Jerkies Caribbean Restaurant is a vibrant, fast-casual concept known for its bold Caribbean fusion flavors and welcoming atmosphere. Founded by Haitian-American chef and event curator Jeff Morneau, Jerkies first opened in New Jersey and is now expanding to Times Square, offering flavorful takeout and catering rooted in Caribbean tradition.
With a menu that includes signature jerk chicken, sweet plantains, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, Jerkies reflects Chef Jeff’s commitment to quality, culture, and creativity. A classically trained chef with a background in French cuisine and a degree in business, Jeff is also the founder of Chef Jeff Catering and Jeffrey Morneau Atelier, blending fine dining, design, and immersive hospitality experiences.
Chef Jeff has been a valued supporter of The Metropolitan Chapter, having designed and planned COPA last year and catered other chapter events. This year, Chef Jeff and Jerkies proudly sponsor the retreat lunch, continuing their dedication to the Metropolitan Chapter.
