Gallant Tiger started with a simple idea: the simplest foods deserve just as much care as the fancy ones.
Long before Kamal Mohamed became an award-winning chef and restaurateur, he was the Gallant Tiger mascot at South High in Minneapolis. After games, he made and sold PB&Js in the parking lot.
Years later, the sandwich kept showing up. Before Gallant Tiger, Kamal founded and helped build restaurants including Parcelle, Stepchld, Paperboy, and Nashville Coop. Years of chasing great ingredients and memorable flavors shaped the way we think about something as simple as a PB&J.
He noticed that after service, cooks would make PB&Js for themselves and the staff with good bread and whatever house-made jam was around. Simple food, made by people who spent all day obsessing over flavor.
Gallant Tiger was born in the after hours of the kitchen.
Anyone can remove the crust. We obsessed over everything else.
Strawberry Cardamom. Blueberry Lemon Thyme. Real fruit in combinations you'd expect on a restaurant menu, not in the freezer aisle.
Each sandwich has 10g of protein and 5g of fiber. They're 100% vegan, Kosher certified, and ready whenever you are.
But mostly, they're really damn good PB&Js.
Made for wherever the day takes you.
Grab one with your coffee. Throw one in your bag before a hike. Eat one between meetings, after a workout, on a road trip, at the airport, or whenever lunch is still two hours away.
Gallant Tiger is familiar food for people who grew up and want their snacks to do the same.
Our Mission
We make food with intention, in batches—not boardrooms—for people who grew up and want their snacks to do the same.
Our Principles
Taste over everything
Flavor is our north star. We lead with bold, unexpected taste and never regress to the mean.
Quality matters
The little things matter—in our ingredients, our products, our work, and how we treat people.
Courage to be gallant
Gallant means brave, bold, and willing to do the hard things. We take risks, own mistakes, and keep moving forward.
Curiosity fosters creativity
Curiosity leads to better food. It keeps us experimenting, learning, and finding combinations people didn't know they'd love.
Nourishment beyond food
Food should feed more than hunger. It should create memories, spark conversation, and bring people together.
