Antigua & Barbuda -- Aug. 26, 2009 --  Introducing the 2nd Annual Antigua & Barbuda - Food & Drink Industry Party. 5th December 2009. This will be an exclusive event highlighting the best food and drink on the island. The event will be a fun, entertaining and a mouth-watering occasion, bringing together under one roof a Who’s Who in the food & drink industry - creating a premier opportunity to meet, greet, wine and dine.

An important thrust of the event will be to support and provide exposure for Team A&B (the National Culinary Team) and up and coming talents training within the industry.The entire event will be culinary-themed and feature extraordinary cooking skills. Under the direction of some of the islands top chefs, hands-on experience and mentoring will be provided to up and coming stars, with the focus on promoting ‘Fresh Talent’. They will prepare and present an exciting range of signature dishes and canapés for guests to sample during the party.

During the event, there will be a series of short food and drink demonstrations, light-hearted party games, wine and cocktail tasting and promotional booths. Guests will also be musically and visually entertained throughout the evening. This year’s Charity Auction proceeds will go towards supporting Team A&B as they use their culinary expertise to promote Antigua & Barbuda as a premier destination through regional and international culinary competitions.
