Chef Goes Viral for Sharing Her Day-to-Day Life as a Private Gourmet Chef in NYC

We've all seen the shows with chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Guy Fieri. These reality show star chefs really gave the world a taste into what it's like being a chef… lol Let's be real, no they didn't. These guys have shown us what a chef one a reality show is like. Anybody who has worked in a kitchen knows that yes, chefs are usually feisty perfectionist who will yell at you, but at the end of the day they're pretty chill and just wanna make creative recipes and chill. TikToker Meredith aka @wishbonekitchen is giving viewers at taste into a chiller more realistic side of the kitchen.

Meredith might not be traveling around the world trying unique dishes from different cultures or yelling at mediocre chefs to get their sh*t together, but she is cooking up a storm. As a professional private chef in the bustling metropolis of NYC, her job seems like a dream. 

“Come to work with me”

(Eggplant ragu, gluten-free pasta, ricotta salata/ chicken congee with Thai pork meatballs/ crispy seared salmon with sesame dressing/ steamed bok choy with oyster sauce)

She shares scenes of her running around the city that never sleeps, which is already enough to get a lot of eager viewers. But what really has her going viral is her mouthwatering recipes that she gets to create as a private chef. She works with clients creating meal prep, she will cook for private dinner parties, or she'll just be hired at some rich person's apartment to be the chef for the day. 

“Another day in the office”

#Foodtok is already a huge community, of course—it doesn't matter what side of the Internet you're on, there are tons of people on the prowl for a good recipe. Meredith shares her recipes and then some. You'd think from movies and stories that being a private chef in NYC would be just as bad as being Ann Hathaway's character in The Devil Wears Prada. But Meredith makes it seem like a dream.
