PORTER BROOKS  is  host and creator of multiple FOOD TV  series including ENTERTAINING  PEOPLE, URBAN BITE, FOOD TRIP and FOOD REUNION  with over 250 hours of  live and taped on air culinary performance.  The original 2006 breakout  hit series on food, wine, and travel  launched on NBC San Francisco and  remains in global release having aired weekly in over 100-million  homes. 

     As a true Celebrity tastemaker, and bestselling  author, Porter is renowned as the Ambassador of Entertaining for his  over-the-top food and style, creating amazing parties for his viewers to  throw in their homes, worry-free, every time.  A frequent host and  guest on major network and cable television, Brooks and his inspiring  ideas about food, wine, travel and style have graced the pages of  magazines and networks for two decades.  

     Coined in the  Press as a cross between Martha Stewart and Indiana Jones, Porter brings  his lifelong memories and adventures to the viewer and teaches them to  entertain with jaw-dropping style and ease.  His on-camera energy and  personal style are unmistakable and resonate with old and young viewers  alike. 

    Porter stumbled into his professional culinary  career by accident with no formal training beyond the tables of the  world; his test kitchen for developing his palate and culinary  technique.   Once bit by the food and travel bug, Porter weaved event  planning throughout his career now spanning more than two decades.  He  is known as a true soul-chef, bringing his American roots and diverse  cross-cultural European influence to the American table through his  television series, cookbook and live performance.

Porter is available for private events: charity appearances, cruises, lunches, private dinners, galas, auctions, cocktail receptions, and more. We would love to discuss how to be a part of your next event.
