"Dr. Bird’s is a restaurant that opened 39 years ago in Buffalo, N.Y. so popular that rappers wrote a song about it. Hakim Lee and his brother are opening Dr. Bird’s Jamaican Patty Shack in Chicago to introduce Chicagoans to Jamaican patties. The restaurant's logo features the Doctor Bird, a national symbol in Jamaica. This is a labor of love for Lee's family who run a Buffalo, NY restaurant. Lee says their Jamaican food brings various Caribbean communities together. The original Dr. Bird’s Caribbean Rasta-Rant was opened by Lee’s parents in 1981 in Buffalo. They’re known for their baked patties and have gained community credibility thanks to a song by rap collective Griselda." - Ashok Selvam
