West University
A private chef for West University
A private chef serving West University Place and Southside — family dinners, milestone celebrations and weekly meal preparation by Chef Martin Fassi.
The neighborhood
Cooking in West University
West U runs on a school calendar. The dinners that get booked here cluster around the things families mark: birthdays, graduations, a dinner for the grandparents when they are in town, and the occasional evening where two couples want to eat properly without finding a sitter and a reservation.
Kitchens vary enormously — a 1930s bungalow galley and a new-build island are different jobs, and Chef Fassi plans the station before arriving rather than discovering it on the night. Either works; neither is a surprise.
There is also steady demand here for weekly meal preparation. Two working parents in the Medical Center or downtown, children with activities most evenings, and a genuine wish to eat well at home on a Tuesday.

FAQ
Private chef in West University — questions
Can you work in a small older kitchen?
Yes. Chef Fassi brings his own equipment and plans the station in advance. A 1930s galley kitchen is a constraint, not an obstacle.
Do you cook for children as well?
Yes, and without a separate “kids menu” that feels like an afterthought. The same dish is usually adjusted rather than replaced.
Do you serve Southside Place and Braeswood?
Yes — both sit inside the standard service area alongside West University Place.
“Having dinner prepared in our home made the entire night feel special. The menu was exactly what we wanted, and the experience felt completely effortless.”
