Welcome to Dirty Rush, The Truth About Sorority Life, with your host, me, Gia Judice, Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Fessler. Hi, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Dirty Rush and Happy Thanksgiving. So in honor of Thanksgiving, we are going to be talking to a chef, not just any chef.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Looking to Kevin Ashton, who is the house chef for Pi Beta Phi Sorority at the University of Nevada. So Kevin has an unbelievable following. Some of you may know him. I think he has like five million followers. on TikTok. He is a wonder. And we're going to find out everything. We have a ton of questions for him. So let's bring in Kevin. Hello. Thank you for having me. I am very interested in all things Kevin Ashton and what you do and why you do it and how you do it. So let's just, if you wouldn't mind, just tell me a little bit about how this happened. You are, well, there's a lot to
Starting point is 00:04:20 ask about. I mean, you have this unbelievable following on TikTok. of course, but what made you decide to want to be a chef for a sorority? That is, you know, there's such a long story behind that. But it basically boils down to, I've been in the restaurant business my whole life. I've been, food has been my life since I was a little kid. So I went to culinary school in 1991 and I began my professional career after that. And I was a chef for 30 years. And when the pandemic hit, all the restaurants got shut down.
Starting point is 00:04:58 And so all the chefs got to take a break for the first time in their lives. And for me, after 30 years in the kitchens, it's the first time I had a couple months off. And I decided I really liked it. So I retired from the restaurant business. And I started shooting TikToks. And I did that for a little while. And then one of the alums reached out to me. She knew I wasn't doing anything besides.
Starting point is 00:05:22 shooting videos and she said hey we have this position our chef you know we lost our chef would you be interested in just coming down and talking to us about about the job and um it just like everything about the job just lined up perfect i got why what do you mean i got i got to take summers off i get the nights and weekends off um i get like all these i got a lot of time off essentially that's what it boiled down to and that's what the hard part about um the restaurant business is is you uh you know if you really want to commit to that business, you're working nights and weekends and holidays and you pour your life into it. And I raised four daughters. And, you know, it's very few of their performances and soccer games and events and because my life was committed to the
Starting point is 00:06:10 restaurants. So I, it was like, it was great to, uh, to have the opportunity to still cook in a kitchen, but not, but at the same time, have all the time off. You know, I'm home. every evening now. I'm home on the weekends. I'm home on all the holidays. And I take a long break over the summer. So it's just perfect for me. Wow. Did it occur to you that this was an opportunity in terms of your social media career? Because I've not met somebody who does what you do and who is not just works in that house, but you're a professional chef. How lucky are these are these girls? And I'm sure it comes with so many challenges. Was that part of why you accepted the job like this is going to be really interesting to people it was they told me i could
Starting point is 00:06:55 you know they they essentially handed me over the whole kitchen they said you can cook whatever you want you write the menu you do the shopping you cook the food you wash your own dishes it's basically i'm a one-man show and so so i didn't have to worry about employees i didn't have to worry i just like you know i every every uh every weekend i think about the menu for for the upcoming week and i write it out they send it to the girls and they all reply with what they want or don't want we have alternative options if they don't like something there has to be you have to have people to do this with you how many girls are there uh yeah i do it all alone there's 20 25 girls plus one house mom so i cook for like 20 i cook for 26 meals uh lunch and dinner and um and yeah i do it by
Starting point is 00:07:40 yourself and you get you still have your home you're home at night i'm surprised to hear that sounds like the most work ever yeah no they eat dinner at uh at uh at 5 o'clock so i'm usually done by six and home by six 30 and that's a that's unheard of in the in the restaurant business um i there is a one girl that works in-house and she does the dishes in the evening and it's kind of like a part-time job for her so she doesn't even have to go out and get another job this is they pay her to um do the dishes and they they've been doing that for a couple years for me when i started out i did my own dishes um and i i clean up along as you you know, throughout the day as I go, I clean up.
Starting point is 00:08:20 But at the end of the night, they'll go through and they'll take care of the last of the dishes that the girls eat and everything. Having to deal with, first of all, girls that age, you have four daughters, so that must have come pretty naturally. But I just cannot imagine cooking. And girls, correct me if I'm wrong, while they're in college, they're very particular.
Starting point is 00:08:40 They got a lot going on up here about what to eat and what not to eat. I would think that your job would be so challenging. It's, you know, it is, but I, I've, like I said, food has been my life's passion. So, and having raised girls, I understand how they think and, and my daughters are the same ages. They're, they're in their early 20s. So they're, it's the same.
Starting point is 00:09:04 It's like, I understand that they like to eat healthy, but at the same time, they like to have cheat days. You know, they like a nice Greek yogurt bowl, but they also like a cheeseburger and fries. And so there's a balance that I have to do when I write the menu. Do you have to be conscious of all the dietary restrictions every meal? So like I can't, right? So you're cooking multiple, I would think, options each meal. Well, I create a menu. And then we do have some dietary restrictions.
Starting point is 00:09:36 And every semester or every year we've had some. And I adhere to those wholeheartedly. And I do my best to, like if they're gluten-free and I'm doing a pasta night, I'll just get some gluten-free pasta. That way the girls kind of feel like they're eating the same thing. I don't just make them a salad because everyone else is having, you know, pasta with gluten in it. I try to make them feel like they're part of the same meal.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And it's tough sometimes. We have, depending what the allergies are, I've had everything from shellfish allergies, soybean allergies, nut allergies. There's just so there's different guidelines I've followed. And I really do my best to, of course, I don't give them. any, you know, any allergies I completely adhere to those and, and just, I use just substitute items if it comes down to, you know, we have some, some girls who are dairy-free and gluten-free, and if I'm doing like fetichini alfredo, that's pretty much all dairy and gluten.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Then I'll say, you know, let's pick something. I have a whole list of alternative meals that they can choose from. So they're never going to, they're never going to go hungry if they can't eat what I'm actually making, or if they don't like what I'm making, they simply say, you know, I don't want the Fetuccine Alfredo, I want a burger tonight, or I want a chicken Caesar tonight. And they say it to you. So now they're down for dinner. It's 5 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Someone tastes something you've made and they don't like it. Will you then prepare them something else? Or like my mother, will you say, well, I made it, you're eating it, or you're going hungry? Yeah, no, generally that doesn't happen because they sign up ahead of time. They sign up for the whole week. So they see what's on the menu. And they know if they don't like something coming up, then they choose for that particular day, an alternative meal. So at the beginning of the day, I know what everybody's going to have.
Starting point is 00:11:18 And I've never had somebody come up and say, hey, I don't like this. If they did, I'd make them something different, though. You must be a basic chef. I always have lots of food on hands, so I could do a quick burger or a quick chicken seed. You seem so even-tempered. And this is just from the very short amount of time that we're speaking. And I think that's probably so conducive to what you do. I mean, I think you would have to be even-tempered.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Is there anything hard, though, about what you do, these girls? girls, their personalities. You make it sound very easy. You know what? For me, I feel like it is. The girls are inspirational. They are. They're so kind and they do so many kind things throughout the year.
Starting point is 00:12:02 And I just watch them and they inspire me to be on my best behavior. And, you know, I'm kind nature as it is. So it's easy to me to get along with them. In four years, I've never had a single argument. with any of the girls at just like if they don't like something i say hey no problem let's let's do so let's fix it and you know sometimes they'll come up and say you know i i want this meal but um i don't want that particular part of it so i'll leave it off for them i mean to i never had an argument with any of these girls there's never been trouble of any kind you are an amazing man no no i just have to tell you that's i
Starting point is 00:12:37 find that fascinating i can't imagine being with that age group of girls every day lunch and dinner and speaking so highly of them and kindly of them, I think I would go crazy, maybe because I also have a 23-year-old sister. So, yeah, it's funny. I see it like these girls have a, they, like I say, they're very busy throughout the year. They're always doing a lot of philanthropy. They're always giving back to the community. And when they're not doing that, they're studying and they're going to classes and they work so
Starting point is 00:13:11 hard. And to actually take a break from all of that and just sit. sit down and enjoy a meal. That's sometimes their only downtime in the whole day. And oftentimes if they're a long ways from home, which a lot of them are, then that's kind of like that one time when they can kind of get that down feel and they have a comfortable meal. And the last thing they need is some sort of negative vibe coming out of the kitchen
Starting point is 00:13:36 when it makes them not, you know, that's the one peaceful moment they have in the day. I want to make it just perfect for them. I love that. That's lovely. I shouldn't say this. I was about to say you make me want to become a chef in a store. I absolutely do not want to ever, ever, ever, ever do that. But I'm a little bit in awe of you, my friend.
Starting point is 00:13:54 What do you put on social media? Well, I just film, I film what I do for them every day. So I just film what I. I did social media for a couple of years. So going into the job, I had a small following. And it, of course, it grew over the years. And I think that's just because of the mystery of a, sorority house nobody really ever gets to see inside a sorority house and know what goes on they all have
Starting point is 00:14:20 ideas of what goes on in there but really i didn't even know what it was like going in and um and it's it's so different than than what you like i say these girls work hard they raise money for the community they're all going to school they just it's and and so it's a it's an aspiring place to work it really is so my videos are just like what i do on a daily basis well i i don't know that i wonder if their chefs feel the same way because I think you probably know this you have poor girls but sororities you know they're they come in all different shapes and sizes right but it sounds like you're maybe in a house of of girls that are more studious and so like there's a lot of mischief going on i don't i don't want to say they don't they're not they're not typical college students
Starting point is 00:15:06 because they are and it is a it is a dry house so of course there's no alcohol allowed in the house but a lot of the girls are over 21 and they're welcome to go out anytime they want and go to the bars or go party and they do that and every now and then I'll see them on Friday morning because most of them don't have class Friday morning. That's the one morning I do brunch the rest of the week. They kind of do their own breakfast. It's like that. What do you serve for brunch on Friday mornings?
Starting point is 00:15:31 I mix it up. I've done everything from like eggs Benedict to like a nice Greek yogurt bowls. I've done chicken fried steak and like last Friday I did pumpkin pancakes for them. So I just, I make it different every week. I do it like, I like to incorporate a lot of different fresh berries and fresh fruit, depending what we're doing. Do they have a favorite? Is there something that the girls just love when you make?
Starting point is 00:15:54 Do you have a specialty? Lunch or dinner, dinner-wise, they like the cassabaria tacos. That's their, it's, it's like a stewed meat that's stewed all day long. And then it goes in these tacos and you kind of dip it in this, in this consummate. so it's like a taco french dip in a weird sort of way and they're just absolutely delicious and the girls that's that's their all-time favorite they that's my most requested meal um and it takes a lot of work in my sorority house so yeah they uh college that's amazing so i have a little i have a little suggestion box so they can put suggestions in it and um i take those and incorporate those
Starting point is 00:16:33 into the menus that i write every week is there been ever like the wild suggestion any of like Anything was just, there's just, sometimes there's things I can't do only because I am by myself. They'll like, they'll want certain types of pizzas or something. And I can't really do pizza for like individual. I can't do 25 individual pizzas. It's just too hard. And so, so there's certain things that I, that are just a little beyond my by reach. But as a chef, I understand that. And so I just don't put it on the menu. I know what my capabilities are. And I try to, I try to stretch those limits a little bit sometimes, but I definitely never get myself in deep water to where,
Starting point is 00:17:16 because they have to, they sign up to eat at a certain time, five or five 15 or 5.30, and I know a lot of them have classes. So I don't want to, I don't want to be so behind that they're, you know, they have to leave and don't get food because they have to go to class,
Starting point is 00:17:31 or they're going to be late to class because I'm behind. So I, again, it's just that balance of like, you know, not overstepping my balance. and knowing what my limitations are. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught.
Starting point is 00:17:57 The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer, The investigation into the most notorious killer in New York, since the son of Sam, available now.

Starting point is 00:19:43 The judges were like, you're trash. I don't know how you got on the show. Boo, somebody had tomatoes. I'm kidding. But if they had tomatoes, they would have thrown the tomatoes. Let's be honest. We've all had those moments we'd rather forget. We bumped our head.
Starting point is 00:19:56 We made a mistake. The deal fell through. We're embarrassed. We failed. But this podcast is about that and how we made it through.

The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday. A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market. What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside. He's left. the White House.
Starting point is 00:22:03 And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you had, you know, reformed relationships with some of these girls, a dad or a brother? Are there some of them that you keep in touch with that are no longer living in the house? Well, I don't keep in touch with any of them, but I have run into some of them locally.
Starting point is 00:22:48 And it's always like, hey, how you doing? You know, long time, no see. And it's just like, it's really great to see them. Because I do, I do friend or form friendships with them. It's kind of like your work family. Like, they just live in the house. I'm just the chef. But to me, these are the girls I see every single day when I go to work.
Starting point is 00:23:08 So they're like my work family. And I talk to them and I, you know, I quit, hey, how you doing? Oh, I'm a little stressed. I got a test today. Oh, what class are you in? We just have little conversations. And so I learn about them where they're from, where they're going home for the holidays. And so it is nice to form these friendships with them.
Starting point is 00:23:29 But yeah, I don't really keep in touch with them. any of them. But it's always great to see them outside of the house, even if I'm just at the grocery store on a Saturday and I run into a couple of them. You know, it's, it's, it's not awkward. It's, it's very friendly and, um, warm. Yeah, it's a, it's just a warm. Hey, how you doing? And it's really nice. Awesome. These girls, these are very lucky girls. I hope they know how lucky they are. People say that. I, I always feel like I'm the lucky one. You know, it's, it's, it's the best job in the world it really is wow i love hearing that i haven't heard anyone say that in a very long time yeah it's uh i'm blessed i am i i want to follow you now on ticot where do we
Starting point is 00:24:10 find you old school kem mo across the board ticot youtube instagram old school it's old old ds cool c-o-o-o-l kemmo i would say that because old's cool cool old is cool old is cool and what about kevmo so So, Kebmo is just what my friends always used to call me when I was, when I was like starting in high school. They always called me Kevmo instead of Kevin. So it became old school Kevmo. All right. And it just kind of stuck.
Starting point is 00:24:40 And I wasn't even sure when I had to pick a username. It's just when I threw out there. And then my accounts kind of blew up. I mean, they really have. Like, am I right? Do you have like 5 million followers or something? I do. On, on, I have like, on TikTok, I have like 5.5 million followers.
Starting point is 00:24:57 I have about 8 million followers across the board total. And it's just been a... Eight million followers. I mean, what do you think that is? I mean, yes, I think people want to see what goes on, I guess, in a sorority house, but it can't be it. I mean, is it what you're cooking? Is it your personality that people just find very charming and calming? What is it that is drawing all of these people to you?
Starting point is 00:25:20 I think a lot of it, people tell me it's my voice. They say they could listen to me, you know, read the people. read the phone book. I always used to try to sing when I was younger and I was terrible at singing because I can't carry a tune. But I guess just speaking, I never, you know, I just assumed even speaking it was because I had a bad voice. But when I started doing my videos, they said,
Starting point is 00:25:44 I love your voice, I love your voice. And I always was told, you're a terrible singer. You're a terrible singer. So it's like it was really hard for me to make that connection of like, it's okay to be a bad singer, of it. Maybe I do have a good speaking voice. So that's what people tell me. Maybe that's part of it.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I really do put a lot of it on the fact that people are curious what goes on in the sorority house. And they don't see anything that goes on in the house. They see the kitchen and that's all. I don't show any parts of the house. Do the girls come on? No, I try to keep them out of the videos as much as I can. You might just catch the back of one of them, their head as they walk by, like in the
Starting point is 00:26:19 background. But I try to keep their privacy to themselves. I try not to make it about them, but more. about me and the food I'm serving. I feel like you would be watching, watching, what is the guy's name? Bob Green, the painter. Bob Ross.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Bob Ross. Yes, I feel like it would be like to add a little bit. People have compared me to him as the Bob Ross of cooking. So I do too. And I don't mind that. You know, he had a very cool vibe. Mesmerizing way about him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:50 And I do the same thing with, you know, a little bit of salt here and just a little bit of garlic over there. and whatever so it's just kind of the same vibe i suppose i love that very grateful that you came to talk to us yeah me too this is this is cool i love sharing my story i love telling everybody about it um just because it is i i think it's a unique situation and it's a uh like before i before the pandemic and actually before i got the phone call about um coming in and interviewing for the job i never knew a job like this existed i don't know what i thought what i thought they did i didn't know that sorority houses and the fraternities as well have chefs and I didn't realize this I did
Starting point is 00:27:32 I mean I lived in one but I wouldn't I just I don't know it didn't really register you know like who was cooking and yeah up at the campus there's different food outlets and I know there's chefs there and I maybe just assume that's where all the food came from I didn't think of being like the house I work in is not regulated um by by the city it's it's not a restaurant It's a private, it's a private home. So essentially I'm a private chef just working with this home cooking for these girls. And it's just, it's just really, really neat. I remember we had a couple of thought of them as cooks more than chefs.
Starting point is 00:28:09 I don't remember them being as invested and with as much experience. I think these girls, again, are very lucky. Yeah, it's funny because I've cooked in, I live in Reno and I've cooked in this town as a chef for 30 years. And I've met a lot of chefs and I have a lot of really close friends that have been in the industry for so long. And they all tell me, man, how did you get that job? Like, that's a dream job. And I never really thought about it. But a lot of my chefs who are very high up working in the casinos or working in, you know, very successful restaurants,
Starting point is 00:28:45 they want to leave those jobs and, like, get themselves a sorority house job or a threat house job. You know, they want to take it easy on the weekends. They want to take the summers off. And they want to get out of that. It's a grind working in the industry. It's a tough job to be in, you know, as for cooks, dishwashers, servers, the whole industry. It's a hard business to be in. So I feel like I got lucky and I can still cook and I can still share my passion,
Starting point is 00:29:12 but I don't have to deal with the whole restaurant industry anymore. So it makes me feel good. Yeah, hospitality is not easy. It's not. It's, and my heart goes out to everybody still doing it. It's a tough business. And it's like, it's where I spent my career. So I love all the people in it.
Starting point is 00:29:27 And I really try to treat them all well and take care of them. But on the other hand, I'm like, oh, look at me now. You know, it's like, hey, you guys might be able to. Yeah, I started something here. You're starting, who knows, it's going to be a new wave of Greek house chefs. I think it's so cool. I think so. I think people are seeing that it's a pretty cool gig.
Starting point is 00:29:51 And I just, you know, I was a little, I was a, a little curious when I took the job how other people were going to look at me as a chef, you know, working in a sorority house. And it didn't, it didn't, not that I have a great reputation, but it didn't taint my reputation at all. They all just absolutely love what I was doing it. I'm feeling like people like looking at you. So I think you probably have a reputation. All right, Kevmo. Well, thank you so much for joining us. Absolutely. Yeah. Thank you. So interesting. We appreciate pleasure.
