“The kitchen is my happy place.”
This is Luul.
She started with us nearly two years ago, cleaning the kitchen. Today she is the backbone of FoodLab - working as one of our chefs, and teaching our entrepreneurs how to use the equipment and scale their dishes in our kitchen.
Luul is from Eritrea and came here 13 years ago. She speaks Tigrinya, a language spoken by more than seven million people. She’s a mum of three, and she loves being in the kitchen.
Her famous injera makes everyone smile.
A kitchen is just a room with equipment in it. But Luul’s steadiness, her beautiful heart, her instinct to help the people around her — that is what makes this place what it is.
Two years in just a few week. We’re so lucky to have her.

“Lu Run is all about family - it’s a family food business. We sell Pacific Island food and drinks. But at our core it’s about serving people and making them feel like a part of our family and experiencing our culture through food.”
