In 2009, Chef Jeremiah converted a 1962 Airstream trailer into a mobile kitchen and launched gastroPod Miami, a street food truck in South Florida.[3] Within a year, gastroPod was named Best Food Truck by the Miami New Times. Specialties over the years have included the Old Dirty Dog (a smoked short-rib hot dog on a potato bun and topped with sweet/spicy slaw), the Bánh Mì Taco (oxtail, trotters, country pâté, and pickled radishes), the Sloppy José with brisket and Curry in a Hurry (vegan curry with rice).[4] Later, gastroPod expanded to add the semi-annual podBrunch series in roving locations. One such event at the Wolfsonian Museum in Miami Beach Florida featured a prix fixe menu of French toast ice cream, egg and potato taco, charred yam cavatelli and pumpkin spice bundt cakes, among other items.[5]

In 2012, Chef Jeremiah expanded his business beyond gastroPod with The Pickle Peoples. In an interview, Chef Jeremiah said his Kickstarter-funded pickling project "is about using technology and cutting-edge techniques to streamline a time-honored tradition."[6] Some of his pickled creations have been used in specialty cocktails at the pop-up bar The Broken Shaker.[7]

In late 2013, Chef Jeremiah opened Subatomic Sandwiches at the Wolfsonian-FIU museum in Miami Beach, Florida.[8]
