Ocho Rios Jerk Centre

Ocho Rios Jerk Centre
By now you would have realized that I’m a lover of driving to the country side and food. Put them together and I’m good to go, no encouragement needed. You might also have noticed that good Jamaican jerk is one of my favorites. Whether chicken, pork or fish, as long as it taste good I don’t mind, so naturally I always check out the jerk joints on route where ever I go.
My last outing took me through Ocho Rios, so Ocho Rios Jerk Centre was my obvious stop. I must say that since my last visit they have done some improvement on the facility, bright lively colours and thatch ceiling made from palm leaves. All in all, the ambiance is relaxing, encouraging to just sit back and unwind. Of course the bar right there also helps to lift your spirits.
We had Manish water, jerk chicken, pork and fish, some BBQ ribs, festival, bammy and plantains. I must say my favourite was the jerk pork. We had to wait a bit for the fish but it was worth it. The ribs weren’t jerk but the children enjoyed it. A bit of variety, something for everyone, this is always good for a restaurant.
Something I’ve noticed lately, it that there seems to be a football or cricket field attached to these jerk stops, or is it just coincident. Any way, there is one beside the Ocho Rios Jerk centre and it does encourage patrons to linger especially if there is activity going on.
As usual I took pictures to share with you, enjoy.
Nuff Love.

Bruk Pocket Jamaican
"Recently, this Jamaican won the 10 million special lottery for a dollar. As soon as the office of the Lottery Corporation was open on the following day, he was there to collect his winnings.
Graciously, he presented his winning ticket to the clerk and in his best English uttered his request "Me cum fi collect the 10 millian dallars, si me ticket ya".
After reviewing and checking the ticket with his manager, the clerk returned and requested on how he would like his payments. The Jamaican replied "Mi wan all a de moni now". "Unfortunately, Sir" the nervous clerk responded, "The procedures are that we can only give you one million now and the balance equally over the next 20 years".
Furious and agitated, the Jamaican asked for the manager, who re-iterated "Sir, my assistant is correct, it is the regulation of the corporation that we initially pay you one million dollars now with the balance paid to you equally over the next 20 years".
Outraged, the Jamaican slammed his hand on the desk and shouted in anger, "Oonu tek me fi idiat, me wan all a de moni now or oonu gi me bak me rass dallar!!"
