Jonathan Gold reviews Sunny Spot, Roy Choi's Caribbean-influenced joint in Venice Beach. He recommends the fried pigs' feet, jerk chicken wings, flatbread with ricotta and harissa, brown sugar short ribs, Jamaican roasted lamb, mofongo and sweet potato pie. If you aren't hungry, the rum-based cocktails are worth going for alone.
