Jon was amazing to work with. We came from similar backgrounds and were able to speak the same language when it came to food. My family loved the spread that he made for us and took the rest home. I have nothing left for myself in the house! I wish I had photos but was too busy digging in. Will definitely have him again for our future parties.

About Jon’s Meze & Flame
My focus is authenticity and quality. I specialize in handcrafted mezes and Mediterranean dishes that are prepared from scratch, using fresh, high-quality ingredients — from premium olive oils to carefully selected herbs and spices. I never rush the process. Every dish is made with intention, balance, and flavor. Whether you're looking for a full meze spread, Mediterranean wings and kebabs, or perfectly cooked sous vide steaks, you’ll always get food that is executed with care and consistency. I also offer healthy and diet-friendly options without sacrificing taste, so you can enjoy bold Mediterranean flavors in a way that fits your lifestyle. If you want a chef who brings real craftsmanship, freshness, and passion to your table, I’ll make sure your experience is memorable, delicious, and stress-free. I offer ongoing personal chef and weekly meal preparation services focused on Mediterranean, Greek, and Turkish cuisine, including meze-style dishes. One-time or special event requests are considered selectively and are priced differently due to planning, preparation, and platform lead fees. Services are offered within a limited service area, and requests outside this area may not be accepted. Reviewing service details, budget, and location before reaching out helps ensure a good fit.
Reviews
Jon and his team were absolutely amazing! Not only was the food fabulous but their service was phenomenal. My team was so impressed that we will definitely be hiring him again.
Jon was absolutely incredible. I hired him to prepare a Mediterranean meze-style dinner for my best friend’s bachelorette party in Chicago. As my first time visiting the city and hiring a private chef, I could not have asked for a better experience. Despite navigating an unfamiliar Airbnb kitchen with unknown equipment, Jon executed an elevated, flawless meal for our group of 11. He seamlessly accommodated all dietary restrictions, and the portion sizes were incredibly generous. Having delicious leftovers for the rest of our bachelorette weekend was a fantastic bonus. Throughout the entire process, Jon’s communication was stellar, and he was highly accommodating of every request. The bride was completely surprised and thrilled with every aspect of the evening. I am immensely grateful for his outstanding service and highly recommend him for any event.
Delicious meals prepared with fresh ingredients and meticulous care. Chef Jon Meze consistently delivers flavorful dishes and thoughtfully considers food allergies and special accommodations for every meal. He takes great care in every detail and is truly delightful to work with—warm, accommodating, and easy to coordinate with. Highly recommended.
