Our Philosophy
You're Not
Hiring a Chef.
You're Creating
a Memory.
AfterToday Chefs was founded on a singular belief: that the finest dining experiences belong in private homes, not restaurants. We bring Michelin-inspired technique, regionally sourced ingredients, and deeply personal service to every table we set across NY, NJ, CT, and RI.
Total Customization
Every menu is created from scratch around your guests, dietary needs, preferences, and the story you want to tell that evening.
Coastal Provenance
We source seasonally from the Northeast — local farms, coastal seafood, artisan producers — because ingredient integrity is the foundation of excellence.
White-Glove Discretion
Your home remains your sanctuary. We arrive, we perform, we leave no trace — only the memory of an extraordinary evening.
Signature Experiences
Curated Evenings,
Crafted for You
Each experience is a named, structured journey — not a generic service. Choose the format that speaks to your occasion, then we personalize every detail.
The Coastal Tasting Experience
A six to eight course progression inspired by the Northeast coast — from raw bar beginnings to a refined dessert finale. Thoughtful wine pairings available. Best for 2–10 guests.
The Intimate Celebration
Designed for life's defining moments — anniversaries, milestone birthdays, proposals. A deeply personal experience where every detail, from the first amuse-bouche to the final toast, honors your story.
The Estate Gathering
When the occasion calls for grandeur — a cocktail reception flowing into plated dinner service. Full staffing, elegant presentation, and seamless orchestration for your estate or venue.
The Chef's Table Evening
An interactive culinary theatre where your guests witness the artistry in motion. Chef Joshua presents each course at the table, sharing the story, technique, and provenance behind every dish.
The Garden Wellness Table
A seasonally driven, nutrient-forward dining experience without compromise on elegance. Farm-sourced, botanically inspired, and beautifully executed for guests who lead with wellness.
Craft Your Own Experience
Every element — cuisine style, course count, theme, service format, and staffing — built entirely to your vision. For clients who want something that has never existed before.
How It Works
Effortless
from First Call
to Final Course
Discovery Consultation
A private conversation about your vision, occasion, guest count, dietary considerations, and preferences. We listen before we create.
Bespoke Menu Proposal
Chef Joshua and the team craft a personalized menu proposal — coursed, seasonal, and designed specifically for your evening.
Ingredient Sourcing
We source from our network of local farms, coastal suppliers across CT, NY, NJ, and RI, and artisan producers. Freshness is non-negotiable.
The Evening Itself
Our team arrives early, transforms your space, executes with precision, and provides seamless service throughout the evening.
Full Cleanup & Departure
We leave your home exactly as we found it — spotless, quiet, and allowing you to relish the evening long after we've gone.
From the moment you reach out, every interaction is handled personally. We do not use booking portals, automated menus, or templated proposals. This is a private chef relationship — not a transaction.

Every dish from the beginning until the very end was delectable and creative. The wagyu and lobster were undeniably the main event. Our 20th anniversary was a special, unique experience we will always cherish.
Edwin & Mrs. Jean · 20th Anniversary · May 2025
Chef Josh and his team were AWESOME. He was very engaging, arrived before time, and ended on time. He explained every dish in full detail. Some guests are already requesting his information for future events. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a chef for a private event.
I simply can't say enough about our dining experience. After just visiting New Orleans, I wanted a French menu and every plate was incredible. Joshua is engaging and not overbearing — you still have an intimate dining moment. Everything was made fresh. I wished I could have tried everything on the menu.
The experience with Chef Joshua was wonderful from start to finish. He sent an extensive menu and was very accommodating with vegan options. I enjoyed the best tuna tartare I've ever had. He made us a surprise additional appetizer. I wouldn't hesitate to book Chef Joshua again.
It's like being in a high end restaurant without leaving your home. Chef Josh was very professional. I loved that the food was not only delicious but I didn't even have to clean a thing.
Chef Josh and his team were incredible. Passed appetizers that our guests could not get enough of, the main course was outstanding, and they left the kitchen spotless. Highly recommend this chef and his team.
Chef Joshua created an impeccable experience for my friend's 50th birthday. Every single detail was perfect — the presentation, the flavors, the service. He made what could have been an ordinary evening feel genuinely extraordinary.
Moments From Our Table
Executive Chef
Joshua Williams —
Where Technique
Meets Soul
Chef Joshua Williams didn't set out to work in restaurants. He set out to change how people experience food in their own homes — to make the finest culinary traditions accessible, intimate, and deeply personal.
Trained in classical French technique and shaped by years working alongside celebrated culinary talent across New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, Josh brings both rigorous precision and genuine warmth to every table. He believes the finest ingredient in any meal is the intention behind it.
At AfterToday Chefs, Joshua leads a culinary team built on the same philosophy: that private dining should feel like the chef has known you for years. That your guests should leave not just satisfied, but moved.
