Boston, Jamaica
I&R Boston Jerk Center
Boston Bay in Portland Parish is the birthplace of Jamaican jerk, and I&R Boston Jerk Center sits at the heart of that tradition. This is roadside cooking at its most direct: pimento wood smoke, open pits, and the ritual of eating at the source. For travellers making the journey along Jamaica's northeastern coast, it marks the clearest point of reference for what jerk originally meant.
