Roger was 13 years old when he fell in love with the artistry behind food. Thanks to his parents, Jose and Maria Martins, who ran a family restaurant in São Paulo, Brazil, Roger was constantly inspired by vibrant and diverse flavors from around the globe. The more Roger created in the kitchen, the more he wanted to turn his passion into his career.
Upon arriving to the U.S., Roger quickly became the Executive Chef at the award-winning Mitra Restaurant in Midtown. Then came an exciting move to another celebrated spot, Sia’s, in Johns Creek, where he led the way in fine dining.
Now, Chef Roger’s Kitchen is his pride and joy. As a true family business, Roger and his wife, Isabella, work side-by-side to bring their clients’ events to life. Isabella coordinates the event details, meetings, and logistics while Roger cooks up a menu that everyone will love. Together, they’ve made Chef Roger’s Kitchen a place where incredible food and unforgettable events are united.
Whether it’s a big celebration or an intimate gathering, Roger and Isabella’s mission is simple: to create meaningful moments that make everyone feel connected. After all, food has the power to bring people together, and every meal tastes better in good company.
