Chef Kev’s latest endeavor centers around the creation of the Food Studio at Pittsburgh Yards in Atlanta, GA—a dynamic project aimed at fostering community, promoting plant-based nutrition, and supporting local entrepreneurs. Situated in Southwest Atlanta, the Food Studio will serve as a shared commercial kitchen, offering flexible membership options tailored to plant-based food innovators and hospitality businesses seeking production space.

Through its focus on plant-based nutrition and provision of infrastructure and entrepreneurial guidance, the Food Studio endeavors to catalyze economic empowerment while enhancing access to healthier dietary options within the target community.

This initiative represents just one facet of Chef Kev’s commitment to advancing plant-based cuisine and advocating for food justice and equity, particularly within communities of color. As a co-founder of The Urban Oak Initiative based in Atlanta, Georgia, Kevin and his team are actively engaged in addressing food access disparities in South Atlanta, including the so-called “Stadium Neighborhoods,” where fresh and nutritious food remains elusive despite the city’s broader economic prosperity.

Beyond his community work, Kevin is renowned as a celebrity plant-based chef, sought after for his culinary expertise and commitment to sustainability.

Through partnerships with organizations like Cook Unity, a leading chef collective, Chef Kev and his team deliver thousands of meals monthly nationwide, envisioning a culinary landscape liberated from the constraints of traditional restaurant models. Their goal is to democratize access to gourmet plant-based cuisine, transcending geographical boundaries to share their passion with a global audience.

Residing in Atlanta, Georgia, Kevin finds balance amidst his bustling schedule by immersing himself in nature, practicing yoga, staying active, and indulging his passion for music—all while cherishing precious moments with his beloved wife and two daughters.
