Trinidad and Tobago (TT) swept the Taste of the Caribbean awards last night, taking home six gold medals and two silver medals, as well as the coveted Caribbean National Team of the Year award. The TT team was tops securing also the titles of Chef of the Year which was won by Brendon Maharaj and Junior Chef of the Year, won by Annelca Mendoza.

Taste of the Caribbean is an annual event organised by the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA), bringing together teams from around the Caribbean to showcase the diverse culinary flavours of the region. This is the sixth time Trinidad and Tobago has won the top honour since the competition began in 1993.

Each team is composed of two senior chefs, one junior chef, one bartender, one pastry chef and one manager. The participating team members represent hotels, restaurants or educational institutions in the Caribbean which are members of the CHTA.

In a Facebook post, the Trinidad Hotels, Restaurants & Tourism Association (THRTA) conveyed hearty congratulations to all the Caribbean culinary teams that “participated and produced excellence over this past week at Taste of the Caribbean 2016.” “The camaraderie and warmth felt and shared by all reconfirmed the rich and unique experience that the Caribbean has on offer to the world.

“We also extend congratulations to the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA) for producing another successful instalment of Taste of the Caribbean in 2016. This competition underscores the priority placed by CHTA and National Hotel Associations in the human capital development of our young, talented culinary professionals throughout the region.” (See Gallery, Section

Half Hindu? You should know  since you are half man half woman

  Ok , since you insist I will tell you more and here goes
You are an idiot confused on your gender , most likely a transgender, transvestite or Hermaphrodite or all  of the above. You are a chameleon changing from  woman Socafighter  to Chinese man Chin all in a flash

Chairman I believe that it is about time that you get a moderator for this site / This should not be permitted . Chin is wheel chair bound and a great contributor to this forum . I believe that  Ramesh should have some censure or a temporary ban from here.

Chin: Nawww ..its fun making you look foolish on threads ....
