"We fell in love with this Afro-Caribbean spot after our first bite of smoky jerk chicken. But we became even more enamored after hearing its origin story. The owner, Niquenya Collins, is a business development coach who decided to take her own advice and turn her love of cooking into her own restaurant. Clearly, it was a great decision, because everything we’ve ordered from this takeout and delivery-only spot in Garfield Park has been delicious. The citrusy Sengalese poulet yassa is bright and full of lemongrass, and the chili con carne makes us mad at all the versions we’ve ever tried to make for the Super Bowl. And while eating Cocoa Chili on our couch while watching football is a near-perfect experience, we’ll be first in line if she decides to open a brick and mortar." - adrian kane
