Join Jerk. Modern Jamaican Grill (811 W Chicago Ave.) this Saturday, August 6th, to eat delicious food for a great cause. Jerk. will give 10% of Saturday’s proceeds as a donation to Project Winter Camp Jamaica.

Dion Solano, owner of Jerk., grew up in Jamaica and wanted to bring the recipes and flavors he knew to the people of Chicago. He started the Jerk. food truck, which is still active, to do just that (http://www.jerkgrill.com/jerk-truck/). He then opened a permanent location at the 811 W. Chicago Ave. address. Jerk. serves a diverse and flavorful menu from jerk chicken to island slaw,  with refreshing beer and drink options, including Jamaican sodas.

We would like to thank Dion Solano and Jerk. for supporting us in our mission of creating an equal playing field for boys and girls. Dean Lothian, coaches from last year’s trip, and supporters of Project Winter Camp Jamaica will be at Jerk. from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM – all are welcome to join!
