Chef Kevin King


Meet Kevin King, a Brooklyn native with a heritage as diverse as his culinary journey. Born and raised in Brooklyn, with Jamaican and Irish roots, Kevin's upbringing is a vibrant tapestry of cultures and flavors. Growing up alongside his mother and sisters, who migrated from Jamaica and thrived through their relentless hustle, Kevin learned invaluable lessons in perseverance and determination.

Their journey wasn't just about survival; it was about thriving against all odds. Food became more than nourishment—it was their shared language of love and resilience. Through the art of cooking, Kevin discovered the profound impact of herbs and spices, transforming simple ingredients into culinary masterpieces.

While his culinary experiences began in Brooklyn, they began to take flight as he ventured to other places, experiencing the freshness of ingredients in California, the flavors of St. Marteen, and now servicing the island of Martha's Vineyard. Today, at Hustle and Spice, Kevin channels his diverse background and culinary passion into crafting unforgettable experiences. Each dish is a testament to his journey, blending bold flavors and fresh ingredients to create a symphony of taste and tradition. From humble beginnings along Eastern Parkway during the Labor Day Parade to the bustling kitchens of Brooklyn and beyond, Kevin's culinary creations reflect his deep-rooted appreciation for the transformative power of food and the resilience of the human spirit.
