Chef Jamilah Nixon-Mathis is a Sonoma County native, with no formal training, she refers to herself as “the accidental chef”. Her unique style of cooking is rooted in her Mexican & Creole ancestry, extensive travels in SE Asia & Thailand, and her years of experience working in California restaurants. After 8 years of running her own highly acclaimed food truck & walk-up window, Jams Joy Bungalow, she joined friends Brandon Gunther & Shona Campbell to re-open iconic Bodega Bay restaurant Lucas Wharf in 2024.
With Rocker Oysterfeller’s at Lucas Wharf the trio focuses on updated west-coast classics, southern comfort dishes & gulf coast style seafood using local & wild seafood and seasonal California produce.
