Hi, I’m Sam Hollister, a 29-year-old Kansas City chef who believes cooking is more than feeding people it’s about making memories with every bite. Raised in a lively kitchen where flavors came alive amidst joyful chaos, I learned early that the best dishes are born from creativity and heart. From summers cooking block party favorites like pulled-pork sliders to sharing recipes that inspire confidence, my kitchen is filled with music, experiments, and dishes smelling of bold comfort. Welcome to this perfectly imperfect space where food and connection meet. If you need a hand, reach out via my Contact page!
