The Beginning
The story of Magnolias Kitchen begins with two people on two separate journeys whose paths eventually came together in the tiny majestic town of Boulder, Utah.
In 2014, we had a new baby on the way and the decision was made to stay and create a life in Boulder. Magnolia Grace Apperson was born and Magnolia's Street Food was established.
Magnolias Kitchen is owned and operated by Garin and Haylee Apperson, with help from their daughters Magnolia Grace and Emmylou Maxine.
The Bus
Our first kitchen began as a 14-foot trailer. We started cooking food and making a name for ourselves. Three years later, Magnolia's changed to a 1993 aqua-colored Chevy Bluebird Bus and has been cooking seasonally 7 days a week.
The move to Escalante
Since those early beginnings, Magnolias has moved to the nearby town of Escalante, surrounded by the beauty of The Grand Staircase National Monument. Now Magnolias Kitchen but still serving the same great food with the addition of coffee, baked goods and a colorful local art gallery to shop!
Made with love, from scratch
The intention was set with passions surrounding food: to provide our community and its visitors with a variety of delicious Street Foods.
We use ingredients from local gardens, farmers, and ranchers helping to preserve food culture, support our town, and protect our environment.
The Loubird Inn
In 2022, we purchased a pioneered homestead in Escalante, Utah built in 1905. Now The Loubird Inn, a boutique experience surrounded by The Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Our vision, the warm desert sunshine, a place where your cozy art inspired rooms and lush gardens await you after a long day of desert travels.
