Additionally, Chef and Surf 2 Soul Food Cart owner Jordan Wilson brings his special dishes to Jazz on the River. A passion for the ocean’s bounty and the soulful flavors of home-cooked meals inspired Jordan to bring his culinary skills to Astoria and the North Coast where Surf 2 Soul quickly became a local favorite. You will have the opportunity to taste Jordan’s fresh, sustainably sourced cooking when he serves Sunday’s afternoon supper. The menu includes grilled beef cuts from LIttle Island Creamery Beef, as well as a chicken option, a variety of side dishes and a scrumptious peach cobbler with Little Island Creamery ice cream.
