The Curated Chefs

The Curated Chefs is Chef Chris Litts’s personal chef business, based in Savannah and working across the greater Savannah area and on Hilton Head Island. Litts trained at Schenectady County Community College, cooked at the Culinary Institute of America’s Greystone campus in Napa Valley, and ran the kitchen as chef de cuisine at the Michelin-starred Martini House. He later co-founded a restaurant of his own, helped open another in Alabama, and moved to Savannah in 2022, starting The Curated Chefs the following year.

The cooking borrows from global flavors, and menus are adjusted for vegan, vegetarian, allergy and religious needs. Unusually for a private chef, prices are published. The Curated is a four-course plated dinner at $100 a person with a $500 minimum. The Casual is three plated courses at $90 a person, $450 minimum. The Low Country Brunch is three courses at $80 a person, $400 minimum, and The Cocktail Party is passed hors d’oeuvres at $75 a person, $750 minimum. Every package includes the shopping, cooking in your kitchen, plated service and cleanup.

Testimonials on his site include a Hilton Head vacation group of 11 who wanted an adults-only dinner after the children were in bed, along with small weddings and a New Year’s Eve party for 40.
