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.
