Dishes mentioned
Jerk Chicken
This jerk chicken is marinated in a special spice blend, smoked in a drum in the back, and loaded with jerk sauce. It's cooked over coals, sweet, smoky, exactly what I want from jerk. Honestly, that's right up there with the best I've had.
Curry Goat
The curry goat is soft, tender goat in a rich, beautiful curry sauce. It's fire. Caribbean food is my kryptonite, and when it's done well it makes me so happy. This is done incredibly well.
