Food is more than what’s on the plate, it’s a story of culture, family, and tradition. In this episode of Beyond the Stay , Baha Mar chefs Garrette Bowe, Gabi Sawyer, and Tevin Kemp share how they’re preserving the flavors they grew up with while putting their own creative spin on Bahamian cuisine. From peas and rice and conch to the family techniques passed down through generations, they explore how food keeps Bahamian culture alive and introduces guests to an authentic taste of home.
