Kevin Ashton has grown a following of nearly 5 million by sharing his sorority house meals on TikTok

Every week, he makes nine meals for the girls, giving a behind-the-scenes look online

He loves the freedom of the job, such as making his own meal plan, getting summer breaks and being around such inspiring young women

As a restaurant chef, Kevin Ashton was used to cooking for crowds, but nowadays, his clientele looks a little different.

Ashton is a chef for the Pi Beta Phi chapter at the University of Nevada, Reno, cooking for nearly 30 sorority girls every week. Ashton tells PEOPLE he prepares nine meals each week, four dinners and five lunches, one of which is usually a big brunch spread for the girls on Fridays.

"I have a budget, and I break it down for those nine meals and go shopping. I shop every day, because it's easier for me, because every meal is so different," Ashton tells PEOPLE.

"Every morning on my way to work, I stop, pick up the ingredients I need, and I go in and I cook food and I do my videos, and the next day, we just start from fresh again, stop at the store, pick up everything I need."

While Ashton prefers to do his shopping the day of, he has to plan his daily menu in advance, giving the girls a chance to give him feedback. They also have the option of choosing an alternative meal, like a burger or a salad, if they don't like what's on the menu that day.
