Celebrity chef, restaurateur, television host, author and award-winning recording artist Roger Mooking has earned an international reputation as a chef and lifestyle expert that showcases his globally inspired vision. Roger is best known as the host of grilling and barbecue show “Man Fire Food” on Cooking Channel. The popular travelling food series showcases a dynamic range of live fire cooking, including whole hog barbecue, lobster boils, Hawaiian emu’s, seafood roasts and more! As if he didn’t already have a full plate, Roger is also the host of “Greatest of America” on Travel Channel, the host and co-creator of the internationally broadcast television series “Everyday Exotic” on Food Network, and co-host of “Heat Seekers” on the Food Network alongside renowned chef Aarón Sanchez. In addition, Roger hosts “Man’s Greatest Food“, currently airing new episodes on the Cooking Channel where he sets out on a culinary odyssey around the USA seeking “Man’s Greatest Food”.

Outside of the kitchen, this Juno award-winning recording artist has released albums and performed on stage for the last two decades. Abiding by the mantra ‘food feeds the body, music feeds the soul,’ Roger first stepped into the spotlight as a member of the soul trio, Bass is Base. Their early single “Funkmobile” garnered the band a deal with A&M Records and their debut album ‘First Impressions for the Bottom Jugglers’, won a Juno Award in the Best R&B/Soul Recording category in 1995. Their sophomore album, ‘Memories of the Soul Shack Survivors’, gave the band its first Top 20 hit, “I Cry.” In 2013, Mooking released his second solo album “Feedback.” Roger’s highly-anticipated album ‘Eat Your Words,’ due this spring, is as dynamic as his food; influenced by Trinidadian Calypso, Venezuelan vibes, classic hip hop, rock and funk to curate a musically kaleidoscopical experience. As producer, writer and artist on this release, Roger touched all aspects of the album, much like when he creates a dish.
