Roland is running a family business. The head chef is his brother, Pascal who cooks up the gourmet cuisine. Every now and again his dad helps out as another cook in the kitchen. Roland, a native of the Caribbean island Antigua, says a common misconception is that all West Indian cooking is Jamaican. The food varies from island to island.
Some islands have a French influence.
He also says there's more to the Caribbean than just the cooking. If you're ever at the Grill on a Friday or Saturday night, you'll know what he's talking about. After the restaurant is over, we turn on the bright lights and we party. In addition to filling people's bellies, the hopeful entrepreneur wants to fill their souls with the richness of his culture, which also includes a variety of music. He may have his work cut out for him here in the south.
