Flavors 2013 - A Culinary Delight

Posted by John Fuller

St John’s premiere restaurants and caterers stepped up to provide bountiful and delicious offerings to several hundred guests supporting St John Rotary’s scholarships and community projects. They were aided and abetted by the islands’ wines distributors featuring wines from around the world, and our own St John Brewers with their imaginative brews.

Part of the fun is the friendly competition amongst them for bragging rights to “Best in Category” as determined by a panel of culinary professionals. This year our judges were led by Jan Robinson (St Thomas) and included Chris Mitchell (St Thomas), Eileen Mills (Lake Placid, NY), Kim McCall (St Thomas), James Crowther (St Thomas), and Richard Wiggins (St John). The results are
Mixology:
1st – Fatty Crab (Chupacabra)
2nd – Asolare

1st – Zozo’s at the Sugarmill (Imported Camazola wrapped in smoked prosciutto)
