About
Cooking has been a passion of mine since I parted ways from the military in the year 2014. I received a Purple Heart while serving in the military. This passion of cooking saved my life, when PTSD from the military controlled my life. I came to the realization that cooking in the kitchen created a pristine aura, that became a passion. While investing in my passion, I proudly completed Culinary school at Johnson and Wales University Charlotte 2019. Started a company with my classmates/partners 2 months later. Can I share my passion with you and your family ? Reach out and let’s create a memorable moment together.

OMG!!!!! It was a great pleasure to work with Chef KD and his team. Chef KD professionalism, dedication and commitment to our family weekend was beyond my expectations. From our first conversation I gave him my vision and he made it an amazing experience. He is an extraordinary chef with purpose, passion and perfection to his craft and talent. The food was amazingly delicious and the displays were detailed with the most beautiful decorations that balanced the ambiance. My guest was pleased with the service provided. One guest wanted hot sauce and he made it within minutes and everyone wanted the recipe. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Chef KD for making this weekend an amazing experience. We will continuously work with Chef KD and his team if I could give a million stars I would ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽⭐️👍🏽👍🏽
