Sample Rub-A-Dub Kitchen’s Caribbean street food at Newmarket Creative Markets

After revisiting his homeland of Jamaica in 2011, Sunny Maseko’s passion for Caribbean street food was reignited.

Sunny returned back to Brisbane with the idea to create a Caribbean-and-Australian-infused street-food stall. The result, Rub-A-Dub Kitchen, is now a feature of the Newmarket Creative Markets. Sunny is a true Jamaican character who loves his food as well as his tunes. Rub-a-dub is style of Jamaican reggae that is infused into Sunny’s cooking performance as he sings along to his customers while he prepares their dish. Known locally as Doctor Rhyme, Sunny is the whole package – sugar and spice and everything nice

Rub-A-Dub Kitchen’s signature dish is its Jamaican jerk chicken burgers. Jerk is a style of cooking native to Jamaica in which meat is dry rubbed or wet marinated with a very hot spice mixture called Jamaican jerk spice. This is then layered on a 12-seeded mustard bun with garlic, lemon and lime aioli. Crunchy pork belly is another dish worth a try, roasted and stuffed with herbs and spices and served with salsa verde of pine nuts, basil and exotic flowers. Or sample Sunny’s goat curry, which is smooth and sweet, just like his tunes.

Pop down to the Newmarket Creative Market this Sunday February 1 for some of Rub-A-Dub Kitchen’s Caribbean street food and added entertainment.
