Our Story

“Honoring Legacy Through Food”

Bootsie’s Kitchen was born from the heart and hands of Naomi “Bootsie” Smith, a beloved grandmother, mother, and community matriarch. Known for her no-nonsense wisdom and endless generosity, she passed down her love of cooking to her grandchildren — especially the boys — teaching them the joy of gathering family around the table.

This food trailer is more than a business. It is a living tribute to Bootsie’s legacy and to her eldest sister, Hattie Jenkins (1946–2024), who stood beside her in the kitchen and in life. Every cheesesteak, hot dog, and plate we serve carries their spirit of Family, Faith, and Food.
