“Absolutely no visit to Barbados is complete without a trip to Chefette,” commented Eusi Skeete, US Director at BTMI, “so we are excited to have partnered with this iconic Bajan brand as well as JetBlue, who continues to be one of our most valuable partners in bringing the east coast to Barbados, as well as a bit of Barbados, to the east coast via experiences like this one.”
“This is the first time that Chefette will officially leave Barbados’ shores, so it is quite a significant event and we are happy to be a part of this moment,” added Skeete.

His words were echoed by Debbie Oderson, a proud Bajan who endured a lengthy wait for her Chefette but enjoyed it as it allowed her to share details with fellow guests about her homeland that’s known as the culinary capital of the Caribbean.
