The Angry Chicken isn’t just a food truck — it’s a movement. We bring the bold, soulful flavors of the African diaspora and fuse them into American classics, creating dishes that are both familiar and refreshingly new.

​

Owner and chef Martel Posey, born and raised on the Southeast side of Grand Rapids, MI, discovered cooking as both a creative outlet and a way to connect with his roots. What began as a hobby soon grew into a passion for exploring the shared flavors across the African diaspora — flavors that tell stories of resilience, culture, and tradition.

​

Martel’s entrepreneurial journey took shape after working with Patty Matters, a Grand Rapids staple, where he sharpened his skills and learned firsthand the power of food to bring people together. From there, The Angry Chicken was born — an entrepreneurial leap grounded in heritage, creativity, and community.

​

At The Angry Chicken, we believe food is more than a meal — it’s an experience and a chance to give back. That’s why we proudly support our community through direct giving to local nonprofits and by showing up where culture, flavor, and connection collide.
