VI finishes 3rd in ‘Street Pork Competition’ in USA
The duo, backed by other team members to put on display the VI’s best traditional “street style pork dish”, opted to do the whole pork roast, which was a major attraction to many, before it was pulled to pieces to make a local styled dish.
Youthful VI
The event, Caribbean 305 Contemporary Street Pork Cook-off, held at the Mana Wynwood Convention Center in Miami, saw fourteen Caribbean countries participating, the majority of which were dominated with seasoned adult chefs. For the VI team, it mainly was made up of youths.
And for taking third place in this competition, Chef Ponte expressed his satisfaction. In the JTV live stream of the event last night, Ponte said, “I want to thank the BVI and the great team they gave me. I want to tell them thanks very much because, comparing to the other countries, they gave me a lot of youths and I am proud of them.”
Chef Jolece Fraser, who was Ponte’s right hand person, said, “We worked hard and I am very thankful for third place.”
On hand to congratulate the team was Chairman of the BVI Chamber of Commerce and Hotel Association (BVICCHA) Nona Vanterpool-Bonalli, along with several others who travelled to Miami to support the team.
The main events of the Taste of the Caribbean competition begin today, June 23, 2019.
