The first annual Prospect-Lefferts Gardens “Jerk-Off” was held earlier this week by a group of local jerkaphiles, to determine just who makes the best jerk chicken in the neighborhood. Considering the area’s huge Caribbean population, it was a tough call. Hammonds Bakery and Jerk Center won top jerk honors, with the more-hyped Peppa’s coming in a distant fourth owing to crippling dryness. Which only goes to show that you’re only as good as the last chicken you jerk.
