Taste Adventure With Jamaica Food Tours

 

"Food tells a story with every bite and taste. Every flavor or fusion is rooted in a cultural experience that we try to give to our guests through a culinary adventure. Everything we do is a result of the passion we have for finding great tasting food." Flair had a heart-to-heart with CEO of Jamaica Food Tours and Restaurant Week Ambassador Matthew Robinson, about his history with food and how he brought this scrumptious concept to palates.

 

His love for food, he shared, started at an early age. "My grandmother had a restaurant called The Beach Barrel for over 18 years on what was Walter Fletcher beach (now Aquasol). I guess you could say the beach and food were embedded in my DNA from day one," he explained.

 

As an adult, he would document places he went to eat, drink or just explore somewhere new on the island. He began taking pictures of the food he ate, uploading them to social media. Friends would then ask about the places and the next thing they knew, they were all planning a big group trip. It was there that the concept of Jamaica Food Tours was born. "But it really developed when I was living abroad and would come down for holidays. I remember being in Lambs River thinking it's so sad that many visitors don't get to experience real Jamaican food at places that are either not known to them or the hassle of having to plan the trip along with the logistics don't allow them," he added.
