Tara K. Stoutt, Enid Pickering win big @ Food Fete
The event got underway after the scheduled 2:00 PM start time, but this did not take away from the fun time that was had by everyone who took the time to attend.
Some of the persons who graced the event were Premier and Minister of Tourism Dr The Honourable D. Orlando Smith, Territorial Member of the House of Assembly and Junior Minister in the National Democratic Party (NDP) Honourable Archibald C. Christian, and Sixth District Representative Honourable Alvera Maduro-Caines.
Both Honourable Maduro-Caines and Honourable Christian lauded the event and said that from the little they saw following their arrival they were impressed with the displays.
Dr Smith lauded the efforts of all of the persons who came out with their foods for sampling and thanked them for their participation and for making the event a successful one.
The event culminated with the Best Restaurant and Best Fish and Fungi competitions, which saw a number of persons vying for top honours.
Copping the top prize was Tara K. Stoutt of JB’s Kitchen. Stoutt, recently featured by Virgin Islands News Online as a Young Professional, continues to make strides locally and her achievement is but another example of this.
Winning the hearts of the judges in the Best Fish and Fungi competition was Enid Pickering, who bested Mariette Fahie and Lucinda Smith. The three judges obviously had a huge task on their plate literally as they tried to discern the best tasting fish and fungi in their view.
In addition to the fine foods on display for sampling, patrons were given a treat of fungi music and were entertained by steel pan music and drum corps. Further, there was a dance performance by the Feteniques Majorettes which displayed their dexterity and skills.
Yesterday’s event was part of the ongoing Taste of the BVI Food Fest which will see the next stop being the Anegada Lobster Festival on November 28 and 29, 2015.

That traitor go from here bossie
F..... somehow cheat for Tara. Time will deal with him accordingly.
$200.000 dollars for locals to sample local food as the tourist season begins. Who does that? Real Boost for the economy when the country is trying to manage limited funds. Maybe they should change the name from "Tourist Board" to Local Board because it seems stupid that just before the season we spent this type of money to give locals sample food from local vendors. Maybe locals will take all the tourist out to eat... We can do better then this!
Food too damn expensive!
