Started with a Skillet and a Dream

Iron Skillet was born on a Jacksonville street corner in 2018. It hasn't stopped rolling since.

From the Backyard to the Street

Chef Marcus Powell grew up cooking Sunday dinners with his grandmother in her Jacksonville kitchen. Collard greens, cornbread, smothered chicken โ€” the kind of food that makes you feel at home no matter where you are.

In 2018, he took those recipes to the streets. Starting with one truck and a handwritten menu, Iron Skillet became a fixture at local food truck rallies, farmers markets, and private events. Today the truck runs six days a week and has catered everything from small birthday parties to 300-person corporate events.

The mission has never changed: bold food, honest ingredients, and a good time for everyone in line.
