    Hi Mik
    Just a little request if possible could you please ask these chefs/cooks abit about their lives and how they got to where they got to, it would be nice to hear about their journeys to what they’re doing now, which is cooking and running a business. Thank you for all you do and sharing all wonderful foods of the Islands of Jamaica. I absolutely love it and am here for all of it. Sending much love over the ocean in Australia. 🙏🏾🧡

    Everything looks so good. I am feeling a sense of intense nostalgia. On that property at Rafter’s Rest, are 9 beautiful unobstructed ocean view villas. I used to rent villa #1 back in 1994. The good old days, swimming naked on a private beach, then lunching at the restaurant.
    Now I am living overseas. Time to make plans for returning to a simpler way of life.

    I Jimmy tv. Congratulation on your son Jay showing his cooking skills. Jimmy you need to give him a channel for for him to showcase his cooking skills. It would encourage other kids his age, or younger to learn to cook. It's so good for kids to be self reliance. Your mom has been a good influence in you, and your brother's, and others life. Kudos to her. Keep Up The Good Work. Blessings.

    The one issue I have is stirring the goat with the bamboo shoot. I do understand that this may be a customary thing; however, a very dangerous choice. Look at the video and see the bamboo string peeling off. That last thing you want is bamboo stings in your food or for some customer to swallow it.
    Other than that, this video, the food, I wish I was there to taste every dish. Keep up the great work. Keep this beautiful festival alive.
