It won’t be long before one of Houston’s hottest spots for Caribbean cuisine<\/a> will be available in another part of the area. Jamaica Pon Di Road<\/a> has officially filed a permit for its expansion to the Missouri City area, and an opening is tentatively\u00a0planned for this summer.<\/p>\n

According to the project details submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation<\/a>, Jamaica Pon Di Road’s newest destination will be nestled at 3434 FM 1092 in Missouri City. Construction for the estimated $150,000 renovation is expected to be completed between May and the end of July. But, as always, information in TDLR filings is subject to change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team behind Jamaica Pon Di Road revealed the upcoming second restaurant at the beginning of the year. Gareth Powell (a.k.a Chef G.)<\/a> didn\u2019t share too many details about the newer\u2014and bigger\u2014location, but he did promise that folks can expect the same authentic flavors at the space formerly home to Sugar’s Cajun Cuisine & Bar.<\/p>\n

An official opening date has yet to be announced, but the team previously teased it would be sometime this summer.<\/p>\n

Chef G. and his family have been dishing out classic Caribbean cuisine in Houston for a decade\u2014first in a food truck, and then a bright blue cottage in the Acres Home area that became its first brick-and-mortar restaurant.<\/p>\n

Hailing from Jamaica, Chef G brought years of culinary experience to Houston and at Jamaica Pon Di Road developed a menu blending both traditional and modern flavors, like jerk chicken, oxtail egg rolls, sweet drunken plantains and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It won’t be long before one of Houston’s hottest spots for Caribbean cuisine will be available in another…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238950,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1703,1704,27,29,28],"class_list":{"0":"post-238949","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas","8":"tag-chronfood","9":"tag-chronstaff","10":"tag-texas","11":"tag-texas-headlines","12":"tag-texas-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
