One of the world’s most treasured celebrations of food and wine returns in January 2021 in the Cayman Islands, the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean. Due to the unforeseen events of the ongoing year, the event will adapt in order to evolve and keep the beloved event tradition alive and will host a celebration that will include events for Cayman Islands residents and fully virtual or hybrid events for US guests.

The innovative approach will present a roster mainly focused on local chefs and experts and the culinary delights of the Cayman Islands while we look forward to welcome back international chefs in 2022.

A Year To Give Thanks and Give Back

With a renewed appreciation for our local community, Cayman Cookout 2021 will highlight a roster of all Cayman Islands-based chefs, many who have been part of the beloved event in the past. We are incredibly proud to show case the immense talent and expertise in the local community and to celebrate through culinary art a year that has been difficult for all.

In addition, Cayman Cookout will benefit Cayman Food Bank this year, the first and only centralized food bank in Grand Cayman. The local organization currently provides meals for about 400 people per week and currently the main source of goods for the organization are local grocery stores, restaurants and distributors.

We are thrilled to come together in 2021 as a community through our shared values and love of food and wine.
