Back A Yard

Chef Robert & Annetta Simpson

family founders Robert and Annetta S. people's choice jerk flavored Caribbean Grill

 

the founder story

An upscale Caribbean-American culinary institution brought to life by the esteemed, internationally-trained Chef Robert Simpson. Rooted in the rich food traditions of his native Kingston, Jamaica, Chef Robert honed his craft across Europe and the elite Culinary Institute of America (CIA) before leading luxury hotels and Michelin-recognized kitchens across the United States. Translating 'Back A Yard' as the nostalgic way families gather to share premium food in the garden back home, his kitchen plates up legendary, deeply marinated Jerk Chicken, fall-off-the-bone Curry Goat, and caramelized sweet plantains, delivering an authentic, high-impact feast that brings soul, warmth, and memorable flair to major company milestones.
