Delivering a Taste of the Carribean
I still remember when the Jerk Joint first opened. It’s always so exciting when a new restaurant opens up in the Fox Valley. Jerk Joint was no different. First time there I ordered the sweet ting chicken. I left a review on yelp saying: “I wouldn’t be mad if this was my last meal.” To this day nothing has changed. I can honestly say I’ve never tried anything I didn’t like here. If I ever have a bad day, chances are I’m ordering something from here.
This time I did delivery. I haven’t eaten there in person since about early March 2020. Based on their social media accounts, they do seem to be open for in person dining. My go-to dish almost every time I go is the sweet ting chicken. This time I decided on ordering the 2 meat platter, (which includes peas cabbage, and rice) that way I am able to try a new meat, but also not neglecting my favorite dish. But I didn’t try anything new, I went with another fave… the drunken pig. Also every time I go, I always make sure to grab a slice of rum cake. It always makes me feel like I am right in the Caribbean with every bite I take. It is definitely a must try!
Bring Jamaica to Wisconsin
Thinking back to when I have dined there in person, they are always blasting reggae music, so it really makes me feel like I am in the tropics. Which is always a nice feeling, especially in Wisconsin! Even though we are coming up on spring, a bit of warmth via food is never a bad thing. Next time I really want to try the mango lime bowl. Come to the Jerk Joint if you want to treat your taste buds to the flavors of Jamaica!
