a taste of jamaica

ever since i came to stockton, i have always wanted to try the breadfruit tree. i kept hearing about the amazing "jamaican jerk chicken" and "sweet chili fish". yes, it is amazing and it`s a must if you haven`t been. with 19 people, we chose to do family style that cost $17.95/per person.
