Byron Talbott's Bermuda Culinary Adventure: Sustainable Farming

Vlogger Byron Talbott heads to Bermuda with his wife for an unforgettable getaway, exploring the culture, food and atmosphere of the Jewel of the Atlantic. http://www.gotobermuda.com/

What he found was positively inspiring. The couple settles into the beautiful Rosewood Tucker’s Point, one of the island’s most scenic and luxurious resorts. Then they head out to meet with Tom Wadson, a local farmer who owns Wadson’s Farm. The farm is dedicated to sustainable farming, humane livestock harvesting and quality agricultural techniques. Byron was impressed with Tom’s “fiercely Bermudian” sensibility –“he’s really involved with the community and making sure that he represents Bermuda as best as he can.” Next, Byron and his wife went to the Honey Bee House, where Randolph Furber taught them pretty much everything you can know about honeybees. Did you know? One-third of everything you eat is the direct or indirect result of bee pollination. After their crash course in all things honey, the couple took a cruise aboard the Sanctuary out on Bermuda’s famous turquoise waters and a three-course, Bermudian-inspired lunch. Chef Samantha Crue dazzled them with a bottle of champagne and some “insanely delicious” fish cakes, a very cool twist on a Caesar Salad, and for dessert a hibiscus jam with vanilla Panna Cotta. Byron’s final culinary adventure took him to the Reefs Resort where he met up with Chef Doug Sisk. Using locally sourced ingredients, Doug created a fun take on risotto and made chicken two ways. Passion, connecting to your community, doing what you love and doing it well – that’s what Byron found on his first day in Bermuda.
