Popular South Florida Jamaican restaurant, Kingston Delight will make its 19th appearance

The highly popular Florida Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival will mark its 20th staging with a bumper crowd expected to descend on the Miramar Regional Park venue on November 13.

This year’s staging is expected to be bigger than ever, given the growing popularity of the family event, which showcases the best of Jamaica’s food, particularly its jerk menus. Popular South Florida-based, Jamaican restaurant, Kingston Delight, will make its 19th appearance as a food vendor at this year’s event.

The longstanding restaurant has been in business for 25 years, and is one of the oldest Caribbean restaurants in North Miami Beach. Kingston Delight specialises in all things Jamaican cuisine.

 “We give you 100 per cent Jamaican island style,” declares Donovan Thompson, owner of Kingston Delight.

In reinforcing the statement, Thompson said: “A nuh hospital we ah cook fah; we ah cook fah people who want to lick dem fingah.”

He added that the Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival is one of the highlights on the restaurant’s annual calendar. While the festival has garnered a reputation for brave and experimental offerings, such as jerk ice cream, Kingston Delight will once again offer traditional jerk dishes made with high quality, authentic ingredients.

According to Thompson, the festival is an incredible and must-attend event for anyone curious about Jamaican food.

“If you want a beautiful day hanging out with your family, you have to come to the jerk festival,” he urged.

He backed up his statement with a bit of Jamaican humour, saying: “All if you and yuh cousin vex and yuh nah talk, this day ah go mek unnu mek up back.”
