The Joy Bus was founded in 2011 by award-winning chef, Jennifer Caraway, and named in honor of her dear friend Joy, who struggled with the debilitating side effects of ovarian cancer. Her grace, drive, and determination inspire us to help those who fight that same battle. Our mission is to improve the lives of our clients through good food and company.

Every dish has a story. 🍴

For Jennifer Caraway, food is more than a recipe. It's a memory, a place and the people we love.

Our shakshuka was inspired by a tiny café discovered during Jennifer's honeymoon in England. It has become a Diner staple, featuring eggs poached in a rich tomato and roasted pepper stew, warm spices, sheep’s milk feta, labneh, fresh dill and a grilled slice of our housemade bread.

This National Culinary Arts Month, we're celebrating the stories, traditions and experiences that inspire every meal we create because the best food doesn't just feed us, it connects us.

What's a dish that tells your story?
