Born and raised in Clarendon, Jamaica; Chef Gareth (AKA Chef G) was classically trained in the cuisine of his traditional homeland. He prides himself on using authentic spices, natural ingredients and flavorful offerings to craft his menu at his Jamaica Pon Di Road food truck and restaurant. Operating in North Houston, Texas; the culinary chain is prideful in its authentic Jamaican cuisine such as the widely known beef patty.

August 7th is the 2021 celebration of National Beef Patty Day. The traditional dish includes minced ground beef with a mixture of vegetables and grains that is flattened into a pastry patty. Scrumptious! Pictured above, you can see the quality in the beef patty delicacy that Chef G offers for his consumers. His quality offerings are no surprise due to his inspiration that is drawn from his Jamaican roots. He formally received his training from the Runaway Bay Training Institute on the Northern Coast of Jamaica.

From there he worked in fine dining and other star restaurants/resorts throughout Jamaica. Fast forward to now, he has positioned himself in Houston, Texas to continue offering his vibrant, island flare in his Caribbean dishes. His brand of Jamaica Pon Di Road carries out his dream of serving both good food and good vibes.

Current menu offerings include: jerk chicken nachos, sweet bread, coconut rice and peas, cabbage, Jamaican braised oxtails, beef patty, curry goat, jerk pork, chicken patty and oh so much more! Although menu items vary per food truck location, there is still a wide array of tasty items to choose from. Chef G is a true statement to honoring your tradition while creating your own lane.
