""We've been educating people that Creole is not only Haiti or New Orleans," said Fabrice J. Armand, co-founder of the Creole Food Festival and a native of Haiti. "It's about diversity, inclusion, and celebrating commonalities. It's about connecting the diaspora.""
""I'm not a chef, but I've been cooking Haitian food since I was 7 years old. My favorite dish growing up was lambi with djon djon rice, and also legim with crab and seaweed.""
The Creole Food Festival arrived in Brooklyn on Sept. 27, drawing thousands to a spacious plaza beneath the Brooklyn Bridge for food, music and cultural connection. Chefs from Haiti, Venezuela, French Guiana, New Orleans and local Brooklyn kitchens showcased Creole cuisines and creativity. DJs and headliner Stacy Barthe provided musical energy as clear skies and historic Plymouth Street warehouses framed the event. The waterfront site recalled its history of spices and coffee arriving by ship. The celebration emphasized diversity and inclusion, connected the Creole diaspora, and evolved into a communal block party welcoming neighbors and visitors alike.
