Chubby's Jamaican Kitchen is slated to pop up at 104 Portland, right across the street from Gusto 101. Along with dine-in service, Chubby's, which is named after a woman who makes a mean jerk chicken, will offer takeout and delivery options for its menu that'll focus on healthy, local ingredients as well as authentic Jamaican flavours.
