What Makes This Burger Special?
The Jerk Seasoned Patty
We start by seasoning our burger patty with Very Necessary Jerk Seasoning Rub, a rich blend of island spices that packs just the right amount of heat and depth. Adding pieces from the Island Spiced Oil infuses even more aromatic flavor while keeping the patty juicy and flavorful.
The Tangy Escovitch Topping
Our Jamaican Escovitch Sauce takes this burger to another level. Traditionally used on fish, this sauce features pickled carrots, onions, and Scotch bonnet peppers soaked in a vibrant, spicy vinegar-based sauce. It adds an irresistible crunch and tang that perfectly balances the smoky jerk spices.
