We’re crafting food inspired by our original legend – mom. Mom went plant-based for her health, but the burgers she was eating were junk. So, we stepped up. Creating plant-based food with flavor like no other and making meals worthy of mom. Because if mom can’t eat it, no one should. We are a black-owned company and proud of what we’ve created. Proud to be leading the way for everyone craving legendary flavor.
