FROM 400 POUNDS TO CARNIVORE CULINARY HERO
Chef. Author. Creator. Speaker. Mental Health Advocate.Musician.
A man on a mission to change the world one plate at a time.
Meet Chef Chris, the creator of Chris Cooking Nashville. Once weighing over 400 pounds, Chris transformed his life through a low-carb, carnivore way of eating—losing 130 pounds and counting. Getting his life back gave him a purpose: help others see what’s possible, feel worth taking care of, and get excited about food again.
He brings a chef’s skills, a musician’s creativity, and plenty of rock-and-roll soul to your kitchen. On his popular YouTube channel, weekly cooking videos turn big ideas into meals you can actually make. His cookbook, Eat Your Meat, Love Your Life, delivers 130 recipes packed with bold flavor. And his eight-episode Garage Band Cooking School teaches you how cooking works—from knife skills and heat control to creating complete meals with confidence.
Whether you’re exploring carnivore, eating low-carb, or simply ready to become a better cook, Chris gives you practical skills, fresh inspiration, and encouragement to keep going.
Eat your meat. Love your life. Let’s crank your kitchen to 11.

Ready to crank your kitchen skills to 11? Backstage Kitchen Roadie Sessions are personalized, one-on-one culinary coaching experiences designed to help you make your way of eating work for YOUR life!
We’ll start with a pre-session questionnaire to help me understand your goals and needs, followed by a 90-minute private virtual coaching session where we dive into everything that matters to YOU: your lifestyle, family, budget, food preferences, cooking experience, kitchen equipment, desired macros, and more. Whether you’re keto, carnivore, low-carb, whole-food focused, or following another approach, we’ll work together to develop practical strategies tailored to your goals, abilities, and everyday routine.
After our session, you’ll receive a customized culinary action plan, personalized 7-day recipe plan, and shopping list designed around your specific needs, preferences, and kitchen setup. You’ll have a practical, step-by-step roadmap to help you build confidence, simplify meal preparation, and put everything we’ve discussed into action.
No cookie-cutter plans. No unnecessary complications. Just real food, real kitchen skills, and a personalized strategy built around YOU.
Introductory Price of $299 for a limited time!
These sessions provide culinary education and practical cooking guidance, not medical or professional nutrition advice. All recommendations are based on my culinary experience and your personally chosen dietary goals.

The Band is Chef Chris’s private low-carb community—and your backstage pass to exclusive livestreams, extra recipes, cooking tips, and real support. Whether you’re sharing a win or need encouragement to keep going, you’ll find people who understand the journey and are rooting for you. Nurse practitioner Amanda Decker is part of the community, too, sharing her knowledge and answering health questions to help you feel more informed and supported.

JOIN ME AT THE CARNIVORE CHEF RETREAT & EXPERIENCE
I’m incredibly excited to be part of the Carnivore Chef Retreat & Experience in Nashville, Tennessee, May 6–10, 2027!
If you’ve ever wanted to spend a few days cooking, learning, eating incredible food, and connecting with some of your favorite people in the carnivore community, this is your chance. I’ll be cooking alongside several other creators, sharing recipes, techniques, and plenty of great conversations throughout the retreat.
The retreat is the perfect companion to Meatstock and includes lodging, daily breakfast and dinner, and shuttle transportation, making it an easy and unforgettable way to experience everything the weekend has to offer.
One of the things I’m most looking forward to is getting to meet so many of you in person. As someone who calls Nashville home, it’s an honor to welcome you here for what promises to be an incredible few days of food, friendship, and community.
If you’re planning to attend Meatstock—or have been looking for a more intimate, hands-on experience—I hope you’ll join us!
