Taste of the Caribbean: Come for the food, stay for the vibes | Seattle Sounders - SoundersFC.com

SoundersFC.com: Hi, Carlene! Tell Sounders fans about yourself and your story, and how Taste of the Caribbean came to be.

Taste of the Caribbean Co-owner, Carlene Comrie: I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Biochemistry and an MBA, and was working for Philips in Global Quality Systems Compliance. My day job since 1996 has been in the medical device/biotech industry, and Taste of the Caribbean is my passion venture. I’d been visiting Seattle for work since 2010. When I travel, I seek out Jamaican food in every city. My business partner, Dwayne Blake, is institutionalized as a prolific Reggae/Dancehall DJ here in Seattle. The opportunity for a restaurant was presented to him. Seattle had no truly Jamaican restaurant at the time, and we wanted to fill that space.

We were aligned in making it not just another restaurant, but one that celebrates our culture in the most authentic way. We opened the restaurant in 2013 and I formally relocated in 2014.
