The next Brampton family that has been selected to appear on the show is the Reid family, an energetic group of proud Jamaican-Canadians.

Captain Wayne owns a Jamaican restaurant is joined by his son Justin, who owns a barbershop, and daughters Cassandra, Stephanie and Felisha. The family loves to party and represent the restaurant at food festivals.
