Crop Over 2017: Booze Cruise: Tiny Bubbles Review

Q the Cruzan Foodie - August 18, 2017

Fete Rating (On a scale of 1-5): 2.5 It hurts my heart to give Booze Cruise: Tiny Bubbles this rating but this year’s event fell short in a number of ways. It had absolutely nothing to do with torrential downpour that preceded the event. The bulk of my frustration came from my high expectations, their poor communication and my hunger. This fete was spoken so …

Crop Over 2017: Caesar’s Army A.M.Bush BIM

Q the Cruzan Foodie - August 17, 2017

Fete Rating (On a scale of 1-5): 5 Caesar’s Army A.M.Bush BIM – you were absolutely epic! I have been a #Roman since A.M.Bush 2012 debut for Trinidad Carnival.

If you’ve been following me on social media (do that here, here and here), you probably know by now that I have yet to meet a Caribbean carnival I didn’t like. It’s …

Jamaica Carnival: PANDEMONIUM!!!

Q the Cruzan Foodie - April 30, 2014

Jamaica Carnival was truly a one-of-a-kind experience! You really can’t compare it to other carnivals as it has its own unique twist with its location, party setup, daily activities & road experience. To start off my chronicle of the event, I attended Pandemonium on Thursday April 25th which featured the soca extraordinaire, Mr. Machel Montano! With special guests such as Patrice Roberts, Shaggy & Mr. …
