Joyce Marie’s Soulfood Kitchen is growing from family traditions, more than 20 years of food industry experience, and a passion for bringing people together through authentic soul food. Owners Erick Lewis and Joyce Eutsler have spent years perfecting their recipes, serving customers, and growing their signature BBQ sauce, all while working toward their larger dream of opening their own restaurant.
Through Stockton Community Kitchen, Erick and Joyce have received one-on-one business coaching, educational workshops, and technical assistance covering business planning, licensing and permits, marketing, grant opportunities, and strategies for growing their business. Today, they’re continuing to build awareness of their BBQ sauce while creating a stronger foundation for the future.
We’re proud to be part of their journey and to support local food entrepreneurs as they turn their experience, recipes, and ideas into growing businesses.
