Tillery started We Dat’s Chicken & Shrimp in 2013, when he cashed in his 401(k) to buy a food truck. Almost a decade (and 262,000 Instagram followers) later, the company boasts four locations and a national reputation for its “Wuzzam” wings and philanthropic efforts. We Dat’s purple and gold color scheme is an homage to Tillery’s alma mater, Edna Karr High School.
