PB Cooks

PB Cooks is a Charleston, South Carolina, private chef service that brings the experience of fine dining into clients’ homes. Founded by chef and owner Phil Brenner, the business pairs personalized hospitality with fresh ingredients sourced from the Lowcountry and a focus on each guest’s preferences. Brenner trained at The French Culinary Institute and gained professional experience at New York restaurants including ABC Kitchen, as well as Charleston’s FIG and The Ordinary.

PB Cooks offers restaurant-quality, multi-course dinners for private gatherings. Rather than relying on preset or seasonal menus, the chef collaborates with clients to create a custom menu tailored to the occasion, guest count, tastes, and dietary restrictions. The service can accommodate a range of needs, including vegan dining. PB Cooks manages the process from menu planning and grocery shopping through preparation, cooking, serving, and cleanup, so hosts can enjoy the meal with their guests. The company also invites guests to interact with the chef and learn about dishes and cooking techniques during the event.
