Chef Sebastian White creates intimate, one-of-a-kind dining experiences where every dish tells a story and every meal is unforgettable. With a background in psychotherapy, he brings a deep understanding of human connection to the table—transforming private dining into an immersive experience that nourishes both the body and soul. Recognized as one of “The 6 Best Private Chefs in Chicago” by Jeancarlos Hill (Food & Drink, Guides, February 25, 2025), his talent continues to captivate the Windy City.
Rooted in farm-to-table cooking and shaped by Chicago’s vibrant culinary scene, Chef Sebastian curates elevated dining experiences that emphasize seasonality, bold flavors, and artistic presentation. Whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a multi-course celebration, his menus are crafted with precision and purpose.
Beyond the plate, Sebastian is dedicated to empowering youth in systemically oppressed communities. A portion of all bookings supports The Evolved Network, a nonprofit he founded that empowers youth through re-imaging what therapeutic possibilities could be through the farm to table process.
At Sebastian’s Kitchen, we craft thoughtful and immersive dining experiences that celebrate you and your guests. Through every dish, we aspire to:
Foster connection and intimacy, creating moments that linger beyond the meal.
Inspire and nourish, leaving you fulfilled in more ways than one.
Empower youth by supporting The Evolved Network, where food transforms lives and nurtures potential.
More than just a meal, each dining experience carries meaning—honoring the craft, deepening relationships, and supporting a greater cause.
