Welcome to Cayman Cookout and Culinary Month in the Cayman
Islands,

We welcome world renowned chefs such as Eric Ripert, Anthony
Bourdain, Jose Andres, Scott Popovic and others who will grace us with their
multiple talents in all that is cuisine and epicurean.

Many of these top chefs have been to our shores before and
locals as well as visitors will delight in experiencing, once again, all that
is gastronomical excellence in their presence.

What’s unique about this culinary adventure is that we are
able to attract lots of top cooking talent; not just one chef de jour.

These chefs have passed the test of time. They are celebs
extraordinaire and to have them on our shores is more than just a feather in
our hat.

They also bring with them a faithful following, which means
that our stayover tourism numbers should increase this month.

The Cookout and Culinary Month continue to make the Cayman
Islands an attractive place for people to be following our strong tourism
numbers during the Christmas season.

What we need to do is to continue to draw on Cookout and
Culinary month each year and, in addition, convince our visitors that every day
is a perfect culinary month in the Cayman Islands, which make us a great place
to visit and indulge at all times.

There’s lots to appreciate in the Cayman Islands and food is
one of our forte’s. Put that on the backdrop of sun, sand and sea and you have
the perfect combination for a perfect month to celebrate all that is Cayman.

Get your tickets now through Caymanboxoffice.com or through
other venues such as the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman or the Department of
Tourism and indulge.

You don’t have to give up your New Year’s resolution to
diet, just resolve to enjoy.
