JUICI PATTIES – Restaurant

The Jamaican patty done properly: flaky, turmeric-gold pastry and a filling that runs hot with pepper, sold across a fast counter on Sunset Strip in Sunrise. Four fill the case, mild beef, spicy beef, spicy curry chicken and a vegan one, and the smart order pairs a patty with coco bread, the pillowy roll that turns a snack into lunch. Combos scale quickly: doubles with cheese, triples, the Quick 6, a dozen for the office. Plantains, fries and Tropical Rhythms on the side. People who grew up eating these say South Florida finally got the real thing.
