We had the good fortune of connecting with Chef Kev and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chef Kev, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
Well it kinda of started by accident. I had just retired from Boxing and if you know anything about Boxing, you have to always make weight so I wasn’t eating like I would want to so once I did, I just started cooking all the time mainly barbecuing and I would post it online.(social media) and people would request it so one time I did an event and it kinda of took off from there becoming a business. Because people were always wanting me to do catering for their events.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
What sets me apart is that I have no culinary training and also no business management degrees but I’ve ran a successful business. Going on four years now. It was not always easy but being that I’ve always had drive in determination. I made it work. Everything I did was self driven. I haven’t taken any business loans or anything out like that was all self funded by hard work.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Yes, I would definitely would say there is a person. They helped me a lot in focusing in homing in my skills to use in a positive manner without them. I don’t really know how far I would’ve been able to take this. They always encourage me to do what I liked to do and turn it into a business.
