RICE AN' PEAS SHOWDOWN: THE GRUDGE MATCH
Our First Rice An' Peas Showdown (Caribbean Street Food Festival, September 2024), Jamaica topped Trinidad and Tobago. Trini native Lovina Smith was not amused. So, she 's taking on the winner from that match, chef Nicholas Douglas, in this Grudge Match.
She says she’s just an ordinary cook who wants to reclaim the honor of Trinidad & Tobago.
He says, 'Bring it!'
