I started MileHighCook because I kept seeing the same problem: clients booking "private chefs" through marketplace platforms and getting completely different experiences every time — different chefs, different quality, different standards. No accountability and no consistency.
MileHighCook was built to solve that. Every booking — whether it's a Tuesday night dinner party in Denver or a 100-person wedding reception in Vail — is overseen by me personally. Every chef who works under the MileHighCook brand is trained to the same standards I developed during my time at the Culinary Institute of America and sharpened in professional kitchens before going private.
The result is a brand that clients trust and return to. 4.8 stars across 65+ reviews. A Food & Wine feature. Repeat bookings from clients across Colorado, Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming who know that when they book MileHighCook, they know exactly what they're getting.
Exceptional private chef experiences aren't improvised — they're the product of rigorous culinary training, real kitchen experience, and the discipline to execute at the highest level consistently.
MileHighCook isn't a one-chef operation hoping to get bigger. It's a scalable brand with systems, trained supporting chefs, and a 30+ market footprint across four states — all operating under a single standard of quality.
The brand model is simple: clients book MileHighCook. Steve oversees every engagement. Supporting chefs are assigned and trained to MileHighCook standards on the backend. Consistent quality, consistent experience, every time.
MileHighCook is not just private dinners. The brand covers the full spectrum of luxury culinary experiences — from intimate in-home chef services to large-scale catering, brand activations, and experiential dining concepts.

MileHighCook gift cards for private chef experiences — the gift that no one has and everyone wants. Available in any denomination.
The private chef and catering market is full of platforms that match you with whoever is available. TakeAChef, Thumbtack, and similar marketplaces aggregate independent chefs of wildly varying quality under a single interface — you never really know what you're getting until the night of.
MileHighCook is built differently. It's a brand, not a marketplace. Clients book MileHighCook — the brand, the standard, the experience. Steve oversees every engagement and ensures it meets the same quality bar, whether it's a Tuesday night dinner for four in Denver or a 150-person wedding in Vail.
Supporting chefs are trained to MileHighCook's standards before they ever touch a client engagement. The result is something the marketplace model can't offer: genuine consistency across markets, events, and occasions.
That's what 4.8 stars across 65+ reviews says. That's what repeat clients across four states confirm. And that's what makes MileHighCook the right choice for clients who won't accept variability when it comes to something as important as food.
4.8 stars across 65+ verified reviews on Google, Yelp, Thumbtack, and WeddingWire. Luxury private chef experiences across Colorado, Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming.
Every MileHighCook experience is backed by Executive Chef Steve Ingber and a team trained to the same exacting standards — whether you're hosting an intimate dinner for two in a Vail ski chalet, a 150-person wedding reception in Denver, or a corporate dinner in Scottsdale.
Unlike marketplace platforms where quality varies by individual chef, MileHighCook is a brand. That consistency is what our reviews reflect — not a lucky booking, but a repeatable standard across every market we serve.
Our clients span Denver, Aspen, Park City, Jackson Hole, and beyond. All-inclusive pricing. Custom menus. Proposals returned within 24 hours.
Verified reviews from real clients across Google, Yelp, Thumbtack, and WeddingWire. Every experience is exactly what it looks like — no planted reviews, no incentivized posts.
"Starting with phenomenal flavors, and having amazing professionalism throughout, Chef Steve created an amazing dinner for me and my family. He prepared buffalo cauliflower, Korean bbq chicken, potatoes, and lava cakes. He showed up ready to go and cleaned everything up, leaving us just to enjoy the meal and the vibes. Would be silly to go with someone else."
"We had an incredible experience with MileHighCook Chef Steve Ingber. From start to finish, the night was absolutely top tier. The Korean Fried Chicken completely stole the show — crispy on the outside, insanely juicy on the inside. The Crack Brussels Sprouts lived up to the name. And the Molten Lava Cake to finish? Rich, warm, gooey, and exactly what you want."
"AMAZING customer service, chef was so lovely and made the entire friend group so happy, food was spectacular. We even had to change locations last minute from Aspen to Vail which are not near each other and we were still accommodated, 10/10 recommend!!"
"We used MileHighCook for our wedding this August the food was AMAZING!! Steve was easy to communicate with. He helped us put together the best winner winner chicken dinner for our wedding of 150 guests with ease. 10/10 would use again. If you want easy and yummy you should definitely go with this guy!!"
"Hired Steve for the last evening of our ski trip. We settled on a mixed cuisine 4-course meal — wedge salad, tomato bisque soup, bang bang shrimp, Mediterranean kebabs, and churro cheesecake or chocolate lava cake for dessert. It was a wonderful, relaxing experience. Steve also fully cleaned up after himself. I would certainly reach back out to Steve the next time we're in the CO area."
"We booked MileHighCook for my sister's birthday and it was the best decision! The chef made the whole evening feel so special with a custom menu that looked stunning and tasted even better. The service was smooth, friendly, and stress-free, letting us enjoy the party while everything was taken care of. Truly a 5-star experience that made her birthday unforgettable."
"We recently hired MileHighCook for our party, and it was absolutely amazing! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — everyone kept talking about it all night. The chef was super professional, friendly, and made sure every guest was happy. It truly felt like a restaurant experience at home! Highly recommend for any event or celebration."
"We booked Mile High Cook last-minute after our original plans fell through, and it turned out to be the best decision we made all weekend. Chef Steve was so easy to work with and very flexible. He created a custom menu that worked for everyone in our group (including two picky eaters and one gluten-free), and every single plate was a hit."
"Steve cooked an engagement dinner for me and my fiancée, and we felt like we were eating at a 5 star restaurant! For the appetizer, he made a roasted vegetable medley with harissa and pesto, and then smoked chicken breast for the entrée. He was attentive to detail, listened to our dietary restrictions, and professional throughout the entire process."
"We had Steve cater a Summer Labor Day Party at our home on September 1, 2024 and it was a fabulous experience. We had more than 70 guests and Steve's team made a beautiful dinner and his bartenders were fantastic. We would strongly recommend hiring Steve as your event catering service — they handle everything professionally and personally."
"Steve was great. I told him what I was thinking — Mexican taco buffet — and he provided a list of ideas for me to choose from. He arrived at our house with all the food and ingredients, took over the kitchen, and put out the buffet. He did an excellent job cleaning up the kitchen. The food was fantastic."
"Chef Steve was wonderful, he truly delivered! I surprised my wife for her 35th birthday and she was beyond impressed and grateful for the experience. Chef Steve was so personable let alone a phenomenal cook. Would highly recommend him! Thank you Chef Steve!"
"MileHighCook and Chef Steve delivered an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely amazing — flavorful, fresh, and presented beautifully. Chef Steve went above and beyond to make our event perfect. Highly recommend MileHighCook for any special occasion!"
"AMAZING customer service, chef was so lovely and made the entire friend group so happy, food was spectacular. Everything about it was highly recommendable! We even had to change locations last minute from Aspen to Vail which are not near each other and we were still accommodated, 10/10 recommend!!"
"We had an incredible experience with Mile High Cook Chef Steve Ingber. From start to finish, the night was absolutely top tier."
The full menu that evening: Buffalo Cauliflower Bites to start — better than most wings, with perfect heat and crispy texture. Korean Fried Chicken for the main — crispy outside, insanely juicy inside, flavor balance dialed in perfectly. Parmesan Crusted Potatoes and "Crack" Brussels Sprouts on the side — the kind of sides that don't play backup. And Molten Lava Cake to close — rich, warm, gooey, exactly what you want at the end of a great meal. This is what a MileHighCook dinner looks like.
