Since 2022, in Roswell
A chef, a rescue, and a very good idea.
The Gourmutt Kitchen started in a home kitchen when Chef Mike decided his dog deserved a real dinner. It hasn’t stopped growing since.
— Meet Chef Mike
Twenty years cooking for people. Now he cooks for their dogs.
Mike spent two decades in Atlanta kitchens — line cook to chef, catering halls to boutique restaurants. He learned to source, to butcher, to season, and most of all to respect the ingredient.
When his own dog started slowing down, the vet aisle didn’t have an answer he trusted. So he did the only thing a chef knows how to do: he cooked.
“If I wouldn’t put that ingredient on my kid’s plate, I’m not putting it in your dog’s bowl. Full stop.”
— Mike
— What we believe
Four rules we cook by. No exceptions.
Rule 01
Human-grade, always
Every ingredient could go in your dinner. If Mike wouldn’t eat it, your dog doesn’t either.
Rule 02
Small batch, by hand
No extruders. No shelf-stable shortcuts. Cooked in small trays the way you’d cook for family.
Rule 03
Local before national
Georgia farmers. Georgia butchers. A Georgia storefront. Shop-local isn’t marketing — it’s the supply chain.
Rule 04
Transparent kitchen
You can walk in and watch us cook. The pass is open. Ask any question.
— How we got here
From a home kitchen to a Roswell bakery.
2019
The vet visit that started it all
A shelf full of ultra-processed kibble. A dog with a bad coat. Chef Mike walks out and starts cooking dinner for his own dog in a home kitchen.
2020
Friends start asking
Word gets around the neighborhood. Mike is packing meals into Tupperware for other Roswell dogs before he’s even named the thing.
2022
The Gourmutt Kitchen is born
GA Dept. of Agriculture licensed. Small commercial kitchen. Georgia Grown member. The Muttloaf recipe becomes the flagship.
2024
The bakery opens on Marietta Hwy
A real storefront in Roswell where you can watch the food get made, meet Mike, and pick up meals warm.
Today
Feeding hundreds of local dogs
Weekly small-batch drops, a Story Wall filling up with before/afters, and a community that treats their dogs like family — because they are.
— The Family Table
It's a family business. Actually, literally.
Mike’s family runs the counter, plates the trays, and knows most of the regulars by dog first, human second. Come by on a Saturday and you’ll usually meet at least three of us.

— On Marietta Hwy
The bakery that anchors it all.
You can walk in, watch the trays come out of the oven, and leave with dinner warm in the bag. Every meal we ship rolls out of this room first.
