About
Barley Mule Private Chef delivers an unforgettable, fully tailored dining experience wherever your occasion takes place. Led by Chef Isaacs, a passionate culinary artist with deep Southern roots and a love for bourbon-inspired cuisine, Barley Mule brings the restaurant to you, crafting personalized meals in the comfort of your home, cabin, or event space. In addition to private chef services, Barley Mule offers complete retreat solutions, coordinating venues, cabins, activities, transportation, and group meals. We handle every detail so you have one trusted partner managing all your needs.
From romantic dinners for two to multi-course celebrations, Chef Isaacs designs each menu with care, using fresh ingredients and bold, creative flavors. Whether you’re hosting a family vacation in the Smoky Mountains, celebrating a milestone, or planning an intimate gathering with friends, she transforms your space into a private dining destination. Guests can relax and enjoy the evening while she handles everything — from menu planning and grocery shopping to cooking, plating, and cleanup.
Her signature experience, the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Dinner, celebrates the rich flavors of the South with a four-course meal infused with bourbon pairings. This one-of-a-kind dining event allows guests to explore how bourbon’s distinct notes can elevate savory dishes and decadent desserts alike. For travelers staying in local Airbnbs or vacation rentals, this experience offers a memorable way to enjoy fine dining without leaving the property.
Beyond her bourbon menus, Chef Isaacs offers a wide variety of customizable private chef services — including brunches, holiday dinners, multi-day retreat catering, and themed culinary events. Each menu is fully personalized to meet your preferences, dietary needs, and the tone of your occasion. Vegan, gluten-free, allergy-friendly, and health-conscious menus are all available upon request.
Chef Isaacs brings not just exquisite food, but also a personal touch to every table she serves. Her meals are more than just dishes — they’re stories inspired by her travels, her Southern heritage, and her love for bringing people together through food.
