    JERK CHICKEN: "Growing up in Jamaica, my father raised our own poultry,
    and we were fortunate enough to have pimento trees and Scotch bonnet
    bushes growing right on our property. My father taught me how to slow
    roast over log wood charcoal and branches from the pimento tree, and
    make a classic marinade from the Scotch bonnets, pimento berries, and
    thyme. My father would reserve the smallest chicken when he cooked for
    me as a boy, making sure I had my own. It was undoubtedly one of my
    fondest food memories." - Kahari Woolcock, chef de cuisine at Miss
    Lily's in NYC
