JUM JUM FINDS THE PERFECT RECIPE IN CAPE CHARLES

August 7, 2016 by Wayne Creed Leave a Comment

When I worked in DC, we never went out to lunch at a sit down place. Instead, we just said, “Let’s go down to the trucks.” The trucks of course were the lines of food trucks all along the sidewalk, selling everything from gourmet hot dogs to Thai to Punjabi. It was the perfect solution for web developers working 15 hour days…delicious meals at a reasonable price and served on the go.

JUM JUM by Rachel Savage and Khyber Rooney-Rabdau is bringing some of that excitement back to Cape Charles’ cuisine, a welcome change from fast food chains on the highway, and more convenient for those that don’t have an hour to break and relax for lunch…because we’re working.

So why fall in love with JUM JUM? There are many reasons. You don’t have to leave your comfort zone by going to a restaurant surrounded by stuffy people. You don’t have to wait for a seat, or be ill-treated by the food server staff, and you don’t have to pay a big bill.

Street Food is the Best

But even more than convenience, JUM JUM is a paradigm shift in our Town’s cuisine. They are creative and inventive chefs that know how to elevate street food to an exciting, high end experience. The tacos and burritos, whether pork, chicken or shrimp are delicious, fresh and made to order, topped with local fresh vegetables (avocado is extra), and a mouthwatering mango chili salsa. My favorite, the rice bowl is a smorgasbord of flavor, and you can go totally vegan, or add the meat of your choice. Also, don’t miss the Cuban sandwich when it is available, a unique take on the traditional Tampa Cuban, with pork, ham, swiss cheese and JUM JUM’s special sauce.

Another advantage to JUM JUM is that the platform is very agile; Rachel and Khyber can change up their menus based on what is fresh and available, or if they feel inspired to try something new. Unlike a traditional brick and mortar, where the chefs may be buried back in the kitchen, JUM JUM is a face to face operation, able to get feedback and quickly adjust the menu to meet the customer’s desire.

jumjum2JUM JUM is an easy and inexpensive way to be adventurous, to try new foods, new ingredients and new takes on traditional dishes. With JUM JUM right on Mason Avenue in the old Birdies Putt Putt lot, you no longer have to cross the bay to Ghent or VB for an exotic or ethnic meal. Also, if you want a late night snack, or have the munchies after a hard night of partying at the Pub or Shanty, JUM JUM is open Saturday late night 12:30-2:30AM serving signature tacos and burritos.

The foundation for the modern animal rights movement is the belief that nonhuman “animals have basic interests that deserve recognition, consideration, and protection. In the view of animal rights advocates, these basic interests give the animals that have them both moral and legal rights”. According to Jeremy Bentham (founder of modern utilitarianism),“The question is not, Can they reason?, nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?” In this vein, the 6th National Animal Rights Day (NARD6) event is July 24th and will take place in New York City’s Union Square Park North Pavilion.

Cruelty and the Truth about Dairy

February 21, 2016 by Wayne Creed 8 Comments

notyourMilkBesides humans, no species drinks milk beyond infancy, and never consumes the milk of another species. Cow’s milk is a refined substance especially suited to the nutritional needs of calves (calves have four stomachs and gain hundreds of pounds in a matter of months, sometimes weighing more than 1,000 pounds before they are 2 years old). According to the American Gastroenterological Association, when people ingest it, problems such as food allergies among infants and children can occur. Most people begin to produce less lactase, the enzyme that helps with the digestion of milk, when they are as young as 2 years old. This reduction can lead to lactose intolerance. Millions of Americans are lactose intolerant, and an estimated 90 percent of Asian-Americans and 75 percent of Native- and African-Americans suffer from the condition, which can cause bloating, gas, cramps, vomiting, headaches, rashes, and asthma.

One of the best way to ensure a happy, healthy gut and bulk up the immune system is by taking in hearty helpings of fermented and pickled foods. Fermented foods such as Sauerkraut contain probiotics which are the super agents that help our digestive and immune systems. Studies have found probiotics help protect against colon cancer and reduce intestinal problems. Probiotics can reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. So, what exactly are fermented foods? Two of the best examples are Sauerkraut and Kimchi. Sometimes it’s better to show than tell, so below are couple of simple recipes from One Green Planet:
