Jack's

Jack's is a restaurant that is located on Princess Margaret beach, a short drive down the road from us. It is actually a little hard to get to, though, down a single lane rough road (not that unusual here in Bequia) and a walk through the trees to the beach.

Well, we wanted to find it so on a return trip from town, we drove in. A very nice place on the beach.

We meet Ken, the chef, -- chatted up some and had a couple of laughs. We told him that we would be back sometime and I asked if he would at that time, "cook up something interesting" - Sure!

Alicia was very impressed, so we went back at 1:30 for lunch. It's the off season here, so it was not so crowded. I walked into the kitchen, met up again with Ken and told him to "make us something for lunch" - Okay he says.

We ordered up some margarita's and they were made my Arion, who noted that they were "the best in the west"

We enjoyed the drinks

Then we enjoyed Ken's choice: "a real island meal" - BBQ Chicken with Curry Spice Sauce, Potato Salad with Egg and Corn, Sauteed Callaloo (a local plant, kind of like chard). Everything was great; we especially liked the Callaloo. We asked Ken what was in it ... garlic, coconut cream, heavy cream butter ... no wonder it was so good!
