Our Founder's Story

 

Greetings everyone! 💚

The only regret I have is not embracing a whole food plant-based lifestyle sooner! My journey began when I was just an 8-year-old girl, coming home to a bustling kitchen in our first family home. With both my parents working hard to provide for us, my job was to ensure my little sister started her homework and then dive into cooking.

My dad was a beloved figure, known far and wide for his love of bringing people together to eat, laugh, and share. He understood that food was a universal language that united people. Inspired by him, I grew up valuing family, meaningful connections, and the joy of creating lasting memories through food.

Though I may not be a professional chef, my passion for cooking shines brightly. Raised in the South, I learned the importance of gratitude, family, and the power of a shared meal. It’s second nature for me to invite friends over or surprise them with a home-cooked meal, creating a space where they can relax and enjoy good food and conversation.

Even now, at local whole food plant-based meet-ups, I’m always eager to hear feedback: “How did you like the food? Anything you’d change? What would you like to see?” My goal is to infuse every dish with love, joy, and passion, ensuring that each bite tells a story of care and dedication.

This is why I’m committed to creating a unique experience with my whole food plant-based mobile restaurant. I want to share my vision with everyone who believes in the power of food to bring people together, even if I’m not as well-versed as some others in the field. This is me, Debra. What you see is what you get, but trust me – the food will speak volumes, because after all, I was born for this!
