Johannesburg: The Jerk Company

The focus at the Jerk Company is on the traditional, so expect authentic Jamaican and other Caribbean flavours. Jerk is a traditional way of cooking in Jamaica where meat is either dry-rubbed or wet marinated with a hot-spice mixture. A section of the menu is dedicated to this, with jerk chicken, riblets and wings. Get a taste of island life without even leaving Joburg!
