. Pasta. Stocks. Sauces. Dressings. Desserts.
No shortcuts for the sake of convenience. Just thoughtful cooking built for your table.

Meet Chef Reggie Powell
I’ve spent much of my life around food—cooking professionally, working in restaurant and hotel kitchens, teaching culinary students, and sharing what I’ve learned with home cooks through Gather at Our Table.
Private dining allows me to cook in a way I love—creating a menu for a small group of people and giving every component the attention it deserves.
It’s what Gather at Our Table has always been about: great food bringing people together.

What Guests Are Saying
The best way to understand the experience is to hear from the people I’ve had the opportunity to cook for.
See How I Cook
Hiring a private chef is personal. You should know something about the person who will be cooking in your home.
Through Gather at Our Table, I share the way I actually cook—from making bread and sauces from scratch to breaking down ingredients, developing recipes, and building a dish from the ground up.
You don’t have to take my word for it. You can watch me cook.

Some evenings deserve more than a reservation.
