Etobicoke’s Wayne Reid is a third generation Jamaican jerk sauce maker who is on
a mission to spread his unique flavours to jerk lovers everywhere.
‘Flavour guy’ Reid, as he is dubbed at cookouts, is the owner and operator of Reggae Kitchen Inc.
He will never forget his journey to success began after learning his great granny perfected a nice-tasting jerk sauce two generations ago in Jamaica.
Five flavours of Reggae Kitchen’s jerk sauce is now on sale.
The recipe was shared in the family until his great grandmother found success selling it at the Boston Jerk Centre, a farmer’s market in Port Antonio, Jamaica.
When Reid learned of his family’s history with flavours and spices, he was inspired to start his own line of authentic Jamaican sauces.
He spent his young adulthood playing with different formulas and quickly became
known as the “Flavour guy.”
It took 20 years until Reid bottled his first original flavour.
“Never give up. Find your dream and pursue it,” Wayne insists.
‘Flavour guy’ respects his grandmother for inspiring his many jerk sauce recipies.
Reggae Kitchen Inc. has five different jerk sauces, including mango, tamarind and
masala, available at Ocean Season Food Mart, Maple Lodge Chicken Shop, Nicey’s Jayoras Market and Danforth Foods.
