Who is TKG Theory?
A social media studio built for restaurants. Founded in San Diego, based in Los Angeles and serving all of Southern California.
Started in San Diego in July 2025 with one simple theory
Restaurants make the most craveable things in the city, but most of them don't have time to film, edit and post every week. So we do it for them.
TKG Theory opened in San Diego in July 2025. Within a few months, an 8lb ramen challenge we dreamed up for RakiRaki pulled in more than 30 million views. Today we manage more than 61K followers across our restaurant partners and post fresh content every single week. The studio is now based in Los Angeles and works with restaurants all through Southern California.
We're foodies first. We talk the way your guests talk, we know what makes a bowl of ramen look irresistible on a phone screen, and we'd rather make you laugh than sell you something.
Named after a bowl of comfort
Tamago kake gohan: hot rice, a raw egg and a splash of soy sauce. Three humble ingredients, endlessly craveable. That's our recipe for content, too.
