Tomorrow morning at this time hopefully I should be on my way to Maracas to experience the premiere of
A.M. Premium Breakfast All Inclusive. I wanted to know some more about the event so I asked some questions of one of the organizers, here we go!
Who
are the people behind A.M. Premium and is your committee also affiliated with
the Carnival fete C’est la Vie?
A.M. Premium is a joint effort by 2
long-time close girlfriends who have partied together for many years, whose
first names happen to start with the letters “A” and “M”. It is only associated with C’est La Vie in
that we were both on its committee, but were encouraged to try something of our
own.
Why
a Breakfast Fete outside of the Carnival season? What prompted the idea?
The idea was not to host a breakfast
party outside of the Carnival season. Rather, it was that we wanted to host our
family and friends to wake up, have a shower, get dressed and “come over and
have breakfast”. When we had done the
list, it was so long as we had included friends old and new, and so the idea
was born.
When
we hear the description "Premium All Inclusive Breakfast Fete", what
can patrons expect? What is on the menu, what is on the drinks list and who are
the DJ’s?
Premium for us means having the best of
the best. The menu consists of items
that are traditional, such as omelettes and pancakes. However, we include local dishes like fried
bakes n saltfish, sada roti with tomato choka or baigan choka. Of course we know Trinis love doubles in the
morning and the health conscious like a little fruit to start the day. Because we are going til noon and are aware
of the alcohol consumption, we have included corn soup and pumpkin soup to warm
you up before you leave.
The drinks will feature Johnny Walker,
Grey Goose, Single Barrel Rum, Café and Silver Patron and much more. Also we
will be introducing our signature morning cocktail called “Mawnin”….look out
for it!!!
The DJ’s include the classic DJ CIN,
followed by Slaughter, DJ Dane and Hollywood Sachy and of course, Private Ryan.
The final premium element is our friends
who we will get to eat, drink, listen to some music and catch up with in an
atmosphere of enjoyment and revelry.
Where
is the venue for A.M. Premium and why was it chosen?
The venue is Bayview Bar on the North
Coast Road on the way to Maracas Bay. It
was selected primarily because of its view and crisp morning air.
What
are the chances that A.M. Premium will be on the calendar for Carnival next
year?
Hmm, we’re not sure yet, but let’s wait
and see.
