I would like the script to run without any user input. Since the .dmg
packages require root permissions, they stop the script for the user to
enter their password. This could be alleviated by running the script with
sudo. However, Homebrew requires that it be run as non-root, so I cannot
run the script with sudo.
You can either enable passwordless sudo by modifying /etc/sudoers (at least
for the life of the chef run) or sudo once before running chef, which will
allow you to continue to sudo without a password for the length of your
sudo timeout, which I believe is 5 minutes by default.

Thanks, the passwordless sudo idea might be the best option. But what about
the Homebrew problem? If I called the Chef script with sudo, Homebrew would
deliver an error. It won't be run as root.

I'm saying run chef as your user. Just sudo at some point before, like a
bootstrap script that also installs chef or a small wrapper, to modify
/etc/sudoers. Assuming you don't want to leave passwordless ssh around, you
can change it back with a recipe at the end of the run.
Ranjib's suggestion might be better, though. That configuration wasn't in
the homebrew cookbook last time I used it!
