The Jerk Spot, Toronto, ON

I love love love chicken rotis.

My favorite place to get them is Island Foods, which is in my 'hood.

The Jerk Spot open last year in our 'hood. I'm working from home today so I thought I would check it out for lunch.

I ordered a boneless chicken roti with breast meat (which costs more than leg meat) and a Diet Coke. It doesn't look very appetizing, does it?

There were a couple chunks of chicken breast, a couple chunks of potatoes, flakes of nonbreast chicken, lots and lots of sauce (it's quite spicy), chicken skin (maybe from the jerk chicken?) and small bones.

Yes, chicken skin and small bones!!!

Appalling considering I ordered a BONELESS chicken roti.

The quality wasn't very good and I couldn't finish it.

Needless to say, I won't be back!

Hi Tina--
thanks for the well wishes from you. Quite a surprise to hear from someone in Toronto. But welcome.
And, all I can say about your lunch foray---eeewwwww. Bones, particularly small bones, in a boneless dish? Eeewwww!

That is so disgusting. We ate at a local restaurant and one of the items was completely raw and frozen in the middle. Needless to day we never returned there.

Seems like they truly are jerks. You should have taken your chicken back and showed them the bones. They won't be in business long if they keep that up. Monica

It was looking good - but the bones in is just wrong. I hate eating and finding 'surprises' like that.

Sorry for the crappy lunch.
