Q: What is unique about the cuisine of your home country?
A: Bahamian cuisine is simple and flavorful: food that is tasty with fresh quality.
Q: Where did you train?
A: I apprenticed at the Hyatt Emerald Beach, a 700 room resort with a 1,200 capacity ballroom.
Q: What is your favorite dish to make?
A: It’s hard to pick just one. Anything that is natural and can make a menu look splendid while keeping the item both simple and trendy.
Q: Why do you think you will make the winning dish?
A: My dish will be creative, tasty and have an island flair. More than that I can’t say.
Just fixed it.
