Pimento Jamaican Kitchen’s secret sauce? Community spirit
There’s a little Jamaica right here in Minnesota and it’s called Pimento Jamaican Kitchen.
Tomme Beevas started his restaurant 11 years ago with a $99 tent and a backyard grill.
Now he’s an award-winning chef and entrepreneur who’s opening two new locations this summer — one at 354 Wabasha St. in St. Paul and a second Minneapolis location at the new Bde Maka Ska pavilion.
Beevas has found a way to make his restaurants more than a place for food.
