About Us

The story of 2 Food Dudes begins in 1987 at Fort Eustis, Virginia, where Jeff and Chef Jim first met during Army training. Their shared experience in the military laid the foundation for a lifelong partnership, rooted in camaraderie, discipline, and a commitment to helping others. Over the years, Jeff’s time as a Crew Chief on OH-6 Cayuse helicopters and his work in state service built his leadership and communication skills, while Chef Jim honed his culinary expertise through roles at prestigious restaurants and as part of the Wounded Warrior Project.

In 2018, after years of honing his skills in retail and state service, Jeff teamed up with Chef TK to bring their shared love for bold, flavorful seasonings to life. Together, they developed the first blends of 2 Food Dudes. However, in 2023, Chef TK chose to pursue new opportunities and life experiences. This is when Jeff reached out to Chef Jim to take the brand to the next level. Jim, with his years of military service and culinary expertise, immediately answered the call.

Today, 2 Food Dudes blends military discipline with a passion for exceptional food, creating seasonings that reflect the precision, teamwork, and dedication that have shaped both our lives and our brand.
