Celebrity Chef Spills on Client’s $2,000 Pizza

Move over, regular food delivery apps; we’re serving up something else entirely. Brooke Baevsky, a.k.a. Chef Bae recently spilled some serious culinary tea to The Economist. And yep, it’s as extra as you’re imagining: one of her “celebrity client[s] wants a $2,000 pizza,” she explained.

If your brain just short-circuited thinking about dropping two grand on a pie, take a breath. This isn’t just any pizza. Chef Bae is not just tossing dough; she’s crafting an edible masterpiece with premium ingredients, creativity, and enough flair to make your local pizzeria jealous. It’s extravagant, yes; but also kind of inspiring. Pizza can be art. And apparently, it can also be a small investment.

When Pizza Becomes a Showstopper

It seems like Chef Bae treats every order like a chance to flex her culinary skills. Forget pepperoni and extra cheese; we’re talking truffles, caviar, and maybe a dash of edible gold. But here’s the thing; she’s not just throwing money at fancy toppings. Everything she makes reflects the client’s personality, tastes, and vibe, which makes it feel like more than food… it’s an experience.

Watching Chef Bae work, it’s clear she balances luxury with fun. The $2,000 pizza isn’t intimidating or pretentious; it’s playful, bold, and a little bit outrageous. And honestly, if we had that kind of cash, we might just order one ourselves… or at least start pretending we did to impress our friends.

From Celebs to Viral Fans

It seems like the rich and famous are really taking private chefs seriously. “It costs around $50,000 to hire one of [The Culinistas] chefs for the season,” The Economist reports. “The rich and famous are seeking out chefs they see on their Instagram feeds. In turn, private cheffing—a career long seen as inferior to chefs de cuisine—is being taken more seriously by culinarians.” If that’s the world we’re living in, Chef Bae is basically a rock star in the kitchen.

But it’s not all about the big bucks. Chef Bae also has moments that feel completely relatable, like when Emma Roberts gushed over her homemade ranch in an Instagram post (seen below). 

Yep, the same chef behind $2,000 pizzas is also winning hearts with a simple, crave-worthy condiment. It seems like that’s the secret sauce (pun intended) of Chef Bae’s appeal: she can do the over-the-top and the everyday, and both feel special.

Whether it’s pizzas that cost more than a weekend getaway or dressing that makes a salad unforgettable, Chef Bae is proving that passion, creativity, and a little audacity can take food to another level. And it seems like she’s just getting started. We’re watching, drooling, and low-key plotting how to get an invite to her kitchen.
