Who Is That Savage Kitchen?
In honor of Thanksgiving, we decided to offer our readers a creator from the realm of making the perfect home cooked meals!
If you’ve ever stood in front of your fridge feeling overwhelmed by complicated recipes or spent way too long staring at a cookbook that seems more like a puzzle than a helpful guide, Cole Roberson of That Savage Kitchen is your new best friend.
Cole isn’t about complicated techniques or ingredients you can’t pronounce. He’s a self-taught cook who understands what it’s like to just want good food without the hassle. That Savage Kitchen was built for people who love to eat great meals but don’t have time or patience for the chef-y stuff. He proves cooking should be fun, accessible, and, most importantly, delicious.
His videos feel less like traditional cooking shows and more like hanging out with your favorite laid-back friend in the kitchen. Cole keeps it casual, humorous, and relatable, bringing energy and a straightforward approach to each meal. From quick weeknight dinners to freezer-friendly meals and crowd-pleasing dishes, his content meets you exactly where you are.
But That Savage Kitchen is more than just recipes. Cole has turned his passion into a growing community and brand, complete with an online shop offering kitchen essentials and merchandise. It’s about building a space where cooking isn’t intimidating, it’s empowering.
What sets Cole apart is how openly and authentically he shares his kitchen wins and mishaps, reminding us that real cooking is rarely perfect but always rewarding. With That Savage Kitchen, Cole has created an environment where mistakes are part of the process, and creativity is encouraged.
And it’s working. The Savage Kitchen community is growing, built by people who love food, value simplicity, and appreciate a creator who keeps it real. Cole’s approach is resonating, proving that good food isn’t about perfection, it’s about confidence and enjoying the process.
Three Things We Love About That Savage Kitchen
Food that feels doable, not daunting: The recipes don’t require fancy gear or chef‑level skills. If you can boil water and follow simple steps, you’re in. That makes cooking welcoming, not aspirational.
Honest, human kitchen energy: There’s no pretense. Watching a video feels like cooking with a buddy. Messy pans, imperfect plating, jokes, and all. That authenticity hits differently than polished cooking shows.
Creator‑built brand from ground up: From posting cooking videos to launching a merchandise line and treating the kitchen as lifestyle, That Savage Kitchen, shows what’s possible when creators treat content like a basecamp for bigger ideas. Real food, real community, real hustle.
Very inspiring and easy to engage
