Okay, okay, okay.
When I ask for recommendation for some fine Jamaican, I’m not talking about that.
Or that either.
Here is a bit of trivia about the Lord of Petworth: I was in an exchange program in high school and lived in Jamaica for a bit.
Knowing this, you’d probably think that I would be in culinary heaven when I moved from Ohio to DC seven years ago. You may be surprised to learn that the number of times I’ve eaten Jamaican since moving here.
That number would be zero.
What? You must be thinking. Why wouldn’t you? There is Jamaican everywhere in DC.
See, that is exactly the problem. It’s kind of all overwhelming–and I have no idea what is good and what isn’t. There is just so much to pick from that I never seem to be able to figure out a starting point.
So on this last day of my reign as Lord of Petworth, I implore you, dear Popvillians, to steer me in the right direction.
What Jamaican place in town (or nearby) makes you want to stomp your foot on the ground every time you taste it?
