Pergola chef seeking to broaden the Guyanese palate

Kester Robinson

Fifteen years ago when a young Kester Robinson was crowded by peers for a little taste of what he cooked up in Central High School’s Home Economics Department, it was clear to all that he had a future in the kitchen.

Now Robinson is the award-winning chef behind The Pergola Smokehouse and Lounge, which counts a wide cross-section of society among its patrons, while furthering his mission of broadening the culinary horizons of Guyanese.
