Benjamin Carter for Merle K (Mudhole) Smith

Every chill box that leaves for CDV is sealed at 2°C, logged for temperature at departure and again at handover, and travels in refrigerated transport with no intermediate stop. Benjamin Carter oversees the cold-chain discipline from kitchen to cabin, signs off each order before it is packed, and remains the direct contact through delivery. If a slot is delayed, the order is held under refrigeration and the handover is rescheduled; if a dietary requirement is added after the quote, the menu is rewritten and repriced the same day. You work with the chef who cooks your food, not a sales desk.

Cooked for your slot, packed for your galley.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery and cold-chain discipline at Cordova

A sealed chill box leaves the kitchen preparing your order in a temperature-controlled vehicle, badged driver cleared for airside access at CDV, and is handed to your FBO or delivered ramp-side to the aircraft door at the time you set. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering both travel the same cold-chain run, and every item is logged for temperature at handover. For large-cabin departures, high loader capability is confirmed at the time of order, serving galley doors at height where available. The seal is broken only when your crew opens it.

Building the private jet menu for cabin conditions at CDV

When a dish is built for service at altitude, every element is chosen for what it will become in a pressurised, dry cabin rather than what it was on the pass. Seasoning is lifted, sauces are thickened beyond what looks right on the ground, and anything relying on a crisp surface is plated separately. A galley reheat subjects a main to fifteen minutes of uneven convection heat, so proteins are slightly undercooked before packing, and starches that collapse when reheated are replaced with those that hold. Your inflight menu reads the same; the kitchen preparing your order engineers each plate so it arrives as intended.
