Recipe of the Week
Grilled Chicken Quesadillas
Ingredients:
• 1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
• 3 1/2 cups shredded, cooked roast chicken, skin
removed
• 6 oz. Grated Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapeno chilies, chopped
• Salt
• 4 (10 in.) tortillas
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. and line a large baking
sheet with foil or parchment. Place beans in a large
bowl and use a potato masher or fork to mash them
slightly. Add chicken, cheese and jalapenos and stir to
combine. Season with salt.
Place one tortilla on a work surface and spread a quar-
ter of the mixture over half of the tortilla. Fold other half
over to form a half-moon, pressing firmly. Repeat with
remaining chicken mixture and tortillas.
Warm a ridged grill pan or a 12-inch skillet over me-
dium heat. Cook 1 quesadilla at a time, turning care-
fully once, until cheese is melted and tortilla is golden,
2—4 minutes per side. Transfer grilled quesadilla to
prepared baking sheet and place in oven to keep
warm. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. When all
quesadillas are grilled, cut each into 4 wedges and
serve immediately.

Cooking with Gus and
Angie
An historic part of Eastend, Jack’s Cafe
opened in 1916 in the hotel and has been
in the current, familiar site at 326 Red
Coat Dr. since 1920. Today, Gus and An-
gie Kanakis spend many hours each week
keeping the food coming fresh and hot
from the kitchen to the tables.
As a chef Gus is faithful to his own tech-
niques and standards. He cuts all his meat
and fish himself, as well as making all the
sauces and dressings from scratch. Fish
comes in fresh frozen only when the best
quality is available. Angie’s family has
long been involved in managing restau-
rants and she keeps the orders moving
smoothly.
Besides the café and restaurant traffic, Gus
prepares on average of 25 pizzas each day.
Summer days and tourist traffic make for a
hectic schedule in the kitchen with Gus
and Angie working constantly to meet
demand. The long hours take their toll as
does the challenge of keeping staff for the
fall and winter season. However, their
concern is to satisfy their customers.
A big part of Greek culture involves time
spent around dining . Gus and Angie in-
clude this enjoyment of friends as a part of
the congenial atmosphere that Jack’s of-
fers. This brings people together in a
small community and appeals to many that
travel through. Family gatherings experi-
ence good food and comfortable dining at
Jack’s. JK
The Eastend Edge is a proud supporter of our
community and is distributed across North
America.

Did you know….
Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard University proposed that
there are several types of intelligence: naturalist, logical,
mathematical, musical, interpersonal, spatial or linguistic
(many theories include eight or even nine types). The type
of intelligence differs in everyone and is largely a natural
phenomenon. Naturalists can easily find the difference
between natural things like clouds, animals, plants, etc.
Whereas mathematically intelligent people are quick at
calculations, propositions and hypotheses. Musically
intelligent persons are able to discern rhythm, tone or pitch
and can identify sounds which a normal human being
might easily miss. Those with spatial intelligence have a
unique quality of thinking in pictures. On the other hand
linguistically intelligent ones use words for imaginative
activities.

Traveling Across the Edge
Two young German carpenters are travel-
ing across Canada and are currently in Eas-
tend. Nils Unruh and Markus Lorenzen are
members of the 800 year old rechtschaffene
fremde Zimmerer/und Schieferdecker-
gesellen zu Deutschland, the largest and
most highly respected carpenters’ guild in
Germany. You’ll see them around town
dressed in their traditional guild clothing of
corduroy jackets, vests and flared trousers.
They are both Journeymen and are here as
part of their choice of work service which
requires that at the end of their training they
travel professionally for at least 3 years +
one day in order to meet other carpenters
and learn from them.
Nils is from Kisdorf, Germany, where his
family farm is located. Markus is from
Struckum, Germany, where his family are
heavy duty equipment mechanics and elec-
tricians. Both Nils and Markus have been
apprenticed to the guild since they were 17
and 16 respectively.
They both enjoy the beauty of our area and
the welcome feeling in Eastend. Charlie’s is
their favourite coffee spot. Since their spe-
cialty is wood structures, they are very inter-
ested in the old barns and farm buildings and
their restoration.
