Jamaican Pot

Joining the increasingly popular New Center area of Detroit will be the Jamaican Pot at the New Center One building, 3031 W. Grand Boulevard, which plans to open in the next few months. This will be the popular carryout restaurant’s second location in Detroit – the other is at 14615 W. 8 Mile Road. “When we cook, we cook with love,” said co-owner Rose Forrest. “It just makes me feel so good when people say how good it is.” They’ll continue doing that at their new location, which will have a very similar menu to the original, with the addition of a vegetarian menu of eight to 10 items, including vegetarian jerk chicken and curry chicken. For owners Forrest and Bruce Cunningham – who are also husband and wife – this isn’t the only thing on the horizon. They hope to open a sit-down restaurant by early 2020, add some food trucks, and continue their well-known catering business.
