Defiance Cafe

We’re a food truck on a mission to give hard-working people everywhere access to food that’s fresh, fast, affordable, and delicious.

About us

Defiance Café was founded in 2024 by Chaney and Dana Harrison in Swannanoa, North Carolina. The purpose: give hard-working people access to fresh grab-and-go food.

Hit by Hurricane Helene, the two opened the kitchen in mid-October, and delivered more than 16,000 meals to volunteers and families in need over the following four months.

Dedicated to service, Chaney has a background as an Air Force Pararescueman. He provides search and rescue and sustainment efforts across the Valley and beyond, including logistical deliveries to isolated communities — which in part identified and inspired the purpose of Defiance Café.

Chaney and Dana are committed to the rebuilding and revitalization of the Swannanoa Valley, and are so excited to share the vision, and food, with you.
