Born and raised in Philadelphia, Kurt Evans found a culinary spark cooking southern style dishes alongside his grandmothers as a child. Since then, he’s honed his skills in some of Philadelphia’s most esteemed kitchens. Evans has cooked professionally for over 12 years and continues to learn innovative cooking techniques and creative recipes.

Evans currently ventures in several projects, including Kulture, a collaborative dinner series featuring lineups of emerging Black American chefs. This dinner series explores ways to enhance opportunities for African-American chefs and bring people together to talk about creating more equal opportunity in the food industry.

He also uses his culinary skills to rally a community around ending mass incarceration. Through the EMI dinner series, Evans is bringing awareness to and garnering solutions for a pressing community issue. Today, Evans is the executive chef at Bookers of West Philly.
