On Jollyville Road just a few blocks west of Duval, you’ll find a tiny trailer tucked in the corner of the Texaco station’s parking lot. It’s Papa’s Pot — local chef and Hurricane Katrina evacuee Josh Crapo’s food stand. Serving simple items like veggie wraps, breakfast tacos, and sandwiches, Papa’s Pot uses a lot of fresh, organic ingredients and is a convenient place to stop on the way to work or on your lunch break if you’re in the mood for something healthy and delicious.
That Other Paper How long has Papa’s Pot been open?
Josh Crapo I’ve been here for two months. Before I started this, I was working at The Steeping Room at the Domain. And I also worked at Mangia. I’ve worked in kitchens for 20 years or so.
TOP The paint job is great — who did it?
JC It was a friend of mine that worked with me at The Steeping Room. I just wanted something to pop out a little.
TOP How’d you set up the arrangement here with the Texaco Station?
JC I knew Ali [at the Texaco station], and I live not too far from here too, so instead of going downtown or somewhere like that, I figured I’d try to develop up here and see how it works. I think people up here are into healthier food, so I thought I’d try it up here.
TOP What’s your favorite thing on the menu?
JC Right now, it’s my grilled caprese. It’s, I don’t know… It’s just…
TOP Really good?
JC Yeah! It’s a grilled cheese sandwich, but it’s different because it has fresh tomato and fresh basil. So it’s definitely got a different flavor to it.
