Chef Keshaun D. Winston (K.Winston) was born February 5th, 1978 in Washington, D.C. were he attended Calvin Coolidge Senior High School. While attending school, his home economics teacher discovered that he had not only an interest in cooking but also for the kitchen at a young age. Chef K.Winston never attended Culinary school, and instead, started his journey in the culinary industry at the age of 18 as a self-taught chef.

After being homeless for two years, he landed his first position at the Four Seasons Hotel as a dishwasher where he rapidly fell in love with the pace and atmosphere of the restaurant’s underbelly: The Kitchen. This intense desire to cook allowed him to gradually rise in responsibilities from dishwasher to prep cook, line cook, and then ultimately, Executive Chef. After many years of working in several different restaurants (Andrews Air Force Base, The Queen Vic, and Bohemian Cavern, to name a few), Chef K.Winston decided that it was time to step out on faith and follow his true passion.

In 2012, Chef K.Winston decided to start his own catering company K.Winston’s Catering. In doing so, he was rewarded several opportunities to cater to various celebrities, including President Barack Obama, Mayor Marion Barry, and Russ Parr of the Russ Parr Morning Show. He has also made appearances on the local ABC News and DCTV.  Now, Chef and Author, his first cookbook was released Thanksgiving Day in 2019.

In addition, Chef K.Winston has been able to share his talent and passion by catering wedding receptions, cooking for the homeless, and youth volunteer events, while focusing on remaining true to his motto: “Everybody’s Gotta Eat!”
