The pairing is uncommon enough to demand explanation: jerk fish represents the Caribbean half of the operation, while the Polish beef dip (a sandwich of slow-braised beef on rye, topped with gravy) anchors the other. This is not fusion for fusion's sake a literal reflection of who runs the kitchen and what they cook at home.
