I'm Kenneth, Chef, Author & Chopped Champion
Kenneth’s from New Orleans, Louisiana, and is passionate about good food! He defines his style of cooking as Southern Creole. Southern Creole is a cooking style richly influenced by Native American, West African, Louisiana, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Acadian (Cajuns), English, West Indies, Mexican flavors, and techniques. In other words, a gumbo pot of flavor!
