SAVE THIS POST for your next trip to the Visit Cayman Islands. ✈️ 🇰🇾
The Cayman Islands is truly the culinary capital of the Caribbean! You can enjoy everything from mouthwatering homestyle Caribbean bbq to incredible fine dining to some of
the best fried snapper and fritters by the ocean. Here’s a list of 8 restaurants (and a bakery) you need to try! Tag a foodie who needs a VaCAY with you!
1. - this family owned BBQ spot has perfected their recipes over generations! Try the ribs and all the sides, it’s fall of the bone and the tangy sweet bbq sauce is 🔥
2. is where you can get a real taste of the island seafood! Try the Escovitch fried snapper, roast mahi, fritters and all of the fresh juices!
3. is the home of Cayman’s style Detroit Pizza. You must try the oxtail pizza, it is the perfect fusion of Caribbean flavors and Detroit style pizza. It is
seriously one of the best slices I’ve ever had! (And I grew up across from Detroit!)
4. will give you a taste of the Caymankind hospitality that this island is loved for! Join them for their farm to table dinner and you will love every bite.
My favorites were the coconut ceviche and plantain focaccia!
5. Perle at ONE I GT is located in ONE GT hotel, this restaurant is perfect for a fancy night on the island! The snapper ceviche with kiwi was incredible! Get ready for
a good time!
6. is perfect for a fresh Japanese Caymanian fusion lunch! Try their juices and the cayman style beef, their delicious pumpkin callaloo dip or their island
style sushi!
7. .bakehouse is a must! Their Caribbean inspired donuts are like nothing you’ve ever tasted before. The Cassava cake (Caymanian heavy cake) donuts were
worth the trip alone! Come early, because this place is super popular!
8. Ave in is where you need to go for brunch! It’s all you can eat and drink aned you’re steps away from beautiful beaches!
Where are you heading first?

One of my good friends, Eden Hagos | Food, Travel, Culture from BLACK FOODIE™, came to Chicago earlier this summer, and we had the chance to link up for an incredible dinner at Frontier Chicago by Chef Brian Jupiter.

I’m so glad we made it happen because this weekend marks the final weekend Frontier will be open for in-house dining. After tomorrow, they’ll be transitioning to private events, full buyouts, and chef pop-ups.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience Frontier—or you’ve been meaning to go—this is your last chance to enjoy a meal in the restaurant. So many great memories have been made here over the years.

Here’s everything we tried:

🔥 Starters
• Char-grilled oysters (one of my favorites!)
• Mushroom & cheese fritters
• Fried alligator
• Beet salad

🥩 Entrées
• Crab-stuffed branzino
• Wagyu beef ribs (another favorite!)
• Lamb ribs
• Bourbon chicken

🥬 Sides
• Skillet vegetables
• Duck dirty rice
• 5-cheese mac & cheese

🍰 Desserts
• Chocolate layer cake
• Banana bread pudding

📍1072 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL

Final Weekend Hours
Friday: 4 PM – 11 PM
Saturday: 3 PM – 11 PM

Thank you, Chef Brian Jupiter, for creating a restaurant that gave Chicago so many unforgettable meals. Wishing you nothing but success in this next chapter!
