About Us
We were tired of a market overrun with expensive, blah food, and sketchy operators. This is our solution.
We act intentionally, from sourcing locally, to working with other small businesses, to helping our human community at large. Find out more below.

We believe in the power of food to bring people together—not just around the grill, but in making a meaningful impact in our community.
“Money Meet Mouth” embodies this belief by dedicating our resources to local causes and international nonprofits that align with our values of nourishment, education, and sustainability. Every meal you enjoy with us not only satisfies your stick fix but also contributes to the welfare of our human community. See below for our current partner.
Join us in making a difference—one stick at a time.

Co-Founder & Chief Spice Maven
Favorite sticks: Merguez
Algerian heritage, French-born. Nina grew up immersed in a rich culture of North-African foods and the finest spices Paris has to offer. She brings a keen eye (and nose!) to our spice blends, and the fine touch needed to make the fluffiest Maghreb couscous in town.
