Chef Aram Reed is a professionally trained and certified personal chef who provides private dining and catering experiences for companies and private homes. Services include Premier Private Dining, family meal delivery, to-go dining through the Chefs Table Dining Series, and hands-on cooking classes. Meals can be delivered one to three times a week, and the kitchen accommodates dietary restrictions and food allergies. Bookings are available seven days a week with a three-day lead time, and delivery is available beyond Chicago, with fees applying roughly 10 miles outside the city. Electronic gift cards, which do not expire, can be applied toward private dining, meal delivery, and cooking classes. The business holds a rating of 4.90.

Chef Aram's approach centers on giving clients back their free time while handling the cooking himself. For private events, he arrives early to prep so guests are not left waiting, and he handles the dishes afterward. His cooking classes are hands-on, built around preparing dishes with friends. The Chefs Table Dining Series offers to-go dining in which a four-course dinner is prepared and packed to be easily reheated at home, so a birthday dinner or gathering can go ahead with meals delivered to each guest. Menus have included dishes such as steamed mussels, roasted beet salad, steak au poivre, pistachio-crusted sea bass, braised short ribs with sweet potato puree, butternut squash soup, and creme brulee. Weekly meal delivery orders are accepted Thursday through Saturday for Monday delivery.
