Built from a home kitchen. Grown with heart.
Lex'irriaz started in 2021 out of Alexis's home kitchen while she was attending Aveda after COVID and trying to make extra money for her family. It began with chili, seafood boils, and tacos sold once a week — some Fridays with just a few orders, some with none.
Then word spread. Small orders turned into lunch catering, then 40 meals, then 70, then 127 meals served out of a home kitchen in a single day. That momentum brought attention, and not all of it was good. After being reported to the health department multiple times and receiving a cease and desist right before a big event, Alexis nearly gave up.
Instead, she rebuilt. She got her LLC, rented a kitchen in Stoughton, packed tables, grills, food, and serving supplies into a U-Haul, and served events the hard way for a year and a half — loading in, setting up, serving, packing out, and doing it all again.
The turning point came in 2023 around the Luke Bryan Farm Tour in Evansville. What felt like chaos turned into a breakthrough event that helped raise about $17,000 toward the food trailer. Because Alexis loves music and singing, that season became part of the reason Lex'irriaz evolved into the karaoke food trailer experience it is today.
