While most American restaurants cater to Western cuisines, the growth in popularity of the Afro-Caribbean food and cuisine has a growing influence. The influx of this unique cuisine, from Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and other islands in the Caribbean have exported many new flavors to the taste buds of Americans. Decades of tourism to these islands have also helped introduce Americans to the cuisine of this region.

Not that you asked, by my favorite Caribbean inspired foods are jerk wings and chicken sandwiches. The unmistakable heat and flavoring of allspice and Scotch bonnet peppers is something I can’t get enough of. There are all sorts of unique variations of jerk seasoning that might include cloves, nutmeg, scallions, salt, ginger or garlic. Every eatery you visit in these island countries will have a “secret” jerk seasoning recipe.
