First of all this WAVE 🌊 of emotions just came over me and I just had to express myself.... if you are seeing this post that means you follow my page. Most likely you have spent your hard earned money in my business. Maybe you have even shared my story, tagged a friend, told a friend, purchased food for a friend. I just want YOU to know yes YOU..... I am so GRATEFUL for you. I’m so emotional right now 😅but in a good way. Literally this business is my blood, sweat and tears. You ALL have been so supportive. I have made friends, I have done business with some of you, shared laughs with some of you . I’m just HAPPY, GRATEFUL & APPRECIATIVE of ALL of you. From the meat eaters, to the seafood lovers, to the vegans, gluten free, no bean lovers, extra sauce crew 😂😂. I wanted all of you to know this and if anyone knows me... I tell my TEAM aka my staff ... “TREAT MY CUSTOMERS RIGHT” 😂 I be going off sometimes lol... but that’s only because I love my people and times are hard, money isn’t coming easy for everyone. So when people spend their hard earned money with me, I want to treat them right... EVERY TIME!!!! Anyway... Thank you for listening to me lol 😁😁❤️😬😬❤️❤️👩🏾‍🍳👩🏾‍🍳👩🏾‍🍳

Big Announcement!
⠀
I’m excited to announce that I’ve teamed up with @the.southern.vegan to create a brand new menu item to be added to my Specials this week!
⠀
Introducing...THE SOUTHERN VEGAN BURGER 🍔
⠀
A @beyondmeat patty STUFFED with Jalapeños and @rooteddelights cheddar inside the patty!!! (Yes, you read that right, INSIDE) Topped with a crispy HASHBROWN, @rooteddelights mozzarella, sautéed onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Slathered in CHIPOTLE MAYO, and a sweet & thick KANSAS CITY BBQ sauce! Oh... and it comes with a side of Cajun Potato Wedges too🤤
⠀
Not only that, but for every burger sold, $1 will be donated to @renewrichmond — a nonprofit organization that uses urban agriculture as a tool to mitigate poverty in underserved Richmond communities. They work with several Richmond schools to develop school gardens, promote food access, and offer education in agriculture and environmental sustainability!
⠀
So come through this week and grab you The Southern Vegan Burger and feel good that your purchase will be supporting an amazing cause 🙏🏽
⠀
