| The
Saint Lucia Hotels and Tourism Association and sponsors
formally congratulated St. Lucia’s culinary team
who represented the island in Miami at the Taste
of the Caribbean 2005 Culinary competition for their
success. The silver medallists were led by Team
Manager Chef Boo Bergstrom of the Windjammer Hotel.
Executive
Vice President of the SLHTA Mr. Terence Gustave
said the efforts of the eight –man team help to
differentiate St Lucia as a tourism destination.
The SLHTA official says the strong showing by
the local chefs is proof of the island’s drive
to enhance the visitor experience. “Within our
tourism product you need a variety of offerings”
Gustave said. “We know visitors from Europe in
particular take great delight in sampling the
local dishes different destinations have to offer.
Our culinary expertise - using our local products
– is something that we have to work on. We are
doing just that with our team’s participation
in these competitions.” Team Manager Chef Bobo
Bergstrom says he is extremely proud of St. Lucia’s
performance because over the years, the “Taste
of the Caribbean Competition” has become very
challenging.
Participating in the culinary
competition is a very expensive undertaking. The
winning team of chefs is pleased to be the recipients
of support from the private sector. The team comprised
Gilroy Samuel – pastry chef of the Windjammer
hotel, Fabian Vigee of the Jalousie Plantation,
Elton Ambrose of the Rendevous Hotel, Marvin Alcindor
of the Windjammer Landing and Barkus Henry- of
Sandals Grande. St. Martin emerged as the overall
winner of the Taste Caribbean Culinary Competition
2005.

Newly opened restaurant by Bobo
Bergstrom who used to run Dragonfly at Windjammer
Landing. The Edge is a lovely restaurant by the
waters edge at Rodney Bay. It is not cheap but
you get what you pay for. Good innovative menu
and wine list. Bobo is opening a Sushi Bar soon.
Wonderful tuna and great starters.

What a wonderful, complete dining
experience...perfect location, excellent service,
exquisite food beautifully presented and professional,
friendly staff.The selection of fresh fish, markedly
the tuna and red snapper, were the best I have
tasted, cooked to perfection with a delightful
fusion of flavours.Bobo's visits to the diners
tables added a personal touch and I wish the restaurant
and staff every success and thank them all for
a truly memorable experience. I cannot recommend
The Edge highly enough.
