The brainchild of Me’Khelle “Chef Markell” Magee Sr, Southern Fried, is more than just a food trailer, we're a culinary journey through the heart and soul of Southern cuisine, rooted in the vibrant traditions of New Orleans' 6th Ward and Franklinton, Louisiana. Our mission is to bring the rich tapestry of Creole and Cajun flavors to every bite, creating an unforgettable experience that pays homage to the generations of passionate cooks who have perfected these cherished recipes.

Inspired by the bustling streets of the French Quarter and the warmth of a Bayou kitchen, we specialize in crafting exceptional fried fish and chicken that bear the unmistakable touch of authenticity. Every dish we serve tells a story, evoking the spirit of family gatherings, lively music, and the unique blend of cultures that make up the soul of the South.

Our commitment to using only genuine Creole and Cajun recipes passed down from generation to generation sets us apart. From the simmering depths of our gumbo to the fiery allure of red hot tamales, each dish is a testament to the time-honored techniques and ingredients that have defined Southern cuisine for centuries.

As we fry, season, and stir, we aim to capture the essence of New Orleans' 6th Ward and the heart of Franklinton, Louisiana – places where food isn't just sustenance but a celebration of life itself. We embrace our roots by sourcing locally whenever possible, ensuring that every bite bursts with freshness and the genuine flavors of the region.

At Southern Fried, we don't just serve food; we share the legacy of Creole and Cajun cooking with every customer who walks through our door. Our mission is to transport you to the heart of Louisiana, where flavors dance, memories are made, and every meal is a tribute to the remarkable heritage that continues to shape our culinary landscape.
