ORIGINAL JUNIE'S REST THE – Caribbean
A Jamaican kitchen on NW 2nd Avenue that runs on a rotation rather than a menu. Oxtail, curry goat, brown stew chicken and brown stew fish are there every day; the rest turns with the calendar - cowfoot on Tuesday, stew peas midweek, steak and red peas soup on Thursday, and a Soul Food Friday of barbecue chicken, macaroni and cheese and potato salad. Soups are the giveaway that this is cooking for people who grew up on it: chicken foot, goat head, split pea. Breakfast means ackee and saltfish or callaloo. Opens at nine, done by seven.
