Rooted In tradition & Driven By Flavor: Chef Christopher B. Mills
Self-Taught. Louisville Raised. Built From the Ground Up.
For Chef Christopher B. Mills, food has always been about more than what’s on the plate. It’s about family, connection, culture, and creating moments people remember.
Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Chef Mills’ culinary foundation began long before Still Winning Kitchen existed. Some of his earliest influences came from watching and learning from his mother and grandmothers in the kitchens of West Louisville.
Those experiences helped shape a cooking style rooted in familiar flavors while leaving room for creativity, refinement, and Chef Mills’ own personality.
Today, his culinary style can best be described as:
Contemporary American Cuisine with Southern Roots and Elevated Execution.
His food brings together influences from Southern comfort cooking, Italian cuisine, New Orleans and Cajun flavors, seafood, steakhouse favorites, and modern American dining—all interpreted through the Still Winning style..
Still Winning Kitchen was nominated for Catering Company of the Year in 2021, and Chef Mills continues to build the company around one standard: quality food, professional execution, and an experience guests remember.
“I love to build relationships with my clients so I can better pamper them with personal touches.”
FROM STILL WINNING TO STILL WINNING KITCHEN
The Name Came Before the Kitchen.
The Still Winning brand began in 2014 as something bigger than food. It represented perseverance, progress, and continuing to move forward regardless of the obstacles along the way.
In November 2019, Chef Mills began taking the steps that would turn his passion for cooking into a professional culinary business.
In January 2020, Still Winning Kitchen LLC was officially launched.
What began as a vision has grown into a Louisville-based culinary brand providing catering, private chef experiences, weddings, corporate and university catering, meal prep, charcuterie and grazing experiences, romantic dining, and traveling chef services.
And through every stage of that growth, the philosophy has remained the same:
SELF-TAUGHT. EXPERIENCE-DRIVEN.
Chef Mills built his culinary career differently.
Rather than following a traditional culinary-school path, he developed his craft through hands-on experience, continuous learning, experimentation, repetition, and a genuine passion for feeding people.
That journey has allowed him to develop a style that doesn’t fit neatly into one culinary category.
You’ll find Southern influences in one dish, Cajun flavors in another, a steakhouse-inspired entrée on the next plate, and seafood or Italian influences somewhere else on the menu.
The common denominator is Still Winning flavor.
MORE THAN A CATERER
Chef-Led Hospitality.
Chef Mills believes clients should be able to choose an experience that fits their occasion—not be forced into a one-size-fits-all catering package.
That philosophy has helped Still Winning Kitchen grow beyond traditional catering.
Today, Chef Mills and his team provide experiences ranging from convenient drop-off catering to fully staffed events, luxury presentations, intimate private dinners, weddings, corporate functions, destination chef experiences, and customized culinary events.
Whether serving two guests at a private dinner or preparing for a large event, the goal remains consistent:
Great food. Professional execution. Thoughtful presentation. Memorable hospitality.
THE STILL WINNING PHILOSOPHY
Quality. Flavor. Experience.
For Chef Mills, a successful event isn’t simply about whether the food tasted good.
It’s about the entire experience.
The communication before the event.
The quality of the ingredients.
The flavor of the food.
The presentation when guests arrive.
The professionalism of the team.
And ultimately, how people feel when the experience is over.
That’s what Still Winning Kitchen represents.
MEET THE MAN BEHIND THE FOOD

Owner. Executive Chef. Entrepreneur.

“Still Winning isn’t just the name of the business. It’s the mindset behind everything we do.”
