Island Wanderlust

Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could all fly to the Cayman Islands to join Eric Ripert, José Andrés, Anthony Bourdain and more for a weekend full of food porn? The Cayman Cookout lures you in like so: “Join Chef Eric Ripert for a weekend celebrating food, wine and the natural beauty of the Caribbean at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. An incomparable roster of world famous chefs, wine experts and spirits blenders will offer tastings, demonstrations, tours and dinners that celebrate the barefoot elegance that only the Cayman Islands can deliver.”

Here is a photo I stole from Eric Ripert’s Facebook page because I like to live vicariously through people. Sigh.And how badass is José Andrés? Quite the entrance to the beach before whipping up some paella, sangria and grilled shrimp and oysters:
