"And that is just what Irie Jerk does at 1182 Nostrand Avenue, near Midwood Street, in Flatbush. It’s an inspiring site to come within view of the colorful storefront, emblazoned “Real Spanish Town Flavor,” referring to a municipality west of Kingston. The jerk chicken at Irie — which evolved from a fresh-juice establishment last year that still squeezes carrots, beets, and cashews — is smoky, moist, and char-crusted, tasting slightly of Worcestershire and allspice, and delivering a slight burn on the lips. It’s currently the best jerk chicken in town. And at $15 for a large serving with a choice of nine sauces (pick the “jerk hot sauce”) — it’s a steal. Weekends only, the linear doughnut called festivale is available, said to cut the spiciness of the chicken."
