The one-stop jerk spot is back this year, hitting taste buds with a burst of authentically rich Jamaican flavour.

This year, Jo Jo's Jerk Pitt and More will be celebrating the Gleaner-sponsored Restaurant Week (RW) in fine style, providing a signature dining experience. With the success of last year's RW, restaurateur Anna Chin opted to hop onboard again, participating in not one but two categories: Tasty and Nyam and Scram.

"Restaurant Week is always fantastic, this is our big hit, so we are just happy to return as an active member of the family and pass on our savoury offerings to the foodies locally," she explained.

Proud winners of this year's All-Jamaica Grill-Off Competition in June, Chin has decided to share the winning products with her esteemed customers. In a twist, Jo Jo's will offer delicious jerked chicken and pork burritos, as well as chicken fried rice, on its lunch menu.

The restaurant's chefs love grilling, and do that with only natural local ingredients to beef up the smoky flavour. And their special home-made sauces take their dishes from just good to absolutely great.

The choice of tender-jerked lamb and hot-off-the-grill lobster, freshly prepared with an international flair, will definitely have you salivating for more at dinner.

The entertainment hub will undoubtedly continue its regular programming of live entertainment and outside broadcasts, with semi-indoor and outdoor dining areas designed for you to sit back, relax, indulge and enjoy.
