An MLS season is a test of endurance. League matches, cup runs, and travel stack up fast, and a congested fixture list punishes anyone who eats on guesswork. Staying sharp from preseason to the playoffs takes a plan built around your training cycle.
Chef Bill Blackburn provides MLS athlete meal services built on farm to table sourcing and the standards of a professional sports kitchen. Daily meal prep, match-day fueling, and recovery nutrition, calibrated to your macros and delivered across Southern California.
Full-service catering and event planning company
Who We Help
This service is for players who treat food as part of training, not an afterthought. A congested season rewards consistency, and consistency starts with what you eat every day.
We work directly with players, and just as often with the people around them. Agents who need a trusted referral. Team dietitians and nutritionists who set the macros and want them followed exactly. Strength and conditioning coaches focused on recovery and durability. Family members who run the household.
The concerns are always the same. Will the macros be right. Will the food show up during a packed fixture run. Will anyone find out who the client is. We built this service to answer all three.
Our MLS Meal Service Options
Every plan is built around your targets, your position, and your taste. Nothing here is a fixed package. The options below are what most players use.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks portioned to your daily targets and labeled by meal. Protein, carbs, and fats measured, not estimated. We cook around your preferences and any restrictions, so the food fits your routine instead of fighting it.
Common scope: full daily prep in season, lighter maintenance prep in the offseason.
Pre-match and post-match meals timed to kickoff and recovery. Portable, road-ready options for away matches and midweek fixtures when the team travel and hotel menu fall short.
Pre-match and post-match meals timed to kickoff and recovery. Portable, road-ready options for away matches and midweek fixtures when the team travel and hotel menu fall short.
Anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense meals built for the days your body is repairing. We adjust around heavy minutes, congested fixtures, and the grind of the second half of the season.
Meals delivered to your home, prepped in your kitchen, or both. Service is private and low-profile by default. Your name and schedule stay between us.

Our Process
The setup is fast and built around your team. Three steps, clear timelines, no disruption to your routine.
Step 1
Share your targets, schedule, food preferences, and any restrictions. If you work with a dietitian or nutritionist, we take the macros straight from them and follow the plan they set.
Step 2
We build a weekly menu and prep schedule around your numbers and the fixture calendar. You review and adjust before anything is cooked. No reused menus from other clients.
Step 3
We source, cook, portion, and deliver on the schedule we agree on. Plans flex with away matches, midweek fixtures, and how your body is responding through the season. Most players start with a one to two week trial before committing to a full-season rhythm.
