U pon entering (he new restaurant, guests are greeted by the tem pting scents o f fresh food being prepared and a friendly sm ile by D eeyann. d au g h ter o f o w n er Sam R am jattan. or one o f the m any fam ily m em bers w ho are alw ays on hand to pilch in. "M y four-year-old nephew , w ho peels g arlic and helps w ith clearing tables, know s the custom ers better than m e." jo k e s Sam . "T h e re 's alw ays a lot o f com edy in the back, w hich spreads to o u r custom ers. We alw ays have a good tim e." W ith an open concept seating area that is open to sunlight from the floor to ceiling w indow s, w icker chairs, fresh plants and a beautiful oceanic m ural on the w all, y o u 'll feel like y o u 're sitting on the beach, en joy ing fresh C aribbean food. Sam . w ho has over 18 years in the food and b ever age industry, decided to open the restaurant after a recent trip to T rinidad ith her family. T here, she found countless people enjoying food that could be prepared at th eir ow n hom e - and people w ere paying for it! "L iving in T rinidad w hen I w as younger, my m om was alw ays cooking som ething. Eventually. I was able to taste som ething and go hom e and be able to m ake it m yself." she says. "D uring our trip, we saw lines o f people w aiting for dishes that I have been preparing at hom e for years. The idea was that you could take an y thing there and sell it." T hat idea, o f preparing any native dish and selling it to custom ers, has becom e the backbone o f Scotch B onnet's eclectic and flexible m enu. Not only do they have a regular m enu, but with 24 hours notice, Sam . along with mom Sheila, is able to prepare specific m eals according to a cu sto m er's request. "If people have had a C aribbean dish - I can m ake it. We ask for a d ay 's notice so that everything is fresh." she says, adding. "A lot o f the recipes we use are n 't even w ritten dow n - th e y 're all from m em ory." To ensure every thing on the m enu is o f the highest quality and freshness. Sam d o esn 't keep anything in the freezer, but orders on an as needed basis. T he authentic C aribbean m enu includes such deli cious offerings as: C urried C hick Peas - Curry. O nion. G alic. T om ato. Fresh T h y m e. P arsley and S cotch Bonnet ser\ ed w ith your choice o f Rice or Roti: C urried G oat - Curry. Fresh Herbs. T om atoes. Parsley. O nion.
