Southside BBQ Company

Chef-owner Jacko Ourfalian has spent two decades building a reputation for food that’s both chef-driven and wildly approachable. After years in professional kitchens and a fine-dining foundation, he brought his skills to the streets—launching Street Kitchen LA in 2010, part of the early wave that helped make Los Angeles a food-truck capital. The concept earned a loyal following by pairing high-quality ingredients with bold, comfort-forward flavors and the kind of hospitality you remember.

From city streets to fairs, festivals, and private events, Street Kitchen proved that “fast” could still be thoughtful and technique-driven. Jacko is taking that same energy into his first brick-and-mortar restaurant: a place where the creativity of a chef meets the soul of street food, with menu items designed to be craveable, shareable, and consistently executed—every single day.

It’s the next chapter of a career built on craft, hustle, and feeding the community—one unforgettable bite at a time.
