Our Story

Leola’s Kitchen. The name comes from my Grandma —one of the greatest Soul Food Cooks in the world. Nothing was better than the smell of her kitchen. As a little girl, I used to sit in a chair next to the oven and watch her create magic. In Southern Families, it was her food that brought us together.

Fusion on Wheels

Now, that cherished heritage comes to life at Leola's Kitchen, a food truck startup. The menu reflects our Southern roots infused with influences from around the world during my 21 years in the Army.
