Chef's Table at Home
By Dropping Beets

I will meticulously select local produce and ingredients to create a dining experience tailored just for you. My chef's table is about preparing, cooking and sharing an incredible multi-course meal for you, and your friends and family.


If you have specific likes or dislikes (i.e., we don't like lamb, we love spicy food, etc.) let me know if the "Notes" section, along with any allergies or dietary requirements, when making your booking. I will handle the rest seamlessly! We can also collaborate directly after booking.

You can adjust the following selections now or later (up to 10 days in advance of your event).

        It's Good to Be Here...

        Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Joe Benevento, and I like to rock the funky beets. I'm also a fan of kitchen alchemy, and have spent many years of my life making this magic. Kitchen magic can improve everyone’s day. We all win. That is, unless you didn’t get a plate.


        Everyone deserves to live in good health. This begins with a diet of natural, whole foods, prepared with loving attention. Food is medicine, and when treated as such, it can heal the mind, body and spirit.

        Dropping Beets is based around this principle: Meals prepared in or for your home, with the love and attention that your family deserves. Wellness begins at home and the greatest joy comes from this healing principle. After over 20 years in restaurants, I have cooked in a variety of "houses" and found some basic simple truths.


        No matter how simple the ingredients are, if prepared with attention and care, the dish will satisfy the soul. The proof is in the bite, when time stops, and nothing else exists but taste and savor. Striving to stop time is a pretty good way to spend any day. Life works best when we slow down occasionally, and stop to smell the spice, taste the sauce, and drink more water.
