Chef Kenneth Rogers

Kenneth Rogers, Rain City Catering’s Owner & General Manager, is definitely the business mind behind the catering. The youngest of three children to a single hard-working mother, Kenneth learned to creatively cook and bake independently on his own. Kenneth has always been a natural at cooking, and holds a special knack at uniquely seasoning his dishes to perfection. As a child, Kenneth knew he wanted to be a caterer. His life in the food service industry started early, at the age of 15. Kenneth worked at various restaurant chains, where he not only gained experience as a fry/grill cook and baker, but eagerly learned the everyday business aspects of the food service industry. From 1995 to 1997, Kenneth, together with a few partners, opened and operated a local restaurant/catering company in Seattle called Savoy, which specialized in Southern cuisine, aka Soul food. It was during this time that Kenneth obtained the necessary and valuable knowledge to own, operate, and manage a world-class catering company. Knowing what it takes to financially start a business, Kenneth worked for The Boeing Company from 1997 through 1999, and together with Jeremy, invested his hard earned savings into the incorporation of New Century Catering, now known as Rain City Catering.
