Everton Cameron, owner of High Grade Foods, has operated his very successful food truck since 2013, when there was just a smattering of mobile food businesses cruising around town. On May 28, he opened a sit-down dining restaurant at 1020 S. Tejon St., but not without major delays.
“Yeah, it’s taken about three and a half years,” he said. “There were construction delays and then the pandemic.”
The good news is he is open and serving some of the most scrumptious Jamaican dishes we’ve dived into for some time. Cameron’s culinary talent, which was honed working at upscale Jamaican hotels and resorts, shines at his new eatery. One example: the Jamaican beef patty with coco bread ($8) we enjoyed at lunch. This flavorful staple of Jamaica is made with minced beef spiced with curry powder and chiles. Cameron covers the patty in a flaky pastry before it’s fried. Then he folds the patty in his handmade, deliciously soft coco bread.
