“Jason Malloff is about as close San Miguel comes to a rock star chef in this town and he’s built a solid fan base for Cafe Rama. A weekly email taunts me with what music to my mouth is on his current playlist. It works. About every two weeks, I’m at Cafe Rama. Faithfully.”
I wrote those words back in 2009. I don’t think I’d ever used the term rock star chef before. I don’t think I ever have since. Jason Malloff was different. In what was not much more than a converted shed, with not much more than a couple of gas elements, with some seldom seen here ingredients and inexpensive meat cuts, he juggled a range of ethnic influences into magic on a plate. And then, suddenly, one day, he was gone.
No one seemed to be sure why, when or where. There was talk he’d gone back to Canada. To the rockies in the interior of British Columbia. Maybe living the life of a ski bum.
