Boston Jerk Grill & Club

Boston Jerk Center is an organic, literally home grown, natural mall focused around jerk cooking.

It is focused around 7 jerk pits but jerk and associated foods, are not the only items for sale there.

Fresh fruit juices or even just fruit and jewellery are part of the mix and there's even a resident DJ with his musical shack.

As a truly organic rural community created experience it is also very much a network of related families.

This includes some of the usual family dynamics of cooperation and competition.

Many of todays jerkmen, have ancestors who were the original jerkmen that gave birth to preparation of jerk for commercial sale.

The current primary location of the Boston Jerk Centre is located less than 1/2 mile from the first commercial jerk pit on the planet and is home to the third and fourth jerk pits that ever existed in the world.

Jerk originally started as being about pork and breadfruit and has grown to include not only chicken, but fish, lobster and conch soup.

On some parts of the island, people are now even jerking goat, which is more traditionally made into a curry.
