Chef Christopher Martin, A.K.A Cmarty once said, “A pop-up is like throwing your own birthday party,” which explains why every Cmartys Jerk pop-up feels like a party. A former civil engineer who started his pop-up from a clothing and seasoning brand, Martin built one of the best sandwiches in the city- the jerk banh mi, an ingenious crossover between the iconic Vietnamese sandwich and the Caribbean classic. And yet you can’t pin this man down, as he’s coming up with new menus almost every week for his recurring pop-up at King Tai Bar. He’s injecting Caribbean flavor into anything from dumplings, to tacos, to New England-style seafood rolls.
