Walker'sWood (Dallas)

Who in the Dallas area, besides Fiesta and Taste of the Islands, carries Walker's Wood products?
It's the only brand of jerk seasonings that comes close to the real thing.
Well, Busha Browne is very close, but I've never seen their products around town.

    1. There is a market located next to Carribean Grill at Webs Chapel and Forest SWC. I know they have carribean products but not sure about Walker's Wood. There is a Fiesta in that general area too at Webb Chapel, Lombardy, and Webb Chapel Ext.

          The idea is to find the product without having to go on a scavenger hunt or ordering online.

              I will be near the market LH mentioned. I will pop in for a looksee.

            2. Eureka, the Caribbean market that LH suggested did indeed have the Walker Wood jerk sauce at a low, low cost of 4 bucks a bottle. They also had three other brands of similar product. See attached photo I took while at the market.

              In addition to this find, they also make some nice Jamaican patties and have them for sale in a display case in the front of the shop.

                  I figured if Taste of the Islands had it that the Caribbean Grill "Market" would surely have it as it is about the size of the restaurant portion of Taste of the Islands.

                    1. re: LewisvilleHounder

                      True. It was the first time I had been in there and it is no larger than an average sized bedroom with just a few shelves. The Jamaican patty was delicious and had the tell-tale faint island curry flavor. The crust was light and buttery.

                        1. re: DallasDude

                          Thanks for the leg-work, but it looks like Fiesta is still the closest place for me.
                          Were the patties at the Caribbean market as good as the ones at Taste of the Islands??

                            1. re: slewfoot

                              The pattie was fresh, falvorful with a slight curry after taste. The crust was buttery and flaky. Nice stuff. Wouldn't make a trip just for that unl;ess I had a craving. Would be nice if a bit spicier.

                        2. Kroger sells their products.

                            1. After buying one of their sauces online for around $4.50, I was in Central Market and saw the same item for a tad under $3.00!! Now I just keep stocked up on it.
