*HUMBLE REQUEST*

Oh hey, well... this is awkward, right?

My name is Justin Dixon and this is Humble Mumble. Humble Mumble is my pop up that I hope to grow into something even more in the future but baby steps. First lets get the pop up off the ground. Here's where you come in, I would like to ask (Humbly...pun intended) that you help me get it going on a solid foundations. Your contributions will go directly toward building infrastructure (including licensing, permits, business insurance, POS system etc), funding pop ups (including food purchases, tools, transportation expenses, and staffing) and building an organic following that fosters engagement (social media necessities like a really good camera, graphic design software, and merch). Also any unforeseen cost that may arise.

 

If you are interested in following our journey, follow us on instagram! Here you can stay up to date with our fall pop-ups, special dinners, and keep up with our progress. I couldn't have gotten to this point without the support from my friends, family and ATL restaurant community, anything helps, so thank you for your support, Humbly!

*SHAMELESS PROPAGANDA*

Humble Mumble is a unique black owned and operated pop-up by Chef Justin Dixon. Humble Mumble is a sandwich shop by day serving crafted a menu using sustainable proteins cooked in house, house-made pickles, condiments, fresh seasonal produce, and artisan bread elevating the humble sack lunch. At night humble mumble is a small plate driven pop up serving “Atlanta cuisine”. While we strive to put out the best service and most delicious product we are more than a pop up.

 

The name Humble Mumble comes from Chef Justin’s favorite Outkast song on their album Stankonia.

The song is speaks of humility, and the importance of holding on to dreams in the face of adversity; touches on themes of racism, stereotypes, and the inability of leaders of the world to help people and promotes perseverance and social action “Do you want to live or wanna exist?”

The themes of the song touch on values that we hold dear hard work, positivity, standing up to adversity and injustice, perseverance, helping and elevating people, breaking stereotypes, and humility.

 

THE PURPOSE

To feed the soul, the culture, the community.

 

PHILOSPHY

Our philosophy is based on a portion of Local Three’s, the Atlanta institution where Chef Justin cut his teeth, philosophy on food, drink, hospitality and how to do business. That philosophy is straightforward: People Matter Most. May it be the guest we serve, the people we employ, the artisans we partner with or the people in the community we share. The people matter most, we succeed when we take care of the people. Because without the people, Humble Mumble is just for walls.

 

VALUES

These are the values that guide us on food, drink, hospitality and how to do business. Driven by our mission and the desire to do what they love, and to be the very best in the industry.
