#tbt! Did You Know Our Events Started with My GW Art Exhibitions?!

[AVAILABLE: Our Doctor Bird (Framed Acrylic on Canvas: J$100,000]

Happy Tuesday! I am Gabrielle Burgess and I am an Artist.
My Art is mostly Graphic with a signature use of colour, texture, vintage black and white, and sometimes incorporates a touch of Jamaican. I believe GW Art (Ig: @gwartbygabby) is for everyone.

In 2018 I decided to have the Christmas Connection event under the Suga Lifestyle brand, instead of the GW Art Exhibition, thinking I could curate an experience with more variety of high quality, local products representing the island’s Creative Industries, while contributing to selected Charity Beneficiaries. Most importantly, each vendor would be unique to their own craft or style for maximum profit. GW Art did the best it ever did, almost sold out, and so it began.

Suga’s Breakdown

My Aunt, Maxine Spencer visited Barton G for her birthday in August and highly recommended it as a must-stop destination in Miami. From what I saw, I knew I had to visit on my next trip with my husband, Randy.
Epicurean delights were served on eye-popping displays that only added to the enjoyment of the food, great service and ambience. We also had front row seats to see them all come out the kitchen.
We kicked things off with cocktails like no other!

20191022_102622
Stairway to Heaven – Grey Goose Cherry Noir, Godiva White Chocolate Cream, Frangelico

Appetizers
The appetizers were so tasty, you had to worry about space for the entrees!

20191022_102658
Lobster Pop Tarts (USD$29) – Lobster and Fontina Mornay sauce, Flaky Phyllo, Tabasco Hollandaise, Tarragon Aioli

The flavours and textures in the Lobster Pop Tarts were truly a pleasant surprise. There was even a hint of sweet.

20191022_102726
Laughing Bird Popcorn Shrimp (USD$27) – Crispy Rock Shrimp, Sweet & Spicy Chili sauce, Popcorn

The Popcorn Shrimp had the right amount of crisp, complemented well by the sweet and spicy chili sauce.
The tender, juicy delish Sliders almost struck me out! But I wouldn’t allow them to do so. I just had a taste.

20191031_043434
Strike Out Sliders (USD$36) – Wagyu Beef, Gruyere Cheese, Red Onion, Jam, Smoked Ketchup, Garlic Aioli, Black Truffle Brioche

Eye-popping Entrees!

20191031_043552
Orange Salmon (USD$39) – Pan Seared Salmon Loin, Garden Patatouille, Roasted Pepper Paint, Herb Pesto, Fennel Chip

20191031_043658
Randy Burgess with his Samurai Tuna (USD$42) – Ahi, Korean spices, Kimchi Risotto Fritters, Sweet Miso Butter, Shishito Peppers

The Ahi Tuna was perfection. Look at those cuts!
I have to confess that we also had the best Lobster Mac and Cheese I have ever tasted. It was divine with huge pieces of Lobster.

20191020_202046.jpg

20191020_201901
I thoroughly enjoyed my Risotto Jambalaya. A burst of different flavours with the best of both worlds, Meat and Seafood. Of course I couldn’t finish it, but I must say that the Okra and Spices were sensational additions to the dish.

20191020_201918
Risotto Jambalaya (USD$35) – Chicken Andouille Sausage, Gulf Shrimp, Arborio Rice, Okra, Cajun Mirepoix, Spices

Did we really have Dessert?! Of course! You cannot pass up on getting the ‘Dolla Dolla Bills Y’all’!
***Check out Suga Lifestyle’s Instagram stories for the Videos!!!***
Mega Rich chocolate ganache and dulce de leche tart, under a gold brick shell that was torched off! Vanilla bean ice cream and golden caramel corn. THE perfect way to end the night. 💯
