Jah mon, I'm a Jam-American past Imposta Rasta - cool runnings and all dat good stuff kinda guy. I'm only half Caribbean ya know? LOL!  But I know what I like in food.

I love southern soul food and and still also love me some Caribbean cuisine.  Me a half and half brutha with a mother from the south and a father from the Caribbean Isles.  So maybe that's why I truly love both forms of ethnic cuisine.

I love to support both southern soul food restaurants and also Caribbean restaurants in the area. To read my southern soul food review recently go here.
