Chef-Crafted Meals, Delivered to Your Door Every Week.
Rushing KTCHN is a private chef service by Chef Alex Rushing. Organic, scratch-made weekly family style meal prep and in-home dining experiences, built around how your family actually eats.
How It Works (Meal Prep)
From first conversation to full fridge in under a week.

Delivery
We offer hand-couriered delivery across and around the Houston area at no extra cost.

Meet Chef Alex Rushing
Rushing KTCHN grew from something simple: a love of cooking and caring for the people around me.
I'm a self-taught home cook who has always believed that one of the best ways to show love is through a good meal. After friends and family started having babies, I began filling their fridges with homemade dinners to make life a little easier during a busy season. What started as helping the people I love quickly turned into something more, thanks to their encouragement to share my passion with other families.
I love trying new recipes, cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients, and making sure no one leaves my table hungry. To me, dinner is about more than just food—it's the moment everyone comes together after a busy day to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy time with the people who matter most.
That's the heart behind Rushing KTCHN. I take the stress of meal planning and cooking off your plate, so instead of rushing through another evening or settling for something you don't really enjoy, you can gather around the table with your family and share a homemade meal made with care.
What Clients Say…
“Thank you again for the delivery accommodation given us welcoming our baby girl. We had the burgers last night once we got back from the hospital and they were delicious - just what we needed after the hectic shuffle of getting home with a newborn. Was great to have a healthy, nourishing and tasty meal ready for us!”
“Alexandra, thanks for a delicious dinner! It was so nice to know it was already prepared and waiting for us! Garlic Steak Bites were delicious!! I have been having a hard time getting my 2-year-old daughter to eat meat and she ate it up and asked for more!”
“First meal was a hit! We tried the pasta with grilled chicken tonight and our toddler, who never eats chicken, ate it!! We were shocked and happy!”
“Have only had the turkey burger so far but SOOOO good!!! We are both obsessed!! Was so nice to get back from traveling to healthy real food rather than whatever we would've normally gotten on Uber Eats!!”
