JAM-ENG – American
A downtown Orlando corner where Orange Avenue meets East Washington, and where Jamaican cooking is served with an English pub streak, which is where the name comes from. Oxtail and jerk chicken lead the board, with escoveitched fish and Port Royale crab beside them, and sandwiches built on coconut bread instead of a plain roll. Breakfast runs through to dinner, and there are vegan and pescatarian plates folded in. What diners repeat is the seasoning: the jerk sweet and smoky, the curry with a real edge. A lunch-counter footprint doing serious island cooking in the business district.
