Hmmmm.....I'm having a hard time getting my mind wrapped around this. Tage is such an upscale place. Now, the Exec chef is off to cater in-homes and cook Tex-Mex? TEX-MEX? IMO, that is he grossest (gross-est...meaning: most gross) stuff going.

What's that about? I'm not "feeling" this change.

I'm not sure about this. I mean, he's going to be a celebrity chef where people will pay him to teach them how to make his famous dishes. Ok...but he's not THAT famous. He's USVI famous....and the USVI has never been known for it's food anyway.

Hope I don't sound too negative. I think more of Ted than what I've read about his new venture.

I have to agree. The title of "Celebrity Chef" seems a bit inflated or exaggerated, if not just a little silly. STJ is a pretty small place. Wolfgang Puck is what a celebrity chef is. Maybe "Well-known and Highly-Regarded Local Chef" might be more appropriate.

We never eat Mexican, Chinese, Italian or any other ethnic food when we're on STJ. We look for something that is in some way Caribbean. For us it's part of the experience. We look for opportunities to experience the Caribbean/West indian culture. We like to get some very local food when we're there. I like Sogo's and Sosa's a lot and we sometimes have a lunch at Hercules or one of the small cart/truck/stands around the post office and the pavilion. They somehow seem less inviting to tourists than do Sweet Plantains and Miss Lucy's or Vie's, but I think that those places have shown that tourists are interested in Caribbean food. It seems odd to me that Katilady would start emphasizing Mexican/southwest US food.

Hola, yo quiero una chimichanga.

Blu, obviously a Philly girl knows nothing about Mexican food much less Tex Mex. I will, however, excuse you if you are kind enough to join us in a big old ugly, artery cloggin' portion of nachos, double sour cream, with lots of jalapenos.

Promo, I've probbaly missed the best in Tex Mex 🙂

I know that when I travel to Texas, which is frequently, I am invited to affairs where they serve things like fried twinkies and fried snickers bars. Then we get corn dogs, nachos covered in melted cheese(is that stuff really cheese?) and other assorted artery clogging delights.

The barbeque chicken is the best. If only I could get a side of salad to go with it. I don't think there's such a thing as "salad" in Tex-Mex....unless you "make do" with your salsa.

I'm just not getting into the Katilady venture with Ted.

Do they serve Carib with any of the above mentioned culinary styles??? Hmmm....??
