The Best of Jamaican Food
"Sometimes you just have to get up off of that lounge chair and go explore." Great advice from the Travel Channel's Andrew Zimmern about experiencing wonderful Jamaican food! Some of my favorites are here - like chicken foot soup, curry goat, and tripe & beans. And some great places to try on your travels, like Aunt Merle's at Hellshire Beach for fresh fish, Cherry's One-Stop in Faith Pen, and exotic fruits from the stands in Bog Walk Gorge. Now I am HUNGRY! Enjoy... and go eat some Jamaican food! Yeah man. :yes: Part 1 Jamaican Food on "Bizarre Foods" featured on TRAVEL Part 2 Jamaican...

Read MoreHeaded to Sumfest? Dining tips for Montego Bay!
I am a committed street food gal! My favorite thing each time I arrive in Jamaica is to drive through Yallah's on my way to Portland from Kingston's airport, pull up alongside one of the many jerk pans there on the road, order my quarter pound chicken & festival without stepping out of the car, and then dine while driving.

That open-air aura effused by Scotchies in Montego Bay and in Ocho Rios remains intact as well -- tables, benches and chairs are made from hardwood. Roofs are thatched and the pagoda-like eating areas are held up by timber that seems recently felled. But there are changes,...
