Seattle, WA – Paseo (“Best Roast Pork Sandwich”)

By Mijune

I could smell roasted pork and tangy vinegar as soon as I got near. Paseo is a long time favourite in Seattle known for “the best sandwich in America”, or even “the best sandwich in the world”, which bothers me because I’m not a fan of “best of” lists. Anyway, last time I was here I got really lost and ended up at Local 360. This time, I had to find it.

“Best”Jerk Chicken – Jamaican Thyme by Mark Clarke (Vancouver, BC)

By Mijune

Thank goodness I never listened to my mother when she told me never to take food from strangers. Yes, I did it again. Mark Clarke is the cook and owner of Jamaican Thyme, his own catering company specializing in Jamaican food – but specifically Jerk chicken.

Calabash Bistro

By Mijune

The menu had traditional and modern interpretations of Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine. It was still a bit catered for West Coast tastes and the flavours weren’t necessarily “authentic”, but the food tasted good enough for me to overlook authenticity. I was impressed!

Jamaica – Juici Patties VS Tastee Patties (Best Jamaican Patties)

By Mijune

There’s a constant debate between Juici Patties and Tastee Patties, which are the two biggest Jamaican patty chains in Jamaica. Both claim to carry the best patties, but I probably came across more locals that liked Tastee Patties.
