The Art of the Burger, Eye-Popping paintings and Showing the Biz

The weekend proved a feast for the eyes and the palate, with some mental stimulation thrown in (via the Business Expo) that took us from Deli Works in Liguanea to Manor Park and to the wyndham in new Kingston.
At Deli Works, a somewhat confusing buffet greeted us, but we were soon distracted by the burger menu and decided "Why Not?"
service a little iffy at first, but our quick-thinking attendant ate some humble pie and apologized, leaving us in a better frae of mind to enjoy the meal

And boy, did we enjoy. The onion rings were just the curtain-raiser; not great, but good enough to feed our anticipation. The flan - made fresh in store - took things up a notch, buttery smooth, well-balanced (just the right amount of egg to sugar) and very delicious.

But then, came the piece (or pieces in this case) de resistance. For me, the blue cheese  for her, the Mushroom Swiss The taste?? heaven on earth.

Later that night even more gastronomic delights, buttressed by a cool art show, the debut solo exhibition of teen sensation (18) Laura anne Fung at the salubrious Grosvenor Galleries at the top of Manor Park.

Former Digicel CEO David Hall (shown here with the artist) spoke to the need to celebrate the excellence of Jamaicans in all spheres, recalling the early exploits of one Usain Bolt, and declaring that Fung's energy and talent   would take her to international renown on a similar level.
And, to go with the colour riot, there was absolutely mouthwatering fare on two fronts: first, cheese poppers, veggie spring rolls and jerk chicken from caterer extraordinaire Lorraine Fung(the artist's aunt, how fortunate for us), and then some sweet treats, including some positively habit-forming brownies from Polly Ho.

Come Sunday, the future and present mavens of the Young Entrepreneurs Association united to stage the Entrepreneurs Expo at the Wyndham Kingston. Though service providers dominated, there were manufacturers, such as wrought iron masters Bellindo, makers of the chair and table shown. The Expo is the opening salvo in a week of activities, culminating in a Tribute Ball on Friday evening.

the Wyndham was the scene of the kick-off of Entrepreneurs Week, hosted by the Young Entrepreneurs Association
