Hi Jimmie, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Embracing the Jamaican culture from my stepfather since a young age, entrepreneur and I went to study culinary arts in Atlanta, I began entering in jerk competitions in 2010, and within two years I won 2012 Top Chef at Atlanta Caribbean Jerk Festival, followed by consistent cook-off honors nationally. Applying my culinary and bartending skills at the esteemed Muss and Turner’s deli, I also launched Jimmie’s Jerk Chicken (JJC), a small Jerk and BBQ seasoning company. My flagship product JJC Jerk Seasonings led to more awards thanks to it showcasing what I calls “American Jerk” fusing Jamaican spices with New American  influences as Well as Using American BBQ techniques in cooking. Staying busy during this pandemic, I continued to expand my brand with catering, pop-up dinners and collaborations with other chefs; You can follow  for upcoming events regularly on my website, Jjcjerk.com and Social Media like www.facebook.com/jjcjerk
