The Meal They'll Talk About for Years

No. KoJoe is a private chef operation that follows strict kosher rules per each client's family specifications, but we are not certified by a hashgacha or any kashrus-supervising agency. Clients who require formal hashgacha supervision should engage a certified caterer instead. We are happy to work alongside a mashgiach the client provides.

Glatt Kosher is the highest standard of kosher meat preparation. It means the animal's lungs were found to be smooth and free of adhesions upon inspection. All meat and poultry we source comes from suppliers that meet this standard. Our kitchen rigorously follows kosher laws per each client's family specifications, though our operation is not under formal rabbinical supervision.

For holiday programs (Passover, Sukkot, etc.), we recommend booking 2-3 months in advance as these dates fill quickly. For private dinners and events, 3-4 weeks is typically sufficient. For large weddings or corporate events, the more lead time the better — ideally 2-3 months.

Absolutely. While we're based in Long Island, NY, we regularly cook in Los Angeles, Orlando, Miami, Vail (Colorado), New Jersey, Monroe, Monsey, and Arizona. We travel nationwide for multi-day programs and special events. Travel and accommodation are arranged as part of the event planning process.

Yes, dietary accommodations are central to what we do. Beyond kosher compliance, we regularly handle gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, and other dietary requirements. Every guest's needs are discussed during the consultation and accounted for in menu design.

Our holiday programs are fully turnkey. This includes menu planning for all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks), ingredient sourcing from kosher-certified suppliers, kosher preparation following each client's family specifications, cooking, plating, serving, and cleanup. We handle every detail so you can focus entirely on your family and guests.

Every event is unique, so pricing is customized based on guest count, menu complexity, duration, and location. After our initial consultation, you'll receive a detailed proposal with transparent pricing. There are no hidden fees.

Yes. For larger events, we coordinate full front-of-house service including servers, bartenders, and service staff. We can also arrange rentals for china, glassware, linens, and tableware. For intimate dinners, Chef Joseph handles everything personally.

For larger events such as weddings and multi-day programs, we offer private tasting sessions. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the quality firsthand and finalize your menu selections. Tasting details are discussed during the consultation.
