As everyone loves pates in the USVI, they tend to sell out fast. That's why, when you're in St. Thomas, you MUST know Kelvin, the mobile pate man.

NOWHERE in St. Thomas did we experience local culinary perfection quite like we did at Miss Jackie's food truck on Airport Road.

I was on a hunt to discover the very best Jamaican patty. According to my waiter at The Courtleigh Hotel in New Kingston, my search would not be complete without a visit to Devon House and my first foray into Devon House Bakery.

I was surprisingly underwhelmed by the cuisine I encountered along much of my adventuring in and around the Guadeloupe Islands. Le Bokit, though, was a notable exception.

When it comes to the Jamaican Patty, there can be only one best of the best: Tastee or Juici. On my last visit to Kingston, I put them both to the test...

Placencia, Belize has it all.

More than Ting, festivals, or even jerk chicken, the flaky and iconically yellow Jamaican patty embodies the true taste of Jamaica to me.

Trinidad is the Street Food Capital of the Caribbean in my biased opinion. A tasty hybrid of roti and doubles that I found there recently further confirms this.

Cavelle's Cook Shop may be small and simple, but it's the spot for authentic eats in Antigua. Stop for a cold beer and a healthy serving of local food.
