Golden Krust patties are overrated as fuck. I'll take the local mom & pop Jamaican bakeries over any Golden Krust all day every day. BTW the best patty & coco bread in the BX are at Kingston Bakery on White Plains Rd & Jackie's Bakery on 233rd St & Baychester Ave.

Jackie's at Bay Plaza has been my shit, since high school. I discovered it after a game (DeWitt Clinton) at Truman High School. Still till this day when I go back to visit family and friends I find an excuse to get one.
 
:lol:@Clark Kent

:hmm: they sell beef patties at 7-11. Hell I've seen Golden Krust and some other brand in some grocery stores.

and aren't most beef patties frozen these days?

at least Golden Krust has a brotha as CEO

and the cheese joints are ok. I got one from a pizza place. I look at them as being different, but similar.

I've driven from my office in the bronx or home in nj for these patties. Won't even accept tastee patties from ja anymore.
ok

you have a better choice of bakeries closer to your office in Bx

back in the 80s / 90s in se queens we had 4 or 5 great bakeries - fresh baked bread and patties daily - never frozen
the one in Queens Village: first batch ready at 6a, fresh batches throughout the day last batch sold out for the day by 5p to 7p

now they are all gone, Bx also had a gang of spots, Golden Crust was just one of many that made great freshness -
but now every golden crust patty is frozen - some with freezer burn -days old coco bread and a bullshit variety of only mild stale patties from jerk to veggie

all the popular patties are frozen -every Golden Crust etc -
only way to get fresh patties is buying them from a mom and pop bakery
 
I'm good with either Isle or Golden Krust. Tower Isles been around for like ever and was probably my first introduction to patties.
 
lol @ Golden Crust.
dude -a "real jamaican bad man" swearing by a frozen patty and a bakery that fell off years ago :giggle:
only reason - jamaican flavors is still considered good is because of the universal spread of Golden Crust's stale ass patties through NYC!

to my knowledge -fresh patties are only done in Bklyn and Bx now
but I keep searching for new spots in Queens
 
i only hit up the authentic jamaican/caribbean restaurants here for beef patties.
i seen a mexican dude wit a food cart downtown,....mufucka had beef patties on it.
could only look at his ass like.......nigga please.
 
Ain't Jamaican Flavors also the spot that has boneless jerk chicken? If it's what I'm thinking it is then that shit was beyond delicious
 
Dogs I use to gig on cats getting Patti at the pizza shop back in the days. When I go back its not how it use to be even Jamaican spots be half stepping when Im up top. Couple spots up in The BX on the Gunhill line 2 train that are bananas still lol.

My man took me to a spot I was twisted but I feel like it was like 3 in the morning and I got a chicken patty and joint tasted like it just was made. I was buggin... Yea had coco bread and a Cream soda to set it off right.

:dunno:anything is possible cause the company is horrible on consistency - and GK really doesn't
know what the franchisees are doing almost every restaurant seems to have different rules and cooks different recipes

I was lucky enough to chop it up with Mr. Hawthorne a few years back, I was setting up an intro to a Jamaican artist to license some of his designs and work - as we talked about a few things concerning uniform branding in the stores - I mentioned that I found the freshness of the patties disappointing and inconsistent across the stores - he told me that every patty is made at his factory and delivered - if there is a problem in consistency it's because franchisees aren't training workers to follow GK instructions
He then said he wants to implement a lot of what McDs does for quality control - but he's also focused on expanding the franchises...

FACTS!!!! No GK ever tastes the same as the other one. They are beyond hit or miss. I look at GK as a last resort for Caribbean food whenever I'm in an area that lacks other Caribbean spots. GK to me is the commercial goto spot for people who aren't familiar with Caribbean food.
 
not in over 10 years!
:confused: I've seen the patties made fresh and put into an oven.

Well it's not like every mom and pop spot makes good Caribbean food. So Gold Krust is more readily available than a good Caribbean spot in many places.
