A Culinary Escape in Ohio’s Amish Country
Private In-Home Dining with Chef Cameron Krahel
Imagine arriving at your Amish Country lodge, the quiet hills settling into dusk as the aroma of roasted herbs and simmering stock drifts from your kitchen. You haven’t lifted a finger — yet a private chef is plating your first course.
Welcome to Amish Country Lodges’ Private Chef Experience, an exclusive offering that transforms your stay into an unforgettable evening of fine dining, hosted by Chef Cameron Krahel.
Meet Chef Cameron Krahel
Chef Cameron brings a modern approach to classic comfort. With years of culinary experience and a passion for locally sourced ingredients, he designs multi-course menus that celebrate the region’s farms and flavors. His dishes are both artful and approachable — elegant enough for a celebration, yet warm enough to feel like home.
From the first greeting to the final dessert, Chef Cameron curates an evening tailored entirely to your group’s preferences, dietary needs, and style of gathering.
The Experience
Your private dinner begins long before the first bite. After you share your preferences, Chef Cameron crafts a custom menu that might include:
- Pumpkin Bisque with toasted seeds and cream
- Southern-style Shrimp & Grits with a touch of smoked paprika
- Roast Lamb over house-made gnocchi
- Scallops atop acorn-squash risotto
- Classic Beef Wellington with demi-glace
- Butternut Squash Ice Cream, churned fresh to finish
On the evening of your dinner, he and his team handle every detail — preparation, service, and cleanup — so you can simply enjoy the meal and the company.
Designed for Gatherings
This intimate experience is ideal for:
- Family reunions and milestone celebrations
- Couples’ retreats and girls’ weekends
- Corporate or team getaways seeking something memorable
Chef Cameron accommodates groups of eight to twenty guests, adjusting the menu and service style to fit your occasion. Dietary restrictions and allergies are handled with care — every guest can fully enjoy the evening.
