Kaboom Brings Jamaican Heat (and Low Prices) to Mid City
Since I moved here from NYC two years ago I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement for my beloved Jamaican Dutchy, the Midtown cart that introduced me to the wonders of jerk chicken, curry goat, and most importantly stew peas. The Kassava Truck was good while it lasted (it’s gone now), but I still can’t bring myself to go to their restaurant- mostly because it’s too expensive for ML purposes, but also because a little part of me is sure that great Jamaican food is not going to be found in the shadow of the Beverly Center. Nope- for that your best bet is to head to Mid City where Carribbean restaurants dot Washington and Pico in a way that makes you wonder when the “Little Kingston” sign is going up.
Natraliart is the go to favorite in the neighborhood, but I was a bit underwhelmed on my one visit. And it’s a bit too expensive. So when Lunch’er Garrett pointed out this quick little mention of Kaboom on the blog Food GPS I was intrigued. When I saw their prices, I was downright excited.
