CaribWorldNews, MIAMI, FL, Tues. Nov. 3, 2009: It will be all about the many flavors of Jamaican jerk this weekend as the 8th Annual Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival gets underway on November 8 at Markham Park in South Florida.

Jerk cheese, jerk peanut butter and  jerk caviar are just some of the options that fans may find, according to the show`s organizers. The show will also have its own form of iron `chef-ness,` during the Publix Jerk Cook-off  which will pit celebrity chefs against each other in a quick-fire contest.

Patrons are set to get a real treat when the celebrity cook-off gets under way with big-name personalities such as NBC television broadcaster Sharon Lawson, 103.5 The Beat`s Vanessa James, Rodney Baltimore of Hot 105, and WPLG 10 news reporter Terrel Forney.

Cooking demonstrations will also be led by some of the industry`s best known chefs including `Irie Spice` Hugh Sinclair; Helen Willinsky, jerk aficionado, owner of Helen`s Tropical Exotics, and successful cookbook author; and prominent chef and top ranking participant on Bravo television`s Top Chef program, Sara Mair.

In the Grace Kitchen, patrons will also get in on the food arts with cooking demonstrations featuring some of Grace Food`s newest products from Grace`s cooking expert Chef Mazie Miller. Tickets ahead of the event are just ten dollars and are available online at www.jerkfestival.com or at selected Caribbean outlets.
