Carena Prather — better known as Chef Ko — is the heart, hustle, and flavor behind Pretty Ave Eats. Born with a love for food and a natural gift for creativity, Chef Ko turned her passion into a purpose, creating a brand that’s equal parts gourmet and glamorous. She’s not just cooking meals — she’s crafting experiences that taste as good as they look.

 

Chef Ko’s journey started in her own kitchen, where she began experimenting with bold seasonings, signature sauces, and recipes that reflect her Southern roots with a modern twist. With a personality as vibrant as her flavors, she built Pretty Ave Eats to be more than a food brand — it’s a lifestyle. From intimate dinners to pop-up events, and now an expanding line of seasonings and sauces, her mission is simple: deliver unforgettable flavor with style and confidence.

 

As a CEO, Chef Ko is unapologetically herself — a businesswoman who can rock heels in the kitchen, run a team with precision, and still make you feel like family at the table. She’s proof that you can be pretty and still get your hands dirty in the name of your dreams. Her ultimate goal? To inspire other women to step into their power, own their lanes, and season their lives with just as much boldness as they season their food.

 

At Pretty Ave Eats, it’s more than a meal — it’s a mood, a vibe, and a movement.
