Grab a mouthful of pickled carrots, barbecued meat, cilantro, and jalapeños, all served on a crunchy baguette in the Bahn Mi at Jam Joy Bungalow’s new restaurant on the Sebastopol Square. This popular sandwich isn’t the only thing on the menu that features French and Vietnamese culinary influence. There’s also a Vietnamese Ice Coffee served with locally brewed Bella Rosa and condensed milk.
Jamilah Nixon-Mathis’ take on Southeast Asian flavors at her new brick and mortar is a blend of cultures celebrating the fresh ingredients abundantly available in Sonoma County. Her food truck still operates as a catering option for private events, showing up around town as a high-spirited bright neon pink truck and serving up street food with street cred. Hints of Jamilah’s time spent cooking in Thailand emerges from each bite as it swirls around with the kind of fresh ingredients that the region is known for. Open Thursday through Monday from 11:30 a.m. through 2:00 p.m.
Enjoy a special pop-up here from SubHuman Sandwich Shop, featuring a Crabby Boi filled with earthy pea shoots, a heaping amount of sweet Dungeness crab hinted with sesame oil, and topped with a light grapefruit turmeric vinaigrette on a toasted potato roll. The Chicken Parm Vodka Bomb sando is another indulgent selection with creamy vodka sauce, spicy arugula, and burrata atop a fried chicken cutlet in a bun.
