Preserving Culture One Plate At A Time

Come Back to the Table

Rooted in our foodways. Created for today. Made to be shared.

Wadulisi's is a contemporary Indigenous culinary business serving the Kansas City metropolitan area, rooted in Cherokee, Quapaw, and Seneca-Cayuga foodways. We cook for communities, teach, and work with institutions and organizations.

There is no single Indigenous cuisine. Our work is rooted in our own foodways, lived knowledge, research, and relationships, and makes room at the table for other Indigenous culinary voices.

"My goal isn't to recreate the past. It's to carry the knowledge forward."
Melissa Garrett, founder

How it works

1. Book a consultation.
2. We talk through what you need and recommend the right service.
3. You receive a proposal with pricing and next steps.

A consultation is a first step. It does not reserve a date on its own. See Booking & FAQ.
