Our Boom J’s Cuisine food truck brought over 400 ice-cold, fresh coconuts straight from the caribbean  to the Old Port from July 9 to 12, 2026, and we couldn't wait to serve you a taste of our champion number-one sellers—our authentic jerk chicken and signature jerk poutine—at the Taste of the Caribbean festival.

When the reggae started to pump through the speakers, you would have sworn you were in downtown Kingston Jamaica at a dub session. The bass was thumping off the main stage while our traditional Jamaican drum grill was heating up, ready to serve the massive crowd. The live reggae artists were incredible, completely lighting up the crowd, all the way to Soca Sunday when Alison Hinds brought the high-energy soca vibes that had the whole Old Port jumping. The atmosphere was absolutely electric.

Our original full-sized food truck was on site, but we also brought double the trouble—our brand-new second addition, Boom Boom Poulet Frit! The crowd absolutely loved the island-style fried chicken truck. It was honestly the moment we realized we could successfully operate two food trucks with two completely different concepts in the exact same location. It was an amazing, amazing festival!

To keep up with the long lines stretching across the park, our mobile setup pumped out a full menu of authentic Caribbean comfort food and Quebec fusion:

Best Jerk Chicken in Montreal (Signature Dish)

Jerk Poutine

Boom Boom Fried Chicken

Jerk Wraps

 Jamaican Patties

Vegetarian Plate

Oxtail

Many more....

None of this magic would have been possible without the amazing family behind the food. I want to give a huge, heartfelt thank you to my beautiful wife, the entire Boom J’s team, and big up Team Amigo—led by Carlos, our master grill chef from the Dominican Republic, who held down the fiery drum grill with pure skill all weekend long. Your hard work, passion, and endless energy made this whole festival a massive success!

The energy and non-stop lines around our trucks were so intense that CBC Radio’s All in a Weekend with Sonali Karnick caught up with me live during the event. I got to speak about our journey, operating two food trucks in Montreal, and how we bring traditional Jamaican flavors and fusion dishes to the city's biggest festivals.
