Established in 2010, The King’s Kitchen is managed by Noble Food & Pursuits and donates 100% of profits from sales to feed the poor in the Charlotte region. Additionally, The King’s Kitchen partners with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Dream Center and other local area ministries to provide job-training, life-skills training, social etiquette workshops, financial management guidance and employment intern opportunities to Charlotteans in search of a new beginning.
And while every penny of profit at The King’s Kitchen has a higher calling, each bite of the food served to patrons, features Chef Noble’s signature “New Local Southern Cuisine.” Specialties include premium Carolina organic produce paired with fine meats like our famous Aunt Beaut’s Pan Fried Chicken.
Nearly three decades later, Noble Food & Pursuits is known for featuring local ingredients of exceptional quality, resulting in dishes Chef Noble describes as “New Local Southern Cuisine.” Jim Noble Restaurants include Rooster’s Wood-Fired Kitchen in Uptown and SouthPark, A Noble Grille in Winston-Salem, Noble Smoke, Bossy Beulah's Chicken Shack, and Copain Bakery. Culinary distinction is available at all of Jim Noble’s Restaurants, but it is inside the walls of The King’s Kitchen where his passion for food feeds a higher purpose.
Twelve years before opening the doors of The King’s Kitchen, Chef Noble and his wife Karen were awakened to a calling from God. Rather than open another restaurant to simply feed the body, the Nobles were called to start a ministry that would nourish the soul.
In 1998, Jim and Karen started Restoration Word Ministries (RWM) and their weekly radio broadcast ministry, The Voice of Healing Faith. An ordained minister, Jim uses this outreach as a way to share the teachings of Christ as well as remain open to the ways God calls him to serve. Over time, Jim recognized the relationship of his two passions – serving food and serving God – and was led to the ministry of feeding the poor.
In the Fall of 2014 the was formed by a team of volunteers on a quest to find an Uptown Charlotte building to find a permanent home to meet the needs of those who need it most in our city. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Dream Center will be closely working with The King’s Kitchen, The Restoring Place Church and other area nonprofits and is currently helping with their feeding and discipleship/life skills training classes. The Dream Center is a member of the Dream Center Network founded by the passion of Pastor Tommy Barnett, and his son Matthew in Los Angeles, CA twenty years ago. Network members work together with centers from across the United States to reach people and see the incredible transformation in people’s lives.
