I was just leaving L&M with fresh supplies of ice, beer, etc and this guy walks up to stick a hand bill in my face which I usually resist when I'm on a mission, especially with a full load of groaning plastic bags.
"I'm Bentley," he informed me.
"You're world famous," I replied
"Yah, mon! World famous."
"We'll be up for dinner this evening."
"First time I'm gonna make you crab cakes."
"Super! Can't wait."
We were staying a Blue Cave Castle (as usual!) so it was a short, but pleasant stroll just after sunset. We were the first guests and staked out a table at the rail along the road. Bentley brought us a couple of cold ones and we kicked back to enjoy the view. Great vista with a wonderful perspective on BCC. I love the ambient neighborfood sounds of Jamaica, especially in a residential area like Bentley's or Wen's just up the way from Out of Town Pastry. Another couple (honeymooners) from BCC joind us at an adjoining table and we all just soaked up the sights, sounds and smells of cooking. This is real home cooking so Bently went to task making everything from scratch. In other words, call ahead or be patient. We drank alot of beers! First the crab back and eventually the cakes. Holy cow! What a feast. I was the onlky one who was pig enough to eat it all. Between courses, a large barn owl flew overhead silently. We all made out way back to BCC and a good nights sleep wit dem belly full.
