Meet Brendon Williams of Lil Wills Hot Box

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brendon Williams.

Brendon, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
My story started as a young teen watching my dad always being creative with many different foods. I admired not only what he created for family gatherings but how it brought him joy and happiness.

Of course cooking was my passion but this one particular dish my family created everyone loved it. They loved our smoked chicken salad so much that it made me think of how could I get others experience this flavor. I started off selling 16oz personal bowls and soon people wanted more than just a personal bowl they wanted to share with their families. I went on to sell catering trays to family functions as well as businesses. My passion overnight turned into something way more than I ever expected it to be and to know this is just my beginning is mind-blowing. My passion turned into dreams and my dreams are now turning into reality!

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I believe with every journey you take there will always be some hardships. With my faith and determination I know I can succeed further in life especially with my support system!

So, as you know, we’re impressed with Lil Wills Hot Box – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.
My business is growing and maturing each and every day, but what really sets us apart from competitors we are not only a team working together but a real family. We make sure everything is made the way the customers know and love and not what we assume. Currently, I prepare a smoke chicken salad that is served with crackers and or sliced toast. What we specialize in is giving the customers real smoke flavor by smoking the chicken itself for numerous about of hours to obtain its rich and smoky flavor!

So, what’s next? Any big plans?
Honestly, I did not expect for things to move so fast with my chicken salad being that I’ve only been selling since December of 2018. I knew I had something good that people would love and wanted to see how I would do. Starting off with my smoke chicken salad is just the tip of the iceberg that I have for everyone to taste and love. For the future, I plan to offer many more things to the menu and branching out to not only a food truck but vendors for stores as well as maybe even a restaurant.
