MKC Kitchen LLC is a licensed commercial kitchen built on our family farm to build our daughter Makenzee’s legacy. Makenzee was known to most as Kenzee or Kenz and dreamed her whole life of 19 years and 7 months of being a famous farm to table chef. She cooked on her daddy’s hip until she was old enough to reach on her own. She loved making foods of all sorts, as long as they were fresh and from scratch.
MKC’s Kitchen Vision Statement
To make Kenzee famous and unforgettable — one elevated dish at a time.
At MKC’s Kitchen, we are the food elevators, transforming everyday meals into something extraordinary through homemade, farm-to-table flavors and Kenzee’s Everything Sauce that truly elevates everything. It is more than a sauce, it’s the food elevator, lifting flavor to new heights every time you use it. Our vision is to build a legacy of love, flavor, and purpose that honors our daughter and uplifts our community for generations to come.
Kenzee showed her love and compassion for people through her food and through MKC Kitchen, we want to keep her dream alive. Kenz was weeks away from graduating culinary school, at the top of her class, when a negligent driver on his phone ended her life and changed all of our lives forever. Through God’s grace, we attempt daily to repurpose our pain into passion by carrying on Kenzee’s dreams. In March of 2024, her parents Jess and Denee Cupp, added to her legacy and purchased a food truck, like she was planning to do. MKC’s Kitchen offers several different menus from specialty sandwiches, tacos, BBQ and more. Some items include Kenzee’s Everything Sauce and a customer favorite, smoked cream cheese with MKC’s rub.
She enjoyed cooking and baking so many different things, but her favorite, was making sauce with her dad. She wanted the whole world to get to enjoy generations of goodness in this sweet, and a little spicy, universal sauce.
