Tastes Of Bainbridge

Organic & locally grown? At a gas station?? Really??? Who ever heard of organic, locally grown, healthy nutritious fast-ish food at a ... gas station??  Meet Jake Angel, Executive Chef of Jake’s Pickup, a restaurant / diner / dive at the Chevron gas station at the corner of highway 305 and High School Rd. In this mouth-watering interview, Jake tells BCB host Channie Peters how and why he has brought this new paradigm of healthy wholesome cuisine to a gas station food store on Bainbridge Island. He describes what healthy delicious fare he offers up six days a week to everyone from the ferry traveler, to local regulars at the counter, to those of us needing a break from cooking. Jake’s kitchen sources their ingredients from local farms, local breweries and even local hens.  The pizza dough, buns and bread for his signature pulled pork sandwiches and hamburgers are baked fresh by Jake and his mother every morning with organic flour and local eggs.  And beware the sconut, a cross between a scone and a donut,
