Food: Griot Caribbean Take Out

The Bay Bay's Chicken & Waffles location near my office closed up shop not long ago, and in its place opened a Haitian take out joint, descriptively named "Griot Caribbean Take Out."

For $7, you can get a half order of griot (fried pork) and a big ole pile of diri djon djon (mushroom-flavored rice and peas), garnished with a small tub of spicy pikliz (pickled cabbage and peppers) - tasty, unpretentious, and oh-so-filling.

Griot ain't the world's best Haitian restaurant, but it's probably the world's best Haitian restaurant within a 5 minute drive from my office.
