The Cayman Islands is bringing Caymanian cuisine to New York City on October 23 with an exclusive dinner at Kitchen NYC in collaboration with Snooth.com, a wine-focused social networking website. The dinner features a five-course menu, exquisitely prepared by Executive Chef Niven Patel from Grand Cayman’s renowned The Brasserie, and will be accompanied by wine pairings from Snooth Editor-In-Chief, Gregory Dal Piaz. The event will be attended by influential New York food and wine bloggers.

Reflecting The Brasserie’s commitment to local and sustainable food, Chef Patel will source ingredients for the dinner from local city farmer’s markets, butchers and fish markets. The Brasserie itself uses only the freshest ingredients from its own kitchen garden and deep sea fishing boat as well as local growers.

The Cayman Islands Department of Tourism is delighted to extend the destinations presence to the New York audience and highlight the culinary scene, which underpins the Islands reputation as the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean. Commenting on the event, the Honourable Premier, McKeeva Bush, stated that “when Snooth approached our tourism department to host a dinner together, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase another one of Cayman’s talented chefs to New York media. By providing guests with the opportunity to experience dishes featuring the flavours of the Cayman Islands, Chef Patel will also be showcasing our Islands’ commitment to sustainability, that’s woven throughout our culture and infused within our cuisine.”
