“Everyone loves a good food story. It can educate, entertain and enchant us about our culture and heritage. When it comes to our Antiguan and Barbudan cuisine, hearing these stories helps to elevate a meal from merely fulfilling a physiological need to a memorable experience,” said Dawn Grant of Black Economics, an attendee at the event.
