Maroon Sausage was created in a collision of cultures that can only happen in a place like New York City, where people from around the country, and the world, come to share in each others’ cultural experiences. That being said, the jerk chicken spice blend used in our sausages came about in a very natural way—in the kitchen of a couple in Brooklyn. One of whom is originally from the Chicago area, where people eat lots of sausage, the other with roots in Jamaica, where people often use jerk. And there you have it—jerk chicken sausage.
Maroon Sausage Company is an expression of flavors created in the mountains of Jamaica by the Maroon people long ago…I added their story
and flavors to the sausage game.
