TGIF! Brunch at Broken Plate Continues to be #SugaEndorsed

Watch highlights here!

We made reservations last Sunday for 11:15AM (Although Suga got there closer to Noon :)).
I joined my ladies when they were finishing their Appetizers…Calamari, no surprise there.

I had given them my order already, so it would arrive with theirs. I was thankful for the healthy options that Broken Plate continue to provide. Fulljoyed My stacked plate of Octopus Avocado Toast made with Coconut Avocado Bread as the base. It was so moist and wholesome! The Short Rib and Steak and Egg Sandwiches didn’t look filling, but the Southern Chicken & Waffle was another winner.

Did you see that Matcha Cake?! Yum!

It was an unusual day for The Bartender to be on his own, but our drinks arrived in adequate time and thankfully we left just as Brunch became Buzzier closer to 2pm. I only ask that light music be played in the background.

The staff was attentive throughout, kept us updated on our orders and we had a great afternoon catching up with each other, leaving satisfied.

A New Brunch menu is offered each week. Love that. RSVP ONLY.

When last have you gone on a date, gone for brunch, lunch or dinner at Broken Plate? Make your Reservations and get to it!

Cheers from Treasure Beach Inn! What are you doing for the rest of Summer?!

Summer marks the 1 year Anniversary that Hurricane Beryl destroyed this beautiful villa. I was excited and happy to visit upon its reopening the end of May earlier this year for the Calabash Festival.

Who makes last minute plans to attend Calabash and stay over for the weekend? Suga does! Because I can find gems like Treasure Beach Inn (Ig: @treasurebeachinn). Owner, Ernie Muirhead quickly accommodated me, sending menus and ensured I was comfortable throughout my stay.

Saphia cooked up a storm from morning to night for the weekend, with traditional Jamaican spicy Callaloo, Cook up Saltfish, Stew Peas to tie me so I return, good ol’ fried Chicken and Curried Lobster.

The rebuild was still in progress, but complete for the most part. I enjoyed the breezy Bar you can dine or drink, chill and chat for hours by, clean Room and Kitchen with modern, yet rustic beachside furnishings.

Demanding a Pool would be a lot after such a big rebuild, but the Beach is close by!

If you need a staycay before September begins or need to plan ahead for Treasure Beach’s Food, Rum and Reggae Festival (Ig: @foodrumreggaefestival),

Call 876.563.0658 or 754.216.8866 and visit their Instagram Page @treasurebeachinn!

The Perfect Start to Spring with Venezuelan Cuisine at EITS Cafe, Irish Town!

#fbf to Last Sunday to Brunch & Beats at EITS Cafe in Irish Town, Kingston (Ig: @17milepost)!

This staging of Brunch & Beats featured authentic Venezuelan Cuisine by Chef Ines and upbeat Venezuelan music by Sherkhan.

Watch Suga’s Highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHwZXx5SWiY/?igsh=b2IzeXZ4cndqa3ky

The Menu kept signature dishes of EITS as options such as the Barrel Roasted Chicken, Curry Goat and their Ackee & Callaloo with fried Sweet Plantain made a Specialty Arepa! They did notttt disappoint, although I prefer my Curry Goat to be spicier.

The shredded Beef Specialty Arepa was wholesome and amazing!

We enjoyed all courses from start to finish, even if there were waits between, actually necessary to make room for more! I felt like I could have been happily rolled off the hill afterwards.

The Quesilla (Venezuelan Flan) was similar in taste to a Panna Cotta and the hints of Jamaican Rum in the sauce was delish.

A refreshing day in spring and a perfect reset for the week ahead.

*Reservations Recommended* They are closed this weekend for Light Renovations.
