Soup judges wanted to help brothers and sisters

(CNS): A local charity is asking the community to come out and sample a range of soups this weekend and judge the quality as part of a fund raising effort. On Saturday 5 February, Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) will be at the Camana Bay Arts and Recreation Centre, from noon to 6:00 pm for their third annual Soup-er Bowl. Tickets cost $25 a soup tasters will be able to try soups from Cayman’s finest restaurants in the search for the best soup on island. Last year’s top award went to Guy Harvey’s for its Lobster Veloute’, while the first and second runner-up places were claimed respectively by The Ritz Carlton’s 7 Prime Cuts & Sunsets’ Lentilicious Soup and The Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa’s Crab & Roasted Corn Chowder. Rum Point Restaurant took the most original soup award for their cassava and coconut combination.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Fundraising Chair Hemant Balgobin explains that the Soup-er Bowl is win-win for everyone. “It raises much needed funds for our mentoring programmes and participating restaurants get a chance to reach out to potential new customers. Event supporters eat all the soup they want for $25 and get a chance to win prizes from our raffle. It’s simply a great family event!”
