Are you a member of "Chicken Chokers Anonymous" ?

You have the work permit etc?

You like being beaten on by Thai's?

Better off just calling it "I'm a Jerk."

Why a Jerk???

More than likely his thai gf/wife would do it so no work permit or beatings

and jerk chicken or pork is delicious.

I've spent a lot of time in Jamaica and Thailand and I believe the Jamaican gai/moo is better.

It's preparation and range of flavor fits right in with Thai street cuisine.

I'll take a half chicken anytime I see your cart.

[Jingthing]

I would love it! Even better, a Jamaican restaurant with good stuff like goat curry. But yes the jerk is the star.

[samsiam]

Oh.....I thought jerk as in jerky....dried meat.....and the sauce being dried with it.

Silly me.....still...if you play with it too much you'll still go blind.

[kurnell]

Popeye tried to open in Bangkok over 10 years ago. Thais just don't like beans etc.

[WilliaminBKK]

I love Jerk Chicken with a little scotch bonnet chutney/sauce on the side I am in paradise.

Good luck with your venture.

Peace brother!

jamaican jerk chicken is always served with "rice and peas". If you haven't figured that one out, I doubt you can do an authentic jerk.

[Jingthing]

You might want to rethink that orthodoxy! (Anyway, peas and beans are both legumes.)

Why do I need to "rethink that orthodoxy"? You just sent me a link to "Rice and Peas"!!

Beans may occasionally be substituted for peas but never, have I ever heard of a Jamaican dish called "rice and beans". On just about every other Caribbean island you can get arroz y frijoles, but not in Jamaica.

[happysanook]

i like your idea... something other than burgers/mexican/pizza ...

... love the avatar man... one of the greatest films of all time.

Well you really do learn something new every day. Until seeing this thread I had never heard of jerk chicken. After noting some of the complimentary things said about it I used google to find/read the wikipedia entry and others. Certainly sounds tasty ... would like to try it sometime. Can you buy any of the jars of pre-mix powders or pastes here in LOS?

[TheWalkingMan]

Jerk chicken is real good. I had it only once in Jamaica from one of those guys selling it on the side of the street with an oil drum. Felt like I was walking through the hood. It was some tasty stuff.

Bruce,

I've never seen it anywhere in Asia, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, or that you can't make your own jerk marinade. In the US, my favorite is Walker's Woods. If you'd like, I can bring back a jar next time I'm there, but that won't be for several months.

btw, buying pre-made jerk mix is no different than buying pre-made Thai curry mix rather than making your own from scratch.

Love jerk chicken but not sure you would find traction in the market here.

I think it could work in Pattaya with the right marketing/image.

As good as the jerk chicken is jerk pork is the real star and proper oxtail gravy for the rice and beans with a side of slo.. now your are talking rock star....or should i say raggae star..

[CWMcMurray]

Popeye tried to open in Bangkok over 10 years ago. Thais just don't like beans etc.

Sure they do.... but they use them in their desserts. But shouldn't be any problem to offer alternative side dishes more in line with Thai tastes for any of your Thai customers.

Jerk Chicken is good stuff, so if you do open a stand in BKK, let me know...

[Jingthing]

It would be a new food for many people.

As far as Thais, of course spicy food is popular, but I feel for a majority of Thais, they mean Thai style spices, and foreign spices are more of a Thai elite/trendy thing.

Americans would usually know from jerk chicken, especially urban ones.

I would assume Jamaican food is known in the UK due to immigration, isn't it?

Hey, how about some spicy rotis and homemade ginger beer too?

[chainarong]

Goodluck, hope you do alright , ya never know.

[BookMan]

Jerk chicken, love it! Spicy and u just want to eat more.

I'll invest for sure. Invest in a plate or two with rice when I pass by.
