SANTA CLARITA, Calif.,
Oct. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Princess Cruises has officially announced its third annual
Culinary Cruise Series, featuring famed Miami-based chefs Brad
Kilgore and Scott
Linquist. Sailing on Regal Princess out of
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. from
February 11 – 18, 2018 to the
Western Caribbean, these two chefs
will team up to offer guests a variety of curated culinary
experiences and demonstrations for travelers looking for an
exclusive foodie experience.
This seven-day, four-port Western Caribbean cruise will include
a selection of daily activities and adventures for cruisers to
participate in with the acclaimed chefs. Guests will be able to
participate in chef-led cooking demonstrations, cookbook signings,
Q+A sessions, experience special menus featured throughout the
ship's restaurant and bars, and learn valuable cuisine skills to
bring home with them.
Guests will also be able to explore parts of the Caribbean and Mexico alongside these chefs as each lead a
customized excursion. Noted for his Mexican cuisine, Chef Linquist
will lead the Cozumel excursion in
Mexico, while Chef Kilgore will
lead the Jamaican excursion. Other port stops include Princess Cays
Bahamas and Grand Cayman.
"Dining onboard a Princess cruise ship is a culinary journey
from the food made from scratch to the award-winning chef
partnerships we have on board," said Gordon
Ho, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Princess Cruises.
"For this unique cruise experience, Chef Kilgore and Chef Linquist
will bring their food experience —both in and out of the kitchen—to
excite and educate our guests."
Named Food & Wine's 2016 Best New Chef, Brad Kilgore launched onto Miami's culinary scene in 2015 with the
opening of Alter in Miami's
hottest new neighborhood – Wynwood. After winning countless awards
with Alter including Restaurant of the Year by Eater, he set his
sights on Downtown Miami's
Adrienne Arsht Center and opened BRAVA by Brad Kilgore inside the famed cultural
institution. Showing no signs of slowing down, Kilgore plans to
debut two new restaurants in Miami
in the next coming year. Bringing his progressive American cuisine
to Regal Princess, Kilgore will showcase some of his favorites
including Short Rib Wellington with Truffled Mushrooms and
Free-Range Chicken, with Popcorn Hollandaise.
"What an opportunity to showcase my dishes to the guests of
Regal Princess," exclaimed Chef Brad
Kilgore. "The setting provides an opportunity to share my
experience, my style of cooking, and my passion for food in a very
intimate way."
Joining Chef Brad Kilgore will be
fellow Miami-based Chef
Scott Linquist. Linquist, founder of
the wildly successful Coyo Taco located in Miami's buzzing Brickell Financial District,
as well as famed Wynwood arts district, will bring his upscale
Mexican flair to the seven-day excursion featuring some of his most
unique taco creations such as Coyo's charred octopus tacos with
salsa veracruzana and pickled jalapeños. Chef Linquist plans to
expand the success of Coyo Taco with new locations coming in
Miami Beach, West Palm Beach and Panama.
"I am proud to represent the expanding Miami food scene to the Princess Cruises
guest," said Chef Scott Linquist. "I
love cooking, teaching and interacting with passionate food
lovers."
Adding a touch of sweetness to this cruise will be one of
Princess Cruises culinary partners, Norman
Love, owner of Norman Love Confections, based in
Fort Myers, FL. Trained in
France, and named the Inaugural
Inductee into the Chocolatier Hall of Fame by Dessert Professional
