Bill Bucknor, affectionately known as "The Rasta" was born in Mile Gully, Jamaica. He moved to Jamaica Queens, New York at the tender age of 12. His mother instilled in him and his siblings a simple motto " Either learn how to cook, or let some woman make you starve." He was raised on traditional Jamaican foods and realized that the kitchen was his haven. He enjoys watching people enjoy his food. He often cooks for potlucks and family gatherings and occasionally his children's workplace. Now he has decided to share his authentic and creative dishes with everyone.

Karis
Your wings were amazing at our get together last night. The meat practically fell off the bone. They were so juicy and flavorful through out. Not just on the top layer. Thank you for providing us with such a delicious main course. I took some home because I'm excited to have them for lunch today.
Christi
That macaroni n cheese....ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 👊🥰🥰🥰
Please contact us to let us know what your special needs may be. Example: You may not care for wings but would prefer thighs, drumsticks or Chicken breast.
How far in advance do i need to place my order?
Each order takes a minimun of 4 days after the order is confirmed. We make each order fresh. For larger orders, a full week may be needed.
Can i order for a potluck?
Of course! We love potlucks. Be the talk of the party and let your friends and family know, you got this dish from Mama's Pepper Juice-N-Tings!
What if i don't eat meat? Can you make a vegetarian/vegan dish?
That we can do. The Rasta is a Pecatarian ( He only eats fish with scales), but he wasn't always one. Back in the day he ate meat, HOWEVER he never did and never will eat pork. Pork at this time is the only meat not offered.
Will i get drunk from the Sorrel with OverProof Rum
No, We use the Over Proof Rum to bring up the "flavoring volumn" to add an extra Kick to the highly peppery flavor. Again, this item with Rum will not be sold to ANYONE under the age of 21.
How will i know when "Seasonal" item are available?
Our menu is updated daily. You will be aware of all items that are available
