     Chef Kai Starkes

​

Richmond, Virginia native Chef Kai Starkes is the owner & executive chef of Flavor Of Life, LLC, was established in 2017. My passion for catering is inspired by my mother, Hayat Madyun, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2015. "I was 20 years old when I lost my mother. At that point, I had no desire to live.  Grief is real but God is REALER!" My mother had her own successful catering business, so cooking for family & friends brings the serenity of cooking with my mother. My mission is to share my story & passion for cooking skills with millennial men & women throughout the  entire world. "Everyone has a story, but it’s what you do with the story that will make or break you in life." For me, cooking is a passion & therapy to get through trials in my life. "My kitchen is a place where I make it happen! I turn on my favorite music and bring tasty masterpieces to life."
