Fatso Hard Kitchen, The Name

Today, Fatso Hard Kitchen carries forward that spirit of love, resilience, and connection. Every dish we create is part of a legacy that proves food is more than sustenance it’s family, tradition, and belonging.

Fatso Hard Kitchen was born from family, memory, and love. Raised by grandparents after losing her mother as a child,

Chef Wanda (Dubs) grew up surrounded by uncles who became father figures. One uncle, tall and unforgettable, earned the nickname “Fatso” a name that later came to her in a dream and became our brand.
