Kitchit, A Full-service Premium Culinary Event Resource, Launches In New York City May 1, 2012

Kitchit, the culinary community that connects members with the most talented and creative local chefs to craft individualized, full-service "bespoke" dining experiences in their homes, is expanding to its first East Coast city-New York-on May 1, 2012. The web-based service allows guests to work one-on-one with the area's finest chefs, including Chef Dan Kluger of the James Beard Award Winning ABC Kitchen, to customize a private event in the comfort of their home. With the debut of Kitchit in New York, members will have exclusive access to tailor-make their own events that are effortlessly organized by the Kitchit team, allowing hosts to sit back and enjoy their party rather than worrying about the details.

"We're taking the stress and guess-work out of the dinner party and making it possible for our members to have exclusive access to the best chefs in the region for their get-togethers," says Kitchit Founder and CEO, Brendan Marshall. "Through our site, you can easily find a stellar chef that fits within your event needs and budget. Then, we take care of everything - from soup-to-nuts - so on the day of the party, you're socializing with your friends rather than worrying about rentals or clean-up."

Kitchit's growing community of professional chefs available for private and in-home dining events in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles includes Dan Kluger of ABC Kitchen, Jason Lawless of Tocqueville, Floyd Cardoz of North End Grill, Harold Dieterle of Perilla, Traci des Jardins of Jardiniere, Christopher Kostow of The Restaurant at Meadowood, Nyesha Arrington of Wilshire, and Casey Lane of Tasting Kitchen.

Kitchit provides all of the necessary online tools for members to customize their full-service, in-home event by inputting details such as target price, headcount, date, and type of event into the website search engine, which then displays results of chefs who fit the criteria. Kitchit further assists with the planning of an unparalleled bespoke culinary experience through the coordination of rentals, d�cor, and invitations sent via its website. The roster of chefs allows members to efficiently plan a casual get-together or the most elaborate affair.

"Whether it's a clam bake on the beach or an intimate dinner for a close group of friends, we'll help you throw the ultimate culinary event," says Marshall.
