That's Bussin' • Memphis flavor universe
That's Bussin' started with Memphis flavor and a bigger vision.
Kernelz Gourmet Popcorn is the first proof of concept: a bold, small-batch snack line built to show what the That's Bussin' brand can become.
Made In Memphis
That's Bussin' began as a Memphis-made food idea with a simple point of view: big flavor, personality, and products that feel fun before the first bite.
Kernelz Proved The Concept
Kernelz Gourmet Popcorn became the first real product line: sweet, cheesy, spicy, frozen-inspired, candy-coated, and limited flavors that customers can order now.
Bigger Than One Snack
That's Bussin' is the parent brand and flavor universe. Kernelz is the active popcorn and snack line, but the broader vision leaves room for more food concepts over time.
Founder • Flavor Architect • Tech + Taste
Meet the Flavor Engineer
That's Bussin' was created by Kesh Monique, a Memphis-based tech professional, creative, mom, and builder who brought systems thinking, late-night ideas, and a whole lot of flavor into entrepreneurship.
Kernelz started in her kitchen as a popcorn experiment and became the first proof that the That's Bussin' flavor universe could be bigger than one snack line.
The bigger vision connects bold food, creativity, community, safe workplaces, youth tech opportunities, and future spaces where overlooked people can build real skills.
Popcorn that's out of this galaxy.
