National USPCA Personal Chef Day July 16

July 6, 2009 - PRLog -- North Bellmore, NY – National USPCA Personal Chef Day July 16th was begun to bring notice to a special segment of the service industry. Each chef owns and operates his or her own independent business and will work personally with up to 20 unique clients. Personal chefs prepare custom meals for a wide range of clients and situations. Clients using this special service represent active households, seniors and individuals with restrictive or special dietary needs.

United States Personal Chef Association personal chefs are open for business and ready to serve you. If you are still trying to get supper on the table after working long hours and are worried about nutritious and delicious meals for you and your family, help the industry and yourself celebrate by hiring a professional for your own kitchen. The direct tangible benefit to hiring your own chef will be the time saved in the actual meal preparation and the associated shopping, while still enjoying palate specific meals at a surprisingly reasonable cost.
