Thoughts on Veganism Update and Clarification: 3/15/13 Station 22 was recently featured in a poorly researched expose featuring hearsay from a third party source. Some comments continue to trickle in from some people who may not have been a...
It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it.
Delicious Music
Now, I don't want to overstate my case, but I pretty much owe all that is Station 22 to one man and a sweet, sweet voice: Justin Townes Earle. I know. It's probably not lost on you that he's kind of a goofy-looking dude. But, that's kind of the p...
Worth Reading…And Listening To!
Our last post was about music and what we are listening to, this time around I thought we'd have a little "food for thought" and talk about what we are reading in the book isle, on the blogs and listening t...
What we’re listening to: Birdmonster
One of my all-time favorite bands--and a Station 22 favorite-- is Birdmonster, a rock band out of foggy San Francisco. Birdmonster is true American rock'n'roll. With influences from Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and other classic American rockers, ...
On Americana
I love the time we're living in. Culturally, we're experiencing a return to our roots and a widely resurging interest in all things "Americana". Wikipedia describes "Americana" as referring to: "artifacts, or a collection of artifact...
A Little Introduction
Its been quite a first month at Station 22 Cafe and as I take a minute to look back at the journey that led me here all I can say is it feels like I've arrived back home. Between our no-nonsense approach to feel good food and the warm hospitality that ...
Our New Chef
We have an exciting announcement to make. As many of you are aware, our very talented Chef Brittany moved back to San Francisco a couple months ago and we have been searching for a suitable replacement. Station 22 has been growing & thriving and we have been in need of some strong leadership to help take us to the next level with both Station 22 and Old Adobe Catering Co., as well as some of the other plans you may have heard about.
Well, we are pleased to announce that we have found that someone! Please welcome to our family Jason Talcott, Executive Chef. Here's a little info about Jason:
"Chef Jason Talcott’s personal take on cuisine is deeply rooted in the traditions and classics of regional American Cuisine. From the Italian influenced steakhouses of his Midwest youth to catfish and hushpuppy frys on the banks of the Missouri river, he was destined for a life surrounded by great food and great stories before he even realized it. A career in the military and ultimately cooking for secretaries of defense Cohen and Rumsfeld opened his eyes to the wealth of culinary traditions across the country. From the culinary haute and traditions of Delmonico’s and Commanders Palace to the random Blue Plate Diner and Luncheonette counters of Anytown, USA, there are deep roots and culinary traditions that ache to be preserved, played upon and reimagined, much like our country itself. I invite you to enjoy our food and hope that in doing so you create and share food stories of your own. Enjoy!"
How's that sound for a great fit with Station 22? Jason came to us first as a diner, then a regular, now he's playing for the team! That's how you can trust that Jason will bring his best to Station 22 and all of you loyal friends & fans.
Thanks so much for your support and if you recognize Jason in the Station, give him a high five and a welcome aboard! (Or kick him in the pants if you didn't like your food! :P )
