Acclaimed Chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph and his partners of the Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group arrived in Guyana on Tuesday night and began sampling local culinary fare. During a meet and greet with the media and tourism organisations on Wednesday morning, they shared their excitement over hitting the streets of Georgetown and savouring its foods.
The culinary adventure is a prelude to the opening of the group’s sixth restaurant, Canje, in September. Named for Guyana’s national bird, the Canje Pheasant, it will be Emmer & Rye’s first Caribbean restaurant in Austin, Texas, USA. The visit to Guyana will inspire its flavours. Their other restaurants are Emmer & Rye, Hestia, Henbit, TLV and Kalimotxo.
