A Rich Legacy
Culture In A Bowl is more than a brand — it is a continuation of a family legacy that began in Detroit in the 1980s. The journey started with Aunt Phyllis Sancho, a proud Liberian chef and cultural ambassador whose love for food and culture created a lasting impact.
That foundation was carried forward by Tracy’s mother, Elouise Sirleaf, who taught her how to cook, preserving the traditions and techniques passed down through generations. Inspired by the women who came before her, Tracy created Culture In A Bowl to honor her roots and share West African culture through authentic cuisine and meaningful experiences.
