Our Chef
With over 49 years of culinary experience and more than 26 years dedicated to the bold, vibrant flavors of Jamaican cuisine, Marcus McLemore is more than just a chef - he’s a cultural ambassador of Caribbean food. Born with a passion for cooking and raised in kitchens filled with tradition, Marcus has spent a lifetime perfecting the art of flavor, fire, and finesse.
Driven by a deep love for his wife's Jamaican heritage, Marcus makes regular culinary pilgrimages back to the island - not just to reconnect with family and friends, but to cook alongside local chefs, street vendors, and home cooks who keep authentic Jamaican cooking alive and thriving. Whether he's seasoning meat under the Caribbean sun or slow-smoking jerk chicken in the heart of Kingston, Marcus brings those roots back to Kool Runnin’, infusing every dish with soul and authenticity.
At Kool Runnin', Marcus combines his decades of experience with an uncompromising commitment to quality - preparing every meal with love, respect, and the kind of detail that only comes from living the culture behind the cuisine. From his fire-kissed jerk to slow-braised oxtails and richly spiced curries, every plate tells a story of family, heritage, and home.

“I don’t just cook Jamaican food - I live it, breathe it, and share it with every plate.” – Marcus McLemore
