This week Cara took me and Chris (my husband) out to a special dinner of Jamaican food. It was to celebrate Chris’ birthday (which was in January…nothing like stretching your birthday out for a couple of weeks. Or months!) We went to a great restaurant in Cambridge called Ortanique. The best thing about the restaurant? The owners (who were the friendliest people alive – check out their picture on the website on the “about us” tab), and the Beef Patties, which were scrumptous.

Cara and I both developed a taste for the Jamaican Beef Patty when we were in Bermuda on vacation last year. Yes, it seems weird to fall in love with a Jamaican Patty in Bermuda, but I still haven’t had one as good since.

Actually, all the food at Ortanique was tasty, so if you’re craving Jamaican food (Curried Goat, Ox Tail, Jerk Pork, Fried Plantains), I recommend it. We’ll go back.
