The Jerk Chicken Queen of the Bronx Street Food Icons

Fauzia AbdurRahman has been serving Jamaican food in the South Bronx from her cart Fauzia s Heavenly Delights, right outside the courthouse, for the last 25 years. The menu changes every day, but there are always two meat options, a fish option and three vegetarian options. With the help of her daughter and husband, Fauzia makes her famous jerk chicken three times a week, and finishes it with her homemade jerk sauce that she makes with pimiento and scotch bonnet peppers, plus a host of other ingredients.
