It's a family affair as sisters from Austin's Eastside emerge with twin food trucks honoring their mother's legacy.
Twin souls: Timisha Jones and Tieisha Hyder carry on their mother's legacy with their respective food trucks
“I love the community. I love the supporters. They motivate me to do everything that I get up and try to do.” Hyder originally began cooking professionally as a way to make money while dealing with her own issues: Namely, that she was shot in the head and back when she was 20 years old. She says,"I was actually up the street from Givens … I was young, but I didn't have any business being that way … [They shot up the] party and I was an innocent bystander.
Jones' truck, Big Mama's Kitchen, operates at 12th and Springdale alongside Hungry Hill Handwash and Detail, which helps long-term unhoused residents of East Austin find employment. Across the street from Jones' truck is Sims Elementary , Country Boyz Fixins , and thriving coffee shop Palomino Coffee.
Jones' truck has a consistent menu that focuses on traditional soul food cuisine. She knocks soul food out of the park with her well-seasoned takes on classic comfort foods like pork chops or chicken-fried chicken. Her personal favorites are the Dirty Damn Cajun Chicken Tenders and the boudin balls, while Campbell cites the pork chops as his go-to meal.
