Executive perks: enjoying what you've earned.

• Author: Finney, Lynne D.

How about a private chef? Kelly Anderson and his wife live in his employer's ski-in, ski-out home in Deer Valley. For Anderson, formerly a restaurant chef, "cooking for a house full of people is no big deal." He gets up at 6:00, prepares a breakfast buffet and soup for lunch, and hits the ski slopes. Back at 11:30 to fix sandwiches and serve the soup, he's on skis again until late afternoon, when he buys groceries for a gourmet dinner for his "family" and guests.

Anderson specializes in Pacific Rim cuisine: fresh fish and vegetables with French flair and Asian flavors, such as ginger and soy sauce. But his "favorite dishes are home style." He recently cooked a baby-back rib barbecue with appetizers, salads and mashed potatoes for 250 guests in Deer Valley. The tab? $6,500, not including liquor, servers and bar staff.

Although Anderson wouldn't disclose his salary, his perks include use of the private movie theater and gym. The Deer Valley home is his employer's second, so Anderson has ample time to play. Occasionally, he cooks for other employers, who pay from $30 to $150 per person per meal, not counting the cost of food.

Not ready for a private chef? Let Mountain Express deliver elegant takeout from Park City restaurants ranging from French, Chinese and Vietnamese to steaks, chicken and burgers. The fee for delivery in the Park City area is just 20 percent of each restaurant's regular prices. Founder Liz DeSimone says some execs order $1,000 worth of food, usually filet mignon and chateaubriand, and let Mountain Express choose the rest. "Some people want food delivered to their hot tubs and tempt drivers to join them. We had to forbid drivers from getting into the tubs."

Deluxe transportation

Relax in a limo. DLSS Limousine provides luxury transportation in Salt Lake City and Park City. Most executives order smaller limos, while stars like Madonna relax in owner Deano Herrera's 40-foot stretch models, with TV, CD player and bar--at $159 an hour. Herrera recently supplied oxygen for an aging rock group to insure a peppy performance. But most requests are surprisingly modest, like Evian water or Diet Coke. When Tina Turner came to town, she just wanted a Suburban at a mere $85 an hour.
