New venue, same awesome vibe, but with a Serengeti twist!

The 26th staging of the Jamaica Observer Table Talk Food Awards was one for the books, with Shikima Events and Concierge Managing Director Shikima Hinds transforming the grounds of King’s House into a dramatic, textural landscape where earthy neutrals echoed the vibrancy of African sunsets, adding a layer of sophistication to Jamaica’s premier culinary event.

With hundreds in attendance, the sights and scenes were endless.
