Jamaican Jerk Center is open for business at 2220 Hikes Lane. Jamaica natives Ian and Paulene Coram began by serving tastes of home from a food truck before establishing this storefront in multicultural Buechel. Jerk chicken, oxtails and curries (chicken and goat) are among their specialties of the house.

The Corams grew up in Hanover, a parish located on the northwestern tip of Jamaica, and Ian said the island still informs their food.
These are actually recipes that we grew up with, but with sort of a modern twist,” he explained. “We spent years trying to get the right flavor that incorporate our custom along with a modern twist. Growing up in a custom is different than adopting a custom, growing up in a custom you learn how to actually put it together.”
