Why FoodzByKinG

Anyone can cater. Chef King throws the party.


01

You do nothing

We bring everything, cook it in front of you, and clean it all up. You invite the people and open the door.

02

It's a show

Live fire, tricks, and personality — Southern soul and Cajun technique. Entertainment you can eat.

03

Your night, your way

Every guest builds the plate they actually want — and the top private chef table comes captured, photographer and edited film included.

04

Handled, end to end

One team, one plan, one point of contact. You focus on your guests; we handle the rest.

The show, in motion

This is what your backyard turns into.

The chef behind the flame

The chef your guests will be talking about.


Chef Michael King brings Southern roots and Cajun technique to a live-fire show unlike anything else in the Inland Empire — and a 2026 B.L.A.C. Oscars nomination for Best Entrepreneur and Best Black Business to back it up. He doesn't just cook your event. He performs it.

What clients say

The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, prepared as we desired! The cooking process was engaging, fun, creative and the staff was attentive, very friendly and warm. The ambiance was lively and relaxing — perfect for my birthday dinner on the patio! Highly recommended!

Everyone had such a great time with your entertainment and everything was delicious! You and your crew were very organized — especially dealing with lots of children! Will definitely book you again on the next party… or I should just make one just so we can book you again soon!

We literally had nothing left over — maybe a scoop or two. The biggest hit was the Rasta pasta. It was all delicious. We will definitely be using you more often than normal, so you may get tired of us!
