Meet Chef Kendall Curry: The Heart Behind the Flavor
With more than 35 years of fine-dining experience, Chef Kendall Curry is the owner and executive chef of Chef Curry Catering & Events, where he brings his signature approach to modern American comfort food.
Chef Curry’s journey began at just 17 years old at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. His career would take him through some of Oklahoma City’s notable kitchens, including Sleepy Hollow, Pepperoni Grill, Café 501, Boulevard Steakhouse, The Ranch Steakhouse, Rococo, and West.
A pivotal influence in his career was Chef Nordeen Bennai, whom Chef Curry met while working at Sleepy Hollow. Over the years, Chef Curry continued developing his craft and leadership, eventually rising from broiler chef to executive chef at The Ranch Steakhouse.
In 2015, after decades in the restaurant industry, Chef Curry followed his entrepreneurial calling and launched Chef Curry To Go, which has since evolved into Chef Curry Catering & Events. Today, he combines decades of culinary expertise with a passion for creating food that brings people together from intimate dinners and family meals to weddings, corporate events, and large celebrations.
Outside the kitchen, Chef Curry is an avid sports fan who enjoys cheering for OU, the OKC Thunder, Kansas City Chiefs, and Green Bay Packers. When he isn’t cooking or watching a game, you may find him enjoying a walk with his miniature schnauzer.
For Chef Curry, food is more than what’s served on the plate it’s about creating experiences, bringing people together, and delivering Love You Can Taste.
