About Me
Gonul's J Street Cafe
Sacramento, California
Hello, I’m Gonul Blum, and I must tell you… that when we opened our restaurant in 2003, it was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. I was raised in Turkey, a country with a rich culinary tradition based on farm-fresh ingredients and artful, exotic spicing. (My family is in the spice business, so my childhood memories are awash in the taste and fragrance of fresh saffron and the famous Maras pepper.) When I moved to the States I became a cardiac surgery nurse, and did that for 12 years - until a “fortunate” injury curtailed my career. One door rudely closed, but another door swung open. It opened to my dream. First - to Napa’s Culinary Institute of America. Next - to a home-style catering business. And finally, encouraged by the community’s warm response – to Gonul’s J Street CafĂ©. A genuine touch of the Mediterranean I am most proud to offer, here, in East Sacramento
