~~<p>I first spotted the Jawaiian Irie Jerk truck zipping from place to place before I noticed it had settled in the parking lot next to Century Center. The site is not in an easy place to pull into unless you're headed Ewa on Kapiolani. Every time I saw it, I was en route elsewhere and told myself I'd check it out some other time. Some other time soon stretched into five years, and my first trip to the truck came at an Eat the Street event early this year.</p>
<p>I swooned over Chef Cassie Simmonds' jerk chicken and escovitch fish, but, like any busy person, still found it hard to make a food truck a destination. You not only have to drive there, but, unless you plan to eat in your car, you need to be heading to a place where you can sit and eat comfortably.</p>
