Hey, I'm Tilly.
I cook the food that makes people feel at home — even when they're standing in a field at a festival.
How it started
I grew up in my grandmother's kitchen in East Nashville. She cooked everything from scratch — biscuits every morning, mac and cheese every Sunday, fried chicken for every occasion worth celebrating. I didn't realize until I was older that what she was really doing was taking care of people.
I spent twelve years in restaurant kitchens after culinary school. I loved the craft, but I missed the feeling. The connection. The moment someone takes a bite and their whole face changes.
So in 2019, I bought a beat-up trailer, painted it red, and started rolling to farmers markets and festivals. I haven't looked back.
The way I cook
Made from scratch
Every sauce, every batter, every biscuit. No shortcuts, no premade mixes. If my grandmother wouldn't recognize it as cooking, I'm not doing it.
Local when we can
I source from Nashville-area farms and suppliers whenever the season allows. Good ingredients don't need much help.
Community first
The trailer exists because of the people who show up, week after week. I cook for them. I remember their orders. That's the whole point.
Come say hi.
I'm at the trailer every weekend. I love meeting people, talking food, and hearing what you think. Find us at an event near you.
