Chef Jamar Whittaker
one-of-a-kind pop-up master chef, not a regular chef — luxury events king of Toronto
"I take the island into rooms the island has never been."
Chef Jamar Whittaker is a Barbados-born, Toronto-based chef with twenty years of culinary mastery. He is the founder of Caribbean Cuisine Connection, taking Barbadian island-to-table cuisine from intimate pop-ups to full gala-scale execution.
The new age chef is here.
