Roast Breadfruit & Curry Chicken – A Breakfast Video
A Typical Morning in Montego Bay In case any of you wanted to know how glamorous mornings were when I was in Montego Bay for 2 months, here’s a video post showing a typical one. A typical morning went like so: Rise around 8:00am to thug music, come downstairs in my usual ugly morning mood,…

Chocolate Really Is Sweeter In Jamaica
Well this one is pretty self explanatory. Not much to say here that the pictures don’t already say! There was some kind of chocolate soiree going on in a Sandals resort in Ocho Rios last week and we were just passing through when we happened to stumble across chocolate people.

Chunks & Beans
Everyone loves a Jamaican food post so here’s a new one for you! Can you believe it took me 14 trips to Jamaica to even know what “chunks & beans” was? I found it at Fishermans Beach in Ochi and I think I overdosed on it in a two-week period of time. Unless a place…

Fried Chicken at Red October
It seems I either ate a lot of food on my last trip or I just took way more pictures of food than usual, but here’s another food post! Before I went on this past trip I kept joking about the fried chicken parade I wanted to do…basically eat as much fried chicken as possible…
