Moving to 9 Mile - LostBeachBum - 07-26-2015
Hi everyone,
I'm back with some exciting news. While recently working on a project in Florida I was fortunate to hang out with Bob Marley's brother. After a few days of cooking for him and his family, I was offered a contract at 9 Mile. Part of my job is to "rescue" the restaurant. Train staff, teach hygienic practices, create recipes, implement SOP. Basically get the visitors excited about the food and increase sales. I'll also be collaborating on a Jamaican cookbook as well as finishing my own fabulous cannabis cookbook along with a few other projects. There is a line of Marley sauces and rubs that was recently launched. I will be creating recipes that incorporate these new products for a series of instructional cooking videos which an online marketing campaign will be based around. Very exciting stuff!
I have some fun plans for the place including the construction of a large rotisserie and offset smoker in courtyard to get people excited as soon as they get off the buses. I'm bringing some toys to make the bar/restaurant more fun and creative. Anyone up for sous vide lobster tail or an authentic creme brulee? The excitement is building and I can hardly wait. The contract starts the beginning of the month. So in a few days I'm flying down to practice some recipes in Westmoreland with my friends and get back into the Jamaican vibe. Then off to 9 Mile! Just wanted to share the good news. If you want to try some of the best food on the island, stop by 9 Mile in the next few months. My new website is almost ready so I'll be sure to keep it updated along with my instagram and 9 Mile's Facebook page.
Bless up!

I would encourage you to take the tour with Capt Crazy a time or two. And congrats, the food setup their is quite weak and uneventful. The bar needs some help too.......

Thank you all. It's very exciting, I'm leaving tomorrow and have never felt this type of anxiousness before a trip. I'm sure Captain Crazy and I will become good friends. It's been 10 years since I've been to 9 Mile so interested to see what it's become and what I can do to help.
