Gary Shepherd’s “Buy Black” highlight of the week, April 9

April 7, 2017 Category: Local Posted by:

Wow! What a treat! While visiting the Chestnut Hill Farmers Market, we smelled the sweet aroma of jerk in the air. 

As we followed our noses, we discovered The Jerk Pit and immediately began to engage with Co-founder and Executive Chef Grace Foltz. 

We ordered their fresh made, tasty chicken patties right away and ordered some jerk chicken wings and boneless chicken for later…SPICY!! 

They are located at 8229 Germantown Avenue. Call them at (215) 242-JERK.
