Hiphop superstar Joseph “Fat Joe” Cartagena was in St. Maarten from July 16 to July 19 to perform at Club 1-Eleven and to shoot a video special at various locations on the island showcasing what makes St. Maarten such a unique tourist destination.
He was accompanied by his personal chef, Mark. They were both invited to Temptation Restaurant by award winning chef Dino Jagtiani where they “cooked up a storm.” Jagtiani said he was pleasantly surprised by Fat Joe’s “culinary expertise.” The video footage will feature hip-hop’s first and only professionally-trained gourmet chef, on a mission around the Caribbean to find the best restaurants and the most authentic island dishes. Chef Mark and Fat Joe will show places on the island to dine, beaches, shopping, nightlife, the local culture and how to travel while being hip at the same time.
The special will run for 30 minutes. “His presence on St. Maarten is in itself an endorsement of our product and the television special he shot with his personal chef Mark will further boost our image as the Gastronomic Capital of the Caribbean,” Dest added. No date has been established for the release of the video.
