MEET LISA
Lisa Arce grew up in a loud, loving Italian-American household in Westchester County, where the kitchen was the center of everything. Food wasn’t just dinner, it was how her family said, “I love you.”
Fast forward to her 50’s, Lisa picked up her phone and started sharing what she knew: real recipes, real opinions, and absolutely zero filter. What began as simple kitchen videos quickly turned into something bigger, a community. A place where people come not just for the food, but for Lisa’s unfiltered take on life, delivered with humor, honesty, and heart.
She’s the friend who always has your back, but will also tell you if that dress isn’t your color.
Over a million people showed up because Lisa says the things everyone else is thinking but won’t say out loud.
After her account was banned, she rebuilt on Substack, launched a backup account, and turned the experience into proof that you can’t silence someone who refuses to be quiet.
Kitchen Killa Lisa is the brand born from all of it, the food, the fire, the community, and the refusal to fake it.
REAL TALK
Life after 50, menopause, aging, livin’ in the burbs, and everything in between. The conversations nobody’s having, said out loud. With humor, honesty, and zero filter, this is the space for real opinions, shared experiences, and the kind of truth that makes you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
BEAUTY
Honest skincare and makeup reviews, no fluff, just what actually works and what’s a waste of your money. I’ve had the opportunity to meet with top brands and test products firsthand, learning what they are, how they work, and who they’re really for. Then I bring it back to you, simplified, unfiltered, and always honest.
FOOD
Italian family recipes passed down for generations, rice balls, Sunday sauce, homemade pizza, and stuffed artichokes, the kind of food that feels like home. But I also love stepping outside my comfort zone and exploring different cuisines and flavors. Around here, it’s real food, real life, no perfection, and a little attitude.
