The Perfect Jerk

Founder William Dodds established The Perfect Jerk after traveling to Jamaica’s Blue Mountains to learn traditional jerk techniques firsthand. Operating as a quick-serve counter spot on West North Avenue, the kitchen rounds out its meats with fusion items like jerk egg rolls alongside hearty staples including Rasta pasta, cabbage, and red beans and rice. Diners arriving unsure of what to order are often greeted with counter samples of the jerk tips to help guide their choice.
