Killer Kitchen Gourmet represents a celebration of life and culinary traditions. Chef Greg Murray (a.k.a. Chef Murph) was born into this world in 1974. He was extremely blessed to have a large family that appreciated all the culinary treasures found on God’s green earth, land or sea they always discovered a way to celebrate life with some “Killer Cuisine”.

Growing up in Baltimore, Maryland on the tributaries of the Chesapeake he spent an enormous amount of time fishing, crabbing and boating. At an early age his father taught him to catch and clean fish, shuck oysters and steam crabs. Greg’s Nan taught him how to grow a garden, pickle and can the rewards of hard work at the end of the summer. Greg’s Gram would always take him mushroom hunting in the spring and summer. His mother Renee always gave Greg total freedom in her kitchen, so his imagination could run wild.

Greg’s Pop always had several black Angus steers on hand and many other farm fresh treasures to become acquainted with. One of Greg’s favorite passions and a learned labor of love by his Pop and Uncle “Moose” were firing up the pit BBQ at 5:00 a.m. He loved to help “babysit the meat” as his Pop called it. He learned the key to perfect BBQ was having patience, maintaining a consistent temperature and the end result would be strikingly impressive. Greg was a child and already learned the natural wood fired method of “slow and low” and what authentic BBQ stood for.

Sunday dinners were like festivals of flavor and a dynamic display of a true “farm to table” experience. The tantalizing blue BBQ smoke that flooded the air was part of a culinary ritual and collectively attracted not just family, but friends and neighbors alike. Greg’s family always had more than enough and it was their pleasure to share with anybody who had a “Killer BBQ Appetite”.

Enlightened and inspired at a very young age, Greg worked at several local successful restaurants and crab houses. However, he was most inspired by putting in hard work in his own kitchen, studying new techniques and mastering his own BBQ recipes.

Through time he always had a passion to be a  BBQ caterer and throw scrumptious spreads down for parties and cookouts. After his Pop and Uncle passed he became official “ BBQ Pit Master” for every family and friend celebration. As a young and aspiring chef it was Greg’s goal to achieve highly effective flavors using the freshest superior ingredients available. He practiced the “old BBQ school” methods and utilized offset heat to lock down some unimaginable flavors of authentic barbecue.

In 2010 with the heightened popularity of social media platforms, Greg began posting pictures of his BBQ and innovative specialties online, he branded his culinary creations “Killer Kitchen”.

That same year he became a member of the Kansas City Barbecue Society, the world’s largest organization of BBQ professional and grilling enthusiasts. In 2011 Greg went to school to become an official barbeque judge certified by the KCBS.

In 2014 Greg decided to purchase his first professional built smoker trailer and pit from Custom Pits and Fabrications, LLC. After learning the ins and outs of operating a 3,000 lb. cooking machine, Greg decided to start sharing his love for “Killer BBQ ” on a much broader scale.

In 2015 Greg and his wife Heather decided to officially form Killer Kitchen Gourmet, LLC. The goal was simple to give people the opportunity to experience “Killer BBQ ” and gourmet food while celebrating life!

At Killer Kitchen Gourmet they love to say “It’s Not Just BBQ, it’s an Attitude!”
