Pudding Man
Edgar Wallace, better known as the 'Pudding Man' from Jus Coool Restaurant in Priory, St. Ann, is a figure whose fame transcends his modest beginnings. Despite initially being unknown by his real name among many Jamaicans, his renown as the country's premier pudding maker has made him a household name, even catching the eye of the prime minister and making him a special guest at a high-profile media appreciation event. His journey from a Rastafarian exploring various business ideas to becoming a celebrated icon in tourism and gastronomy highlights his rise to potentially being the most famous pudding maker not only in Jamaica but across the Caribbean and possibly the world. Wallace's success story is a testament to his culinary skills and his ability to turn traditional Jamaican pudding into an international sensation, making him a poster boy for Jamaica's international gastronomy campaign.
