Zada Janes Restaurant
FINALLY…someone decided to bring a healthy food option to the Central Avenue corridor. Don’t get me wrong, I love a greasy Penguin Big Block as much as the next classy gal. But when you eat out as often as we do, chili fries at Thomas Street and squash casserole at Dish take a toll on the ole hourglass. So a hearty ‘THANK YOU’ goes out to Roger Raymer (local T-Street bartender and co-owner of Zada Jane’s) and Bob Whitman (owner of Thomas Street and co-owner of Zada Jane’s), for bringing us a venue that was long overdue. Zada Jane’s Corner Cafe, named after Roger’s grandmothers, is located—in case you haven’t noticed the bright green building next to the bright yellow building—at the corner of Central and Thomas Avenues. They will have indoor and outdoor seating, with shuffleboards out front. And here’s the best part: it’s no smoking inside. So you can pull up a bar stool or cozy into a bright orange booth and breathe clean air, because the color of the building is no coincidence. Zada Jane’s is answering the call for an environmentally-responsible approach to healthy, affordable beverages and cuisine. But they don’t stop at the food. Noticing a need for more to-go options in our area, the owners and chefs have planned a to-go menu and 100% biodegradable packaging for those to-go items. They’ll also be cleaning their 2 grills (one for meat and one for veggies) with eco-friendly cleansers. What a team.
As for the menu, the main event is breakfast, which will be served in some capacity all day. And they’ll have a light lunch menu with soups, salads, sandwiches, and such. No dinner just yet, but the plan is to phase in a Wednesday-Saturday dinner after the first phase is up and running. The menu will consist of healthy, meat-friendly and vegetarian options, with as many organic foods as possible. But the owners and chefs aren’t interested in making everything organic and selling it for a mint. The goal is to buy as much locally-grown, free-range, gluten-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, and worry-free foods as possible, and provide them to us at an affordable price. So gear-up to get a sneak preview of some of their food at our neighborhood Art Crawl on October 6th. And when they open, which should be by mid- to late-October, you’ll be chomping at the bit to hang out in the bright orange booths, surrounded by green-stained concrete and chicken-yellow walls. Go Zada Jane’s!!
