- So today I'm at Philibert's Kitchen food truck,
and you often see them down
by Eastern Florida State College in Melbourne.
Today they're in Titusville, part of our Cookin' Up Justice.
This team right here is Kamal and his mom,
they are just two amazing people.
They do so much in the community.
They've actually been on Food Truck Wars
and while they didn't win it, they came really close
and they were the only Jamaican team
from the state of Florida that was out there
serving up jerk chicken.
This has got it going on.
If you haven't had a chance to try it yet,
philibertkitchen.com,
you can find out where they're at.
I'm gonna go over to the grill
and Kamal's gonna show me how we make jerk chicken.
(rock and roll guitar music)
So I'm at the grill with Kamal, my great friend
and he and his mom run Philibert's kitchen.
You see him down in Melbourne a lot.
They're expanding now to Merritt Island,
but Kamal, I've heard nothing but great things
about this chicken my friend, I'm excited to try it.
Kamal's already told me to stay outta the way,
he's gonna do most of this,
that way it'll turn out really good.
But come on, show me what we're gonna do with jerk chicken.
- So today we have jerk chicken dinner
which we're gonna prepare.
It comes with rice and peas, cabbage and plantain.
And here we have the setup and I will be showing what we do
and what type of seasonings we use on the actual chicken.
So we have about eight leg quarters here.
And the first thing we're gonna do,
we're gonna get some scallion,
and we're gonna cut up the scallion right there.
We're gonna season the scallion all over.
Here we have some salt and pepper,
and we're gonna just put a little bit of salt and pepper.
Sheriff, why don't you try this-
- You want some more salt and pepper?
- More salt and pepper, sir.
- All right. I'll get that right here.
I saw the technique you used there.
Look at that right there,
my friend - Beautiful.
- Please don't try that at home, all right?
Takes a lot of talent and a lot of skill.
- That's right. Now we have some brown sugar.
What the brown sugar do is bring the color
of the actual chicken once it is grilled.
So why don't you go ahead and take some brown sugar.
- This is brown sugar?
- Brown sugar, sir.
- Oh, nevermind.
(chef laughs)
Now see that doesn't go on as smoothly there
'cause it's a little bit sticky, but that's all right.
- That's all right.
And here it is, the secret ingredients.
Now Sheriff, this one, I can't tell you what's in it.
What I can tell you, it was made by the CEO herself,
Sandra Philibert.
- So this is mom's secret recipe?
- Secret recipe right here.
I don't know what it is.
I'm sure if I know I wouldn't be here.
So why don't you go ahead and test that?
- All right. All right. I'm gonna do this one a little bit.
That is gonna be awesome right there.
- All right. Thank you, Sheriff.
Now we have the Walkerswood Jamaican jerk seasoning.
Now the main ingredient of jerk chicken is the Walkerswood.
This can only be found, it is made in Jamaica
and this is made with a different type of seasoning
blended together, peppers, scotch bonnet,
you know, a lot of pimento seeds, and what we're gonna do,
we're gonna just sprinkle some here.
Why don't you go ahead
and help me sprinkle it. - All right.
All right.
Uh oh I went outside the bowl there.
- That's okay.
- Nobody saw that.
We'll edit that right out.
Don't you worry about that.
- All right. And Sheriff,
this is the part that I am going to take care of.
Now, here we have all the seasonings on the jerk.
We usually marinate this for about 24 hours.
And so what I'm gonna do, I am going to mix throughout.
Okay. Make sure the seasoning hit every part.
Usually we'll cut the chicken here, so the seasoning go in.
All right. So we mix every part.
- I gotta be honest with you,
I'm glad Kamal's doing that part.
All right, come on now. We got it, man.
You mixed it all up.
- Mix it up.
- It's smelling so good in there.
- There we go!
- Now, while that's cooking up,
let's cook up a little bit of Brevard County justice
and ask our citizens to help us solve this case.
- [Narrator] On June 2nd, 2018 at approximately 9:30 PM,
Brevard County Sheriff's office deputies
heard multiple gunshots coming from the area
of West Court in Titusville.
Upon the deputies responding to the area,
they located a male, later identified as Elvin Smalls,
seated inside a vehicle in front of 1645 West Court
in Titusville.
Mr. Smalls was found to be suffering
from several gunshot wounds and was transported
to Parrish Medical Center where he later died.
Witnesses reported seeing a gray hatchback sedan
with dark tinted windows, possibly a Toyota Prius,
fleeing the area after hearing the gunshots.

- So Kamal, this looks incredible, man.
Just the smell, all the things, everything working together
just got a great flavor to it.
You guys do so much for the community.
I mean, I know you do events with mayor Paul Alfrey
down in Melbourne, helping feed the homeless.
You just did an event over in Orlando
where you guys went over there and helped feed the homeless
all from your heart, all the things you do.
I know you feed a lot of our cadets out of the academy.
- Yes. - Cause you're set up
right there across from Eastern Florida state.
I hope you know how much we appreciate it, man.
How much you do for this community,
I always say it takes a community to protect a community,
and this is what that looks like.
This is all of us coming together.
All of us having a good time.
We all have a blast and making sure
that everybody in this community's taken care of, so
I appreciate it, man. - Thank you, Sheriff.
- Thank you for letting us be with you today.
Now I get to my favorite part.
- All right. - Here we go.
- That's what I'm talking about. (laughs)
