- The Real Jerk, the Caribbean restaurant that narrowly avoided an unceremonious eviction from its Riverdale location of 24 years when its landlord tried to rent the place out to someone else, announced today that it will be moving to an as-yet-undisclosed new location at the end of May. Presumably, Torontonians will follow the oxtail wherever it goes.
