“Ras Rody realized he had a knack for cooking vegan food when even meat-eaters began clamoring for the dishes he would make, so he decided to try making a living from it.”

(10/22/2020) The Santa Fean:


”A newcomer on the food truck block, Ras Rody’s Jamaican Vegan Kitchen (1312 Agua Fria Street), is the to-go place for vegan Jamaican dishes. Rody changes his offerings daily, depending on what’s inspiring him. The combo plate — vegetables, beans, rice and more — is always on the menu, but its specific ingredients vary from day to day.”

(8/28/2020) Santa Fe New Mexican:

“Opening a food truck in Santa Fe was sort of a homecoming for Rody because it’s where Whole Foods sent him for training when he lived in Albuquerque. But Rody didn’t learn to cook in Santa Fe. It’s just where he learned to cook for Whole Foods. His real start began when he was a teenager back in Jamaica. After a trying but ultimately fortuitous circumstance, he was introduced to the all-natural Rastafarian ital (prounounced EYE-tal) diet.”

“Ras Rody’s Jamaican Vegan: You may have spied the Jamaican flag flying above Agua Fria just south of Camino Alire. Follow it into the surprisingly spacious dirt lot that’s host to Ras Rody’s Jamaican Vegan, a glossy black-painted truck that dishes up plant-based goodness adjacent to the chef’s new residence.”
