This year’s hottest restaurant openings are shaping up to run the gamut from fine dining to counter service and everything in between.
But which chefs will really shake things up this season and in the year ahead? Who’s been quietly flying under the radar but deserves your full attention? Meet the 15 chefs to watch right now.
On national Heroes day, we are proud of Vincentian born Rawlston Williams now living in Brooklyn Newyork, he is now among the top 15 rising chefs to watch right now.
Rawlston Williams almost became a minister, but it wasn’t quite the right fit. Still, the idea of sermons stuck with him. “Whatever people are into, that’s their sermon,” he says.
For Williams, that is food inspired by the Caribbean flavours he grew up within Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, reimagined in dishes like a braised lamb shank cooked with allspice, mustard seeds, juniper berries, a bay leaf, ginger, cinnamon and caramel.
Later this year, he will bring those flavours to a second restaurant in Brooklyn’s Navy Yard.
Know before you go: The restaurant closes one hour before sunset on Fridays and reopens on Sundays, so plan accordingly.
There’s also no alcohol; order a sorrel or mauby iced tea, and you won’t miss it. (Original publication @Tasting table)
