Vaterstetten Grill Promotional Invite
This was the first year when friends and locals were invited to see how T&T food and culture would be accepted.
Needless to say it was a success and sparked an annual following which eventually evolved into the founding of the TTEA. The members continued in their attempts and we thank every 'day one' patron who has helped us to shape and in our evolution to the entity that we are and still aspire to be.
Nürnburg Afro-Caribbean Festival
Giving a taste of Trinidad to Nürnburg
After initially getting praise from locals and having represented in various events, we decided to take the show on the road and evaluate in an afro-Caribbean festival that is held annually in Germany.
Our Caribbean taste stood out from those of the other nationalities that participated and needless to say, we were very successful in our endeavours.
Europeans love the cuisine.
