 Sugarcane
Tired of shabby roti joints, Trinidadian expat
Charmaine Gumbs left her career as a law-firm account supervisor
to open Sugarcane, an upscale pan-Caribbean restaurant of
her own. Besides arranging live entertainment like the
calypso-jazz Sunday brunch, she and her partner Gaspa Rodriguez
bring delicacies like steamed-codfish salad,
rum-and-thyme-marinated stew chicken, and soursop flan to Park
Slope. And rotis—Trinidad's most renowned culinary contribution
and the best example of the island's considerable East Indian
influence—finally get the stylish setting Gumbs always thought
they deserved.
