Jamaica's cast of characters is worthy of a Dickens novel, except Dickens' characters never said "ganga" so much. Along the beach, each salesman has a name appropriate to his task. Chef grills the jerk chicken; Jelly-Man sells jellied coconuts off his cart. The beachfront entrepreneur with the most pedestrian name is John, a re-located Chicagoan who runs one of the chillest open-air bars in Negril. Why did he give up life in a first-world country to become a self-proclaimed "beach bum"? "Mid-life crisis," he says. His friend, Hills-Man, comes to the beach...

Chile rellenos ($9.95) sound unusual as well, advertised as Anaheim and Poblano peppers stuffed with shredded chicken, cheese, sun-dried tomato and pumpkin puree, a combination that dares to depart from the norm. Baja also creates an entirely new form of fusion, a Mexican-style pizza with a tortilla crust, covered by black bean puree, and a selection of toppings ranging from grilled anaheim peppers, grilled corn...
