FoodaTude..Food with Attitude Williamsburg's Finest Food Truck hits the streets. The Chef and his crew have started a new venture,

6/18/24 They say never get high with your own supply, well the HOUSE CURED AND SMOKED HONEY-MAPLE BACON WAS CALLING MY NAME THIS MORNING.....SO GOOD...THIS COMING WEEKEND AT WILLIAMSBURG LIVE....I made myself a BLT for breakfast, Wonder Bread, Butter Lettuce, Local Tomato, Hellmann's Mayonnaise, Pepper, and of course my own House made Bacon....so good...wish you could taste it through the screen...

17/06/2024

6/16/24 The Bacon came out perfect! The low and slow smoking temperature allowed for a nice pick-up of smoky flavor and coloring. We now must let it stay wrapped and in refrigerator for several days to mellow somewhat, that's the hard part.

What makes our House Cured and Smoked Bacon so special is the type of pork we use, Duroc exclusively, and our curing rub. We also do not inject our pork bellies with water when done, no need to, we aren't worried about making weight of a package like supermarket brands do...you get pure Bacon, meaty and real smoke flavor, not some artificial smoke flavoring like the store brands mostly use....you can taste the difference next weekend. Try a Crab-Cake BLT, or a Double Smash Bacon Burger, or even a Soft Shell Crab Sandwich with Bacon.....or one of each!

16/06/2024

6/16/24 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the Dads out there, it's a great feeling to be a father, Izzy is the best daughter a father could ask for.

I was up at 5am, started the fire, applied a little rub to a few of the slabs of BACON, and we are smoking, low and slow. The pellicle developed very nicely over the last 24 hours, and these beautiful DUROC PORK BELLIES will take on the Cherry and Peach Wood very nicely. The Apple Wood didn't arrive, so I'm replacing it with Peach Wood....

More cleaning and organization to get done today, and hopefully we'll have a nice dinner tonight. Enjoy the day, make it a great one!

Chef Jim

6/15/24 The truck is finally being put back together after a very deep cleaning, and a purging of excess utensils and equipment being put into storage. This has been no small task, and my wife and daughter have been a huge help, and Bryce's assistance was much appreciated. I thank all of you for the encouragement and kind words. I plan to be out all 3 days next week for the Williamsburg Live Concerts, and a gentleman that worked for me when he was a teenager, at Victor's Deli and Pizza, is going to do some cooking with me on Friday at the Beach Boy's Concert. He may fill in from time to time when he can, our thanks to Robert Bernfeld.

The House Cured Bacon is drying to develop a pellicle and after 24 hours will be placed in the smoker over Cherry and Apple Wood, this is a Honey-Maple Bacon with a little Chipotle in the rub, and we might add a little more Chipotle to the fat-cap before the smoking commences. It's nice to be talking about food once again. I will keep you posted about the progress. It's time for me to shine, and I'm ready.

Enjoy the BACON P**N PHOTOS....IT TASTES EVEN BETTER THAN IT LOOKS!

Thank you,

Chef Jim

6/14/24 Blessings abound! We just received an invitation to park off of Olde Towne Road, picnic tables, umbrellas, a great location. We will look at it this coming week...refrigerator still on fritz, never buy a Turbo-Aire Refrigerator, absolutely awful, an expensive unit too, if temperature goes above 80 it doesn't like to work...new freezer being delivered tomorrow for the truck. Truck is nearly done, Isabella and I have been scrubbing, sanitizing and sterilizing every inch of it.....finding more things destroyed, but I'll do my best to get through it...thanks again for all the support....We will also be going to Merrimac Trail soon, starting there in two weeks, in front of the NAPA Auto Parts Store...

14/06/2024

6/14/24 The bad news just keeps coming, we were just informed that due to a property issue we can no longer park at the Flower and Ice Cream Field in Toano. Maybe someday things will be resolved and we can do it again, but as of now we are looking for places to park. I hope to have the truck back up and running next week, and we will be doing the 3 days of Williamsburg Live Concerts....the menu will be much smaller, Smash Burgers, Soft Shell Crabs and Crab-Cakes...fries of course and the possibility of BLT's with House Cured and Smoked Bacon....say a prayer for us if you will, we need things to turnaround for us....

Thanks,

Chef Jim

6/13/24 It's amazing that June is nearly half over. This month thus far has been a lot highs and lows for me. My Daughter, Isabella Grace, graduated from High School with a 4.88 GPA, High Honors and many Awards and accolades. She will be leaving in mere weeks to go off to Virginia Teach for College. She was going to get a Summer job but has seen what's happened with my business and has stepped up to help out while here, she takes pride in the family business, such a good girl, and I could not be more proud.

I also need to give a shout out to young Bryce, another recent graduate with many accolades and awards himself, a fine young man that came out to help me yesterday and is coming back this morning to pitch in again. He graduated with High Honors too, and will attend William and Mary this Fall. He will help out at the concerts next weekend and maybe some other events this summer.

I'm back at it again today, stripping the truck, deep cleaning, and looking for any other potential issues from recent events. It's time to move forward. I will not go down without a fight and fully expect to at least finish up the summer in good fashion and see what the Fall brings. I'm so very touched by all of you and your offers of help and plans to attend when I re-open, thank you. I hope to have the Dizzy Izzy Pizza Oven soon at an event, and I'd like to do it for Isabella and send her off with the earnings from the event, many asked how to help, and that would be the way, buy a pizza and the proceeds go to Dizzy Izzy.....

Much Love and Thanks,

Chef Jim

This recent episode is adding up fast, amazing how much damage one person can do. I appreciate all your well wishes. I certainly hope when we go back out you can come and have some of my cooking and help us to feather our nest a little, we certainly need it after this.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, much love to all of you.....Chef Jim

The truck will be off the road until next week. We have a major cleaning and re-grouping to do. It's always disappointing when someone sabotages your business, and that's exactly what has happened to mine. My daughter and her friend are helping me today, after a miserable day yesterday. I've learned a valuable lesson, most people do not deserve second chances, and those with chemical dependencies should never be taken for granted to be fully recovered, I've learned this one the hard way, more than once too. I've tried to help so many people over the years, and only one ever made it. It breaks my heart seeing my hard earned money being destroyed, stolen, and food stolen or abused.....a hard lesson to learn.....anyone looking to hire an old chef for cooking and shopping duties at their home? I can be had.

6/7/24 It's amazing how quickly this year is going by. The tomato season is nearly upon us, there are some coming in now, but we want the full-sunshine variety, no greenhouse, meaty, full of flavor...we use them for our Award Winning Gazpacho, and for our BLT SANDWICHES USING OUR OWN HOUSE SMOKED AND BRINED BACON!

We haven't made a batch of our bacon in over a year now, the cost of Pork Bellies has been crazy, but we have the ingredients to cure and smoke, so why not buy PREMIUM DUROC PORK PORK BELLIES AND DO A LARGE BATCH OF BACON? I just applied our HOUSE CURING RUB, AND ADDED FOR FLAVOR HONEY, MAPLE SUGAR, SMOKED CHIPOTLE PEPPER, SEA SALT AND PRAGUE #1 SALT....I've rubbed 60 pounds of Pork Belly for this batch of bacon...We'll let this cure for 7-12 days, then smoke over Cherry and Peach Wood for full flavor...we're planning for tomato season, what better way to have FRESH SUMMER TOMATOES than on a BLT ON WONDER BREAD, DUKE'S MAYONNAISE, SALT AND PEPPER AND LOTS OF BACON FROM FoodaTude....

We'll even do our BACON-DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER, AND HAWAIIAN PIZZAS AND SCALLOPS WRAPPED IN BACON USING OUR HOUSE BACON....SO GOOD....WAITING IS THE HARDEST PART....

5/28/24 This week we will not be on the road very often, if at all. It's a BIG WEEK at the Kennedy Household, our baby girl, Isabella, graduates from Walsingham Academy this weekend. She has an Awards Ceremony/Mass Friday Night, Graduation on Saturday, and a Party after Graduation with family and friends, one I'll be catering myself, so much work to be done. It's hard to believe the last 15 years have gone by so quickly, from Pre-K 3 to Senior in High School, Isabella has done it. She has excelled in her academics and in her Faith in God. We are extremely proud of all her accomplishments and achievements in school, in community through volunteer efforts, sports, and in what a wonderful person she has become. I thank you for indulging me, she is my pride and joy...Dizzy Izzy Pizza will return soon, she'll need money for college, so we'll be making Pizza and other items with her soon. She was accepted to many colleges, but it looks like she will be a Hokie at Virginia Tech....thank you all for the support of us, see you soon.

Thank you,

Chef Jim
