From April 2006 Dirt Cheap Eats
Goat Curry at Jerk Hill. On weekends, the lines never seem to thin at this Jamaican storefront along East-West Highway. With good reason: Seldom do you come across a goat curry as good as this one ($6.83 small, $10.24 large), its brown depths teeming with shreds of stewed baby goat that have all the peppery bite you could hope for. This is hearty, home-style cooking. Eat it with the same lusty brio as the customers in the small dining room adjoining the kitchen–tear off a hunk of the excellent coco bread and swab it through the curry so you don't leave any behind.
