How Chef Craig Wong Uses Michelin-Level Techniques at His Jamaican-Chinese Restaurant

At Patois in Toronto, Jerk chicken chow mein, pork belly yakisoba, and more dishes from chef Wong’s youth 

“I came from the world of fine dining, French cuisine, working in three-Michelin-starred restaurants, and I learned a ton of techniques,” says Patois chef Craig Wong. “I think it’s hilarious that they would be snobby towards our use of things like Ritz crackers. It’s delicious.”

Wong is referencing his prosperity jerk lobster dish, one of the many dishes at the Toronto restaurant that riffs on the ingredients and flavors he recalls from his youth, growing up in a Chinese family and community in Jamaica. “Chinese people go way back in Jamaica, there’s generations and generations of us there,” says Wong. “When we first opened, people had no idea this culture much less this cuisine existed.”

Chef de Cuisine Nicholas Beckford is Wong’s “right hand,” as well as a skillful chef when it comes to rubbing down whole chickens with a jerk rub, skewering them, and smoking them for the restaurant — a process that takes days. Together, they create dishes like jerk chicken chow mein, jerk pork belly yakisoba, prosperity jerk lobster, deep-fried oxtail with rice, dumplings, and peas, and more.

“Jamaican-Chinese food was taught to me by my grandmother. We go back three generations to Jamaica. She was cooking Jamaican food with Chinese ingredients, and Chinese food with Jamaican ingredients,” Wong reminisces. “Fusion for the sake of it is definitely not something that I’m into, but with a mixed background the way that I have, it’s just a natural progression for me to experiment and play with both sides of the cultures and the cuisines.”

Inside Norma G’s, which remains open for takeout in Detroit’s Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood | Michelle and Chris Gerard /Eater Detroit After decades of structural racism, Detroit’s Black restaurateurs are facing both health and economic crises This story was originally published on Civil Eats .

The owner of Norma G’s, a full-service Caribbean restaurant with 113 seats, a full bar, a menu that includes beef patties, curry goat, and jerk chicken, Gouvia says things were on track at the beginning of March.
