Jamaica Launches Culinary Jerk Trail

Last week while attending JAPEX, we had the opportunity to witness the ribbon cutting for the new Jerk Trail, launched at Montego Bay's Scotchies.

Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett, who cut the ribbon on the trail, said, “Jerk cuisine has made its way onto menus worldwide, but we invite travelers to come Jamaica and sample this dish the way it was meant to be experienced – in our laid back, tropical environment. The Jerk Trail creates a culinary adventure featuring the distinct flavors of Jamaica, along with its breathtaking natural beauty and truly unique culture, as visitors travel across the island from Negril, through Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, to Kingston, ending in the home of Jerk – Port Antonio.”

Stops on the Trail: The Trail currently features 10 locations:

• Supreme Jerk Centre, Green Island
• Border Jerk Centre, Ramble
• Ultimate Jerk Center, Discovery Bay
• Scotchie’s, Greenwich Park
• Ocho Rios Jerk Center
• Lyming at Walkerswood
• G&B Jerk Centre, Victoria Road
• Pon Di Corner Jerk Center, Black Hill District
• Blueberry Hill Jerk Center
