You don't have to hop on a plane to enjoy authentic
Jamaican food.
From the
classic curry goat, to sweet potato muffin with coconut – the authentic food is served
up at Shadee's, a Jamaican takeout restaurant in Riverhead.
Shane Hope
bounced around the metro area when he first came to the United States from his
native Jamaica.
He worked in a family member's Jamaican restaurant in the
Bronx, then decided to open his own. He chose Riverhead.
“It was quiet, peaceful and
everything. There was no Jamaican restaurants around here, so I thought that would probably
be a good thing to do,” says Hope.
Shane, his wife Dion and even their grandchildren all take part in serving the unique flavors of
his native land.
“He's come up with a signature
spicy barbecue and the pork ribs are becoming a Jamaican style staple in here,” days Dion.
