My name is Chef Ken, born and raised in Opelousas, Louisiana — the “Spice Capital of the World.” I come from a small South Louisiana town where food isn’t just fuel — it’s heritage, rhythm, and soul. Opelousas is steeped in Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco culture, and those flavors run deep in my blood.

From my earliest memories, I was standing beside my elders stirring pots, peeling shrimp, and soaking in stories as thick as a dark roux. I specialize in both Cajun and Creole cooking — from gumbo, étouffée, and jambalaya to red beans, smothered meats, and sauces that sing with spice. I believe in honoring tradition while letting my own flavors grow and evolve.
