Jennifer Zavala gets on the bus

Former El Camino Real chef and Top Chef contestant Jennifer Zavala has been laying low here in Philly as of late, but she's got a new project working that she hopes to launch in 2012 — Cherry Bomb, an old mini school bus-turned-ice cream truck she's converting into her own mobile operation. "I guess it's all come around for me, since I started my career cooking on a tour bus," says Zavala, who fed Ozzfest acts prior to landing in Philly. What type of food? "Stoner food — it has no boundaries!" Zavala jokes. Mainly, she uses the moniker "because 'continental' sounds so snooty." She's quick to point out that there will be no cheesesteaks. Look for Cherry Bomb to launch next spring.
