Fine dining has largely been shaped by a staid canon of European techniques and cuisines. But at Bar Kabawa, whose sister restaurant, Kabawa, was recently named the best restaurant in New York City by The New York Times, chef Paul Carmichael brings the richness, complexity, and joy of Caribbean food to the center of the fine dining experience. Hear from Carmichael and Nneka Nurse, founder and CEO of culinary event organization Best Dressed Plate, on how Bar Kabawa is changing the discourse in the culinary world by elevating the flavors, stories, and traditions of the Caribbean that have long been overlooked. You’ll also enjoy a Caribbean rum journey and cocktail pairings from Bar Kabawa’s islands-focused rum list.
