Jerk Kitchen is a street food restaurant, specialized in jerk style jamaican food, based in Loutraki, Greece.
Jerk is a style of cooking native to Jamaica in which meat is dry-rubbed or wet marinated with a very hot spice mixture called Jamaican jerk spice. Jerk seasoning is traditionally applied to pork and chicken. Jerk cooking and seasoning has followed the Caribbean diaspora all over the world, and forms of jerk can be found at restaurants almost anywhere a significant population of Caribbean descent exists, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, or the United States.

His tail is in a shape of a palm tree, a well known Jamaican symbol! The round yellow circle, symbolizes the sun to enhance the summer & fun spirit of the restaurant.
