					<description><![CDATA[The economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic has bitten deep into the livelihood of restaurateurs. Under the present restrictions, tourists in Saint Lucia are not permitted to venture beyond their resorts for a dining experience, leaving restaurants reliant on the local population, many of whom are cash-strapped. So how are restaurant owners responding?

					<description><![CDATA[“If you’re 22, physically fit, and hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel as far and as wide as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and work.” The preceding are the late chef Anthony Bourdain’s words to live by. As for me, although no longer 22, I continue to benefit from a lifetime of regular exercise. Over the years I’ve discovered an unforgettable thing or two, none truer than that travel offers the best opportunities to sample new dishes prepared by the people that originally created them.]]></description>
