Ki Hickson

I create elevated comfort food inspired by Southern roots and Caribbean flavor.

Hi, I’m Ki—a multifaceted creative who truly loves food. I was raised around the kitchen by my Southern grandmother, and I also had the joy of learning Caribbean flavors through my family, both of which shaped how I cook today.

If you ask me what my specialty is, I’ll tell you: good food and a good time. I create dishes that elevate familiar favorites to cultivate memorable moments for everyone at my table, and I love teaching others how to do the same.

Enjoy it. Whatever I'm doing in there, I enjoy it—if not, my food will tell on me.

What you can expect when you dine with me

Creative, thoughtful cooking

Cooking is one of my favorite ways to explore and create, so I approach every menu with curiosity, bold flavor, and a sense of fun—without ever losing sight of quality and care.

Trained technique, personal style

I learned and refined my craft at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Boulder, Colorado, and I bring that foundation into every dish I make—clean execution, balanced plates, and strong culinary fundamentals.

Joy is my secret ingredient

My kitchen philosophy is simple: I enjoy it. If I’m not having a good time creating your meal, the food will tell on me—so I cook with intention, warmth, and pride every step of the way.
