Hope Heroes Southern Kitchen | Our Story
The people, the purpose, the plate
H.O.P.E. stands for Helping Other People Eat. Every plate you order here helps make that happen.
What's in a name
H.O.P.E. stands for Helping Other People Eat — and a Hero is anyone who joins the fight against hunger. You don't need a cape. Just an appetite.
Trent and Dee
Twenty-five years married, twenty-plus in business — from food trucks at Richmond antique auctions to launching Ginger in Carytown. Hope Heroes is where it all landed.
Built into the business
Hope Heroes is a Virginia Benefits Corporation that channels profits to The Hub of Hope — a nonprofit for families who fall through the cracks. Over 53,000 meals served and counting.
The food itself
Sweet tea braised brisket, chicken and waffles, a house BBQ sauce regulars won't stop talking about. Real Southern cooking that hits every time.
