#SupportBlackBusiness - Besa Gordon has a long history with Jerk Shack Kitchen—literally from day one! She was the very first customer when they opened their Central District location, and since then, she’s been a loyal supporter of Chef Trey Lamont’s mouthwatering Caribbean-inspired dishes. So when Chef Trey invited her back to try something new, she was all in. This time, it wasn’t just about tasting—Besa got hands-on and learned how to make Jerk Shack’s famous Jerk Lamb Chops, drizzled with their latest creation: Queen Bee’s Hot Honey.

The Secret to Jerk Shack’s Jerk Lamb Chops

If you know Besa, you know she’s not usually a fan of gamey meats, but Chef Trey took that as a challenge. “I decided to make you do our jerk lamb chops, which is drizzled with our new product—Queen Bee’s Hot Honey,” he told her. The honey, made in-house with Scotch Bonnet peppers, adds the perfect mix of heat and sweetness to the dish.

The lamb itself is marinated for 24 hours with jerk spice, kosher salt, garlic, ginger, olive oil, black pepper, and fresh thyme. “It’s a French rack, meaning the connective tissue is removed so you get those nice, lollipop-style chops,” Chef Trey explained. After hitting the grill for a perfect sear, the lamb is rested, then finished on the flat top before being plated with rice and peas, plantains, and Caribbean slaw.

The Moment of Truth: Besa Tries the Queen Bee

With a finished plate in front of her, Besa picked up a lamb chop, took a bite, and immediately knew—this was fire! “How’s that hot honey on it?” Chef Trey asked.

“It’s delicious, I need a little more!” Besa said, grabbing another drizzle of Queen Bee’s Hot Honey.
