Real Good Kitchen
Catering
At Real Good Kitchen, we introduce you to the fresh, exciting flavors of Knoxville’s rapidly expanding food culture.
Catering is typically the same old thing, wherever you go. With more than 30 local food entrepreneurs in our kitchen, we’re serving up something for every occasion.
But what really excites us is how catering for you helps our member businesses grow.
Instead of a standard menu crafted by just one chef, you get exciting options from a whole range of kitchen members – hot chicken, empanadas, North African couscous, Thai curry, breakfast pastries, better boxed lunches, grazing boards, decadent cookies and more, all from folks building their businesses at Real Good Kitchen.
From office gatherings to family celebrations and weddings, Real Good Kitchen Catering helps you create wonderful, delicious moments that don’t just taste good — they do good, too.

"We hired Real Good Kitchen for a brunch at our home the day after our wedding. We wanted it to be perfect... and it was. A friend worked with Bailey Foster to make sure the brunch met our budget needs and menu choices. From the delicious food to the professional server, everything was done with attention to detail. I'm glad we could have the brunch we wanted while supporting our local community and offering a unique option to the normal Knoxville brunch fare. Thank you, RGK!"

The diverse range of vendors they help grow not only ensures exceptional quality and variety in our catering, but also celebrates and uplifts our vibrant community. I highly recommend them, and we are very lucky to have them in our community!"
