    About Ken

    Building Success Through Food & Relationships

    My climb to the top in business taught me one key thing: strong relationships are the secret sauce. And what better way to build those bonds than over a fantastic meal? But booking amazing chefs or securing exclusive dining experiences was a constant headache.

    So, I did what any results-oriented leader would do: I created a solution.

    This solution became a national catering company designed for busy professionals who value relationships as much as results. It wasn’t a smooth path – life throws curveballs (think mortgages, family, pandemics!). But these experiences only strengthened the vision.

    Now, we’re here with a cutting-edge business model that tackles the biggest challenges in the food and beverage industry. We’re not just about serving great food but crafting unforgettable experiences that solidify those crucial relationships.

    Here’s the bottom line:

    Empowering Chefs

    We help top chefs maximize their skills and earnings, without the crazy hours.

    Fixing Industry Problems

    We tackle issues like staffing shortages and low profits, creating a more sustainable future for everyone.

    Building a Better Food World

    We want a thriving industry with happy chefs, successful businesses, and a safety net for tough times.
