A TASTE OF THE BAHAMAS IN CANADA

Prime Minister Philip E. Davis with Kaylandra Edgecombe, owner of The Old Nassau Restaurant in Toronto, Canada.

NASSAU, Bahamas — Prime Minister Philip E. Davis posted a collection of photos on Facebook on Friday, April 21, that I would normally repost in a Photo Essay, but I absolutely had to share them and the  wonderful narrative that accompanied them with readers of BAHAMAS CHRONICLE, which has a huge following among the Bahamian diaspora across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and, of course, The Bahamas and the wide Caribbean.

HERE’s WHAT THE PRIME MINISTER WROTE: “I recently returned from Toronto where I opened The Bahamas Consulate Office and had the opportunity to meet the inspiring Bahamian entrepreneur, Kaylandra Edgecombe. She is the owner of Old Nassau , which brings the taste of our islands to Canada.

Kaylandra’s story of determination and passion for sharing Bahamian cuisine, like cracked lobster, pea soup and dumplings, conch snacks, and guava duff, has genuinely inspired me. The Old Nassau Restaurant’s inviting atmosphere captures the essence of the Bahamas, creating a unique experience for all who visit.

I am moved by Kaylandra’s unwavering dedication to promoting Bahamian culture and cuisine in Canada. Her success as an entrepreneur abroad serves as an inspiration to us all. Wishing Kaylandra and The Old Nassau Restaurant continued growth and success!”
