COOKING WITH PURPOSE

Featuring Chef Evelyn Garcia, owner of KIN HTX

FREE EVENT: Join us September 14, 2020 at 6:30 PM for our next Cooking with Purpose, featuring Chef Evelyn Garcia of KIN HTX.
Reserve your free ticket below or click here.

Evelyn Garcia was born and raised in Houston, Texas.  Her interest in the culinary field began at a young age, often cooking for her three younger siblings. Evelyn got her first line cook job at Spice Market by Jean Georges; emphasizing on South East Asian cuisine, she fully indulged in everything Spice Market had to offer, while working under Chef Anthony Ricco.

After leaving Spice Market in 2011, Garcia traveled to India for some time. Once back in New York City, Garcia took a job at Masak, Singaporean focused restaurant with Chef Larry Reutens. After working at Masak for over a year, Garcia, felt it was her time and pursued a sous chef position.

Garcia joined Kin Shop as the Sous Chef, under Chef Harold Dieterele, at the end of 2012 till the end of 2014. While at Kin Shop Garcia was able to participate on Food Networks Chopped where she was announced Chopped Champion in the episode title "All Burger Meal".

After leaving Kin Shop, Garcia decided to take two months off to travel throughout South East Asia and stage at some of the best restaurants in Thailand. Evelyn once again calls Houston, Texas home and has yet wavered in her goals, passion, and creativity for the culinary world.

Evelyn will be preparing Thai Style Grilled Eggplant + Crispy Eggs, with KIN's original thai spiced peanuts.

Ellen Garrison, the daughter, and granddaughter of men who had been enslaved, began her anti-slavery activism at the age of 12! After the Civil War, Garrison was a leader in the fight against segregation. She became a teacher of newly freed people and used education as a tool to empower her community. ⁠
⁠
Ellen's lifelong commitment to civil rights is an inspiration. Her wisdom in using education as a tool for empowerment is a lesson we can learn as we continue to fight for equity and justice. Learn more about Ellen at the link in our profile.
