I hae a suggestion... sort of depends upon the demographic of your home turf, if it is affluent enough to support this...
PERSONAL CHEF!
Not catering, for which you need a catering license and a location separate from your home kitchen.
Personal chefs go to peoples' homes and use ingredients that the client provides, in THEIR space, to get around pesky board of health regulations.
I have gone to a couple parties catered by personal chefs, and it was wonderful, like going to the filming of a TV cooking show!
With the buyout, you could get enough time to get set up and get together with an agent (hahaha seriously, they have agents who do the advertising!).
I know how shitty it is to be a restaurant chef and not get home until 2am, 6 or even 7 days a week.
Just something to think about. It would give you a fabulous outlet for your creativity.
