Quality, passion, & aloha.

Black Sheep Kitchen catering was established in 2019. The name derives from Chef Joey’s pertinacity to follow his own vision and embracing his divergency. He believes that to celebrate the ‘blacksheep’ nature within each of us, is to understand that it is through owning our unconventional qualities that we find our truest and most authentic selves.

The owner of Black Sheep Kitchen, Chef Joey, has pridefully carved a niche for himself as a self-taught cook with 10+ years of kitchen experience. He grew up influenced by family home-cooking and was inspired by his late brother to continue and pursue their joint passion for all things food. He became an understudy to the elite Grand Hyatt Kaua’i Culinary department, where he expeditiously continues to master his trade.

His creativity, hours of experimentation, and bold approach to cooking has earned him a loyal following who anticipate his next extraordinary chef-d'oeuvre.

Joey’s culinary team including Hoku Keamoai, and led by Chef Don Gusman took home the first place title in the 2024 Kaua’i Poke Fest.
