Meet the man who’s bringing Caribbean flavor to Dawson County
Derrick Dawson
Derrick Dawson has set out to open the first Caribbean restaurant in Dawson County. He plans to open Dawson Jerk City USA inside the old Taco Bell in the old Kroger shopping center in February 2020.
With Caribbean flair in tow, the Dawsons are coming to Dawsonville. “We are a Caribbean family out of Brooklyn,” Dawson said. “We moved here from New York City and we basically worked hard in the catering business to build up the concept of having a brick and mortar. And now that we have it, it’s our mission to make sure it’s successful.”
