Freeport, Grand Bahama – Bahamian Chef Tim Tibbitts of Flying Fish in Freeport has been asked to join celebrity chef Anthony Lamas for Chef Lamas\u2019 sustainable seafood event at the legendary James Beard House in New York City.\u00a0 The event will be held on July 10th, Bahamian Independence Day.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am humbled and incredibly proud of this invitation, and even more proud to bring some good publicity to the island of Grand Bahama,\u201d said Chef Tim, Owner and chef at Flying Fish.
\nTibbitts has had quite a year this year being named one of the top 25 chefs of the Caribbean by Caribbean Journal magazine earlier this year and just this week Flying Fish became the first restaurant in Grand Bahama\u2019s history to earn a 4 Diamond Rating from AAA.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is such an amazing opportunity to cook at James Beard House and just as amazing to cook with Chef Lamas,\u201d said Tibbitts. \u201cfor Anthony to offer the invitation was beyond generous.\u00a0 We will have a really fun time and I will proudly wear my Bahamian flag jacket in the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tibbitts is happy to see the recognition from AAA as well.\u00a0 More than 30,000 restaurants are rated by AAA annually in North America and the Caribbean and less than 2.5% earn the 4 Diamond rating.
\n\u201cThe AAA rating is a testament to our whole team and how hard they work for excellence every day.\u00a0 There are dozens of Michelin starred properties in the 4 Diamond rating group.\u00a0 We are humbled to be included with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are currently less than 30 restaurants in the entire Caribbean region with a 4 Diamond rating from AAA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
