Sweet, sticky sauces, slow-smoked meats, and savory sides: there’s nothing like the smell of barbeque in the summer. Aficionados know that “barbeque” is a sweeping term that includes American-regional styles like South Carolina’s vinegar-based sauce or Memphis-style slow-smoked, rubbed ribs, as well as many international traditions. Korea hits the sweet-savory mark with their thinly-sliced, grill-marked meats, and tender pork topped with smoky, hot jerk sauce brings the Caribbean into the grill game.
Goat curry and jerk chicken are just some of the outstanding BBQ eats at 2 Sisters 2 Sons. The authentic, family-owned Caribbean restaurant offers a menu full of traditional meals: oxtail, beef patties, rice and peas, seafood, and more. Add a bit of spice to your home grilling this summer with jerk seasoning, straight from savoir faire of the chefs at 2 Sisters 2 Sons.
