"Wyclef Jean wasn’t lying when he said Jeano’s in Brockton has some of the best Haitian food around Boston. Order the Haitian poul fri, which doesn’t rely on a crunchy coating. Instead, the chicken gets marinated in epis, and the skin is removed before frying, allowing the tender meat to take center stage. The restaurant also has an expansive seafood menu where you can dig into crispy shrimp, stewed octopus, broiled scrod, and whole-baked snapper. On occasion, they’ll host events like Gouyad N’ Chill, so you can catch a vibe with live music and do some dancing, too." - Ashia Aubourg
