If the promise of bold flavours drew in attendees, the stylish set certainly understood the assignment. Jamaica Food and Drink Festival’s Decade 2.0, held at Sabina Park in Kingston last Friday, presented more than 35 inventive creations across the festival’s signature stations — Picante, Crisp, Pork Palooza, and Chopstix — each offering a distinct exploration of global flavours interpreted through a contemporary culinary lens.

Between sampling thoughtfully composed dishes and cocktails from the evening’s premium bars, the crowd moved effortlessly through the venue in looks that reflected both the relaxed food festival feel and the elevated ambience of the event.
