Monster Energy/Yamaha Star Racing’s Levi Kitchen is a gem. If you follow him on social media you’ll know that he’s a savage and constantly ripping on his fellow team members. I had the chance to do an interview with him in the offseason and talk about his first full season as a professional. Well, with the cancellation of the Oakland Supercross this past weekend, I figured that this would be a great opportunity for our first rendition of: Ask Chef. Before we started this Q and A he did say that he would only do this if I was asking the questions. So, I believe I now have all of the Kitchen scoops for you guys before all of the other media. These questions are terrible. Enjoy!
Vurbmoto: Who is your pick to win the Super Bowl?
Levi Kitchen: I don’t even know and I don’t really care. I’m not a football guy. I’ll go with the Chiefs.
The Bengals were the correct answer, but I’ll let it slide. Who was the last person that made you nervous?
My shadow every time I get out of the gym.
Can you beat everyone on your team in arm wrestling?
Absolutely not, Smitty [Jordon Smith] would break my arm.
What’s the weirdest thing that you keep in your race locker?
A blanket for a nap probably.
What is Bobby Reagan’s favorite thing to do to chill out away from the track?
I think he likes to hunt and drive his truck way too fast.
If you were a fish, which one would you be and why?
I’d be a bull trout because they are the shit. They eat other fish and they are just savage.
You picked a cannibal fish, should we be concerned?
That’s for you to decide.
If you were stuck on a deserted island with one media guy or girl that covers this sport, who would it be?
I have no idea, man. I think I’d be better off surviving by myself.
If you brought your fishing boat to Oakland, would you have won?
100%
Can you name five riders that raced in the 1980s?
Without looking it up, no.
What about the 1990s? No cheating.
Well, my Northwest boys Ryan Huffman and Jason McCormick, RC, Jeff Emig, oh five…Let’s go with Nate Ramsey. Boom there’s five.
I’m proud of you. You made me feel old though. What is the weirdest fan interaction that you’ve ever had? Have you had any stalkers? Or what about interesting things given to you?
I’ve honestly never had anything strange. I have pissed some people off though. Guys asking for jerseys knowing they are going to put them on eBay and I’ll tell them I don’t have one and go grab one really quick and offer it to a kid. It’s so easy to tell the difference in someone who’s truly a fan.

In basketball, which squad is winning?
Man, I’m going to have to go with my team, but that is without ever seeing Dylan holding a basketball. So, I don’t know. I’m probably losing.
