Caribbean Chef Keisha Griggs' overall motivation is to bridge the gap between

community and food. After opening her first restaurant, Ate Kitchen, she

designed her concept around seasonal and locally sourced dishes. Her food

charmed local customers with her weekly changing menu and creative

vegetarian options; Ate Kitchen and Chef Griggs were named one of Houston's

TOP Female Chefs of Color 2021, among other recognitions. Ate Kitchen is

currently in early construction and will be open in 2023 within a community that

highlights urban growth and agriculture.

Her Catering arm, Bocage Catering,

also serves as a platform for her to highlight local ingredients with her seasonal

catering menu.

Her passions have led her to Co-Create Black Chef Table, an ongoing Chef

dinner series located in downtown Houston's James Beard Nominated restaurant

Kulture to highlight BIPOC Chef around the city of Houston as BIPOC Food

purveyors for each dinner. "Black Food is not a monolith, we come from all parts

of the world and our food represents that culture. Black Chef Table is the

landscape for Chefs to tell THEIR culinary story and to bridge the gap between

our amazing food purveyors and our outstanding food community. We need

each other"

Chef Keisha continues her dedication to growing relationships with farms,

ranchers, fishermen, and gardens in and around her city to bring Chefs together

in a completely organic way to build the foundation for harmonies relationships

for evervone to continue to grow.

Chef Keisha Griggs will prepare a farm-to-table cuisine to meet your desires, much of it harvested fresh from fellow organic farmers and producers in the area .
