OZ and Valencia Kamara know what it feels like to be thinking about their next meal, or in Valencia’s words, to be “legit hungry.” Therefore, it was not their plan to build a restaurant that would serve people across Sacramento. OZ was simply the best at smoking meat in their neighborhood. Word of mouth though turned birthday parties into large catering gigs. Before long, starting a restaurant didn’t seem so crazy. So, they made the leap. The Kamaras found a place, bought industrial size kitchen equipment, and hired employees. Then the pandemic hit. This story shows how a family’s bond, both to each other and their community, not only kept them afloat when all felt lost, but led them to thrive and tend to the needs of others in a way they never imagined.
