Chef Scott Popovic - Certified Angus Beef brand corporate chef

Setting our sights on Grand Cayman

Refreshment on a hot beach

Jetting off to the Cayman Islands sounds like a glamorous endeavor, but serving up impeccable meals and pleasing vacationing palates is no easy task … unless you’re in the company of Chef Scott Popovic and friends. Chef Scott participated in the Cayman Cookout again this year. The annual event is hosted by celebrity chefs Eric Ripert, José Andrés and Anthony Bourdain.

Before we dive into details of our stay in the Caymans — like our visit to the always exquisite Ortanique restaurant — we thought we’d share a few photos and give you a glimpse of this Grand Cayman adventure from the chef’s perspective.

Burgers make the world go round and while we're partial to Certified Angus Beef ® brand sandwiches, we gave Chef Spike Mendelsohn's lamb burger a big thumbs up!

Pickled Papaya is just one of the flavorful ingredients on this dish from Chef Bernard Guillas ... yum!

We have more to report on our trip to the sunny skies and brilliant blue waters of the Cayman Islands. In the coming days we’ll also take you on a quick trip to Aruba. In February, come along as we head to Miami for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival.

Winter never tasted so good!
