Freetown Road Project Caribbean Catering

Japanese Sports Bar Dark Bullet Nails Its Burger | Eater NY

"I was glad to find Freetown Road Project, which opened in 2020 near Journal Square and showcases the cuisines of Antigua and Barbuda under chef Claude Lewis, who grew up in Jersey City Heights to Antiguan parents and even won an episode of Chopped with a gefilte fish recipe. The menu includes familiar Caribbean fare—goat and oxtail curries, chicken roti, jerk wings—alongside dishes more specific to Antigua and Barbuda; the best way in is the “local sampler” ($18). A friend and I sampled fungee (cornmeal porridge), dumplings, pepperpot (salt beef stew), fried plantains, and troba (an eggplant stew), and the pepperpot was the standout: deeply colored, slightly spicy, and fully flavorful, evoking a cauldron-served version I once had in Negril when it was still a fishing village." - Robert Sietsema
