Our Story

Bikini Panini is Richmond, Virginia's very popular food truck serving a delicious variety of grilled, pressed sandwiches, Paella, & Ratatouille entrees, homemade soups, fresh baked goods and ice cream. Taste the sunshine!

We're available for lunch, dinner, festivals, corporate events, private parties, brewery & winery events, farmers' markets, construction sites, or any other food truck needs you might have!

I am Laura Daab, the Chef/Owner of Bikini Panini food truck and have been an avid cook most of my life. My favorite memories come from the yellow kitchen in my childhood home where my mom cooked and baked constantly. Learning from her and inspired by my favorite cuisine, I focus on Coastal Mediterranean cooking that incorporates lots of fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients.

Starting Bikini Panini was an unplanned opportunity and reinvention for me. My degree is in Marketing Communications and I was a theatrical producer for 20 years with a company I owned with my husband, Jim. We were hit hard by the Great Recession and shut our doors 5 years ago. I struggled to find a full-time, corporate job so I freelanced as a house painter, Marketing/PR Manager for a local theatre company, and worked on a frozen yogurt truck for a while.
