UME Press caught up with Marsha J, international gospel recording artiste who resides in Ocho Rios, the tourist mecca of Jamaica located on the North Coast. She is an avid diner, especially during Restaurant Week. Here's what she told our Royal Events Paper:
"There is nothing like living that blessed life. Second to that there is nothing like food, fun and fellowship! After all, we are Jamaicans; and the Caribbean table is known for its flavor, vibrant colors and nostalgic smells. It tends to give you that good old feeling of home and family."
Jamaicans are known for hearty eating, the starlet highlighted smiling form ear to ear. Since we were children, especially on a Sunday, there was a difference cuisine for special days, she continued.
"For every special occasion a meal is served from date night, to birthdays to business meetings. Even for a personal movie hang out at home by yourself. Sundays and Wednesday is for rice and peas. You will always hear, nobody cooks on a Friday and Saturday unless they have to."
Marsha J describes.
“I'm not afraid or ashamed of my food game so a small tribe of us from different communities in Jamaica, decided a couple years ago, to take our love for food to the streets once a month, and we try to do it each year during Restaurant week. What’s good food without company? Just imagine this... leaving behind a hectic work week, going home catching a power nap, jump in the shower, get up, get ready and go! We have decided to go restaurant hopping through the nook and cranny of the north coast. While we treat our pallets, we get to meet new people, try new things and just liming with friends.”
You get to dine late with Marsha J and her tribe, as she calls it!
