Today marks another milestone here in the Attic, because guest Vince McIntosh is our very first restaurateur to stop in and share his story. And what a story it is! Vince was just 20 years old when he opened his restaurant IRIE KITCHEN, cementing his position as the youngest restaurant owner in Grand Rapids in recorded history. Nearly four years later, and IRIE KITCHEN is still flourishing as an authentic Jamaican restaurant in SE Grand Rapids (directions).
