DAY 2: 6-Course Celebrating Trinidad Dinner Series
Spanking new as of April 2019, this fun eatery on H Street NE with its funky beach cottage look drives home the verve and excitement of Caribbean cooking. Chef Peter Prime was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, graduated from the French Culinary Institute in New York, and delighted Washingtonian taste buds with his ethnic dishes at Spark at Old Engine 12. At this new restaurant, which he owns with his sister Jeanine, he brings classical cooking techniques to the rich cuisine of his homeland, with its diverse influences from Africa, India, Europe, and East Asia. You’ll find an array of surprising dishes here, including jerk wings, geera pork, pepperpot, macaroni pie, and smoked coconut ice cream. Just this past June, Eater D.C. named Cane one of the 15 Hottest Restaurants in town, and the Washington Post said, “Prime is off to a stirring start.” We will be taking over the restaurant for this event, and Chef Prime will be on hand to address your questions and tell you everything you ever wanted to know about Caribbean cooking.

A native of Trinidad and Tobago, and graduate of NYC's prestigious French Culinary Institute, Chef Prime honed his craft in a plethora of top D.C. restaurants including Equinox, the Hillstone Restaurant Group, and Citronelle in Georgetown, before striking out on his own, first with Spark, then Cane, and now Bammy's. He won Eater DC's "Chef of the Year" Award in 2019, and was named a Semi-Finalist for James Beard's "Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic" Award this year ('22).
