Celebrity Private Chef
in Dallas
Cooking for the stars, quietly.
Knife & Faulk cooks for celebrities, public figures, executives and the families behind well-known names. You will not find their names on our website, in our photos or on our social media. That is the point.
Chef Marlene Faulkner leads every high-profile engagement herself, from a private dinner at home to a full event at a private estate. Her work has been featured in People, Brides and Good Morning America, and her kitchen runs on the same standard whether the guest list is four or four hundred.
Good to know
Discretion, built in
- We sign NDAs, and we are glad to sign yours.
- Client names, homes and guest lists never appear on our website, social media or marketing.
- No photos at your home or event unless you ask for them.
- A small, consistent team who already knows your preferences, so there are fewer new faces at your door.
What we cook for high-profile clients
- Private chef service at home, from weekly household meals to one perfect dinner.
- {'Luxury private dining': 'dinners and celebrations at residences and private estates.'}
- Visiting talent, touring guests and production teams who need a chef while they are in Dallas.
- Executive dinners and client entertaining where the guest list matters.
- Menus built around training plans, allergies and personal nutrition goals.

From one of our clients
We recently had the pleasure of booking Marlene through Knife & Faulk for a private chef experience, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The menu was completely customized to our tastes, and every dish was executed beautifully. We will absolutely be booking again!
