BTW, another reason that I like Broward County are the Friday/Saturday jerk pork/chicken meals served up in the industrial parks. This is the most OUTSTANDING method for cooking pork or chicken using the Jamaican jerk method and then smoke cooking it. You won't find this in most of the rest of the country but in South Florida it has become a tradition for Jamaican folks to cook this up in the industrial parks and sell to the local workers and to the general public. I always see a local cook, Carlton, who serves me up my meals in exchange for FREE stuff I get with coupons. Once I felt real generous and traded two Neuragen diabetes pain gels for a meal. Since each retails for $29.99 I often joke with Carlton that he got paid 60 bucks for one meal.
And in just an hour, I will be seeing Carlton for my Friday jerk meal. Probably will trade him several bottles of body wash or perhaps a Gillette razor kit for a meal. For me it is like a barter game.
Once you eat either jerk chicken or jerk pork, you will never again be satisfied with the regular barbeque versions of either.
