As the nation celebrates Food Month and prepares for Food Week, Usain Bolt’s Tracks & Records unveiled its third annual Chef’s Table preview menu at The Mezzanine section of the restaurant at The Marketplace on Constant Spring Road last Wednesday. The event also marked the launch of Food Week, scheduled for November 23 to 30.
Guided by the theme ‘Elevated Flavours: A Gourmet Journey’, the evening’s menu featured a selection of appetisers, including cream of red peas soup and lobster bruschetta. The main course offerings included Jamaican-spiced stewed lamb chops with beans, succulent garlic butter tenderloin steak, grilled salmon in coconut curry sauce, Cajun-stuffed chicken breast, and creamy jerk sausage and chicken linguine Alfredo.
The dessert line -up included raspberry pistachio cheesecake and apple bread pudding with ice cream.
Annually, Usain Bolt’s Tracks & Records hosts Food Week, where patrons can sample a specially curated gourmet menu that changes each year. This exclusive offering is available only during the period.
In an interview with Food, Petagay Gentles, group marketing manager, said this gourmet preview for the once-a-year experience received amazing feedback from patrons.
“We don’t usually start until November 23, but we wanted persons to taste and have one-on-one conversation with the head chef, Trishauna McMaine. We wanted patrons to have a space to taste the new menu and to have an intimate experience, to also feel and share the menu with their friends.”
She added: “We wanted persons to give us their feedback in case we needed to do changes. The menu was well received by our patrons at the Chef’s Table. They enjoyed the meals. They gave us great feedback, so we are not just sure from an internal perspective, but we’re also sure from an external perspective of how it will be for Food Week. It will be an awesome experience.”
