We all have a soft spot for the types of foods we grew up eating, but for chef Ron Duprat, the foods of his native Haiti and the greater Caribbean region are what he considers exceptional cuisine.
"People think Haitian food today is rice and beans," Duprat says, "but Caribbean food alone, [it's] probably the best food in the whole world [because] we're mixing — we're mixing the Caribbean with African food, we make the Afro Caribbean. This is some of the best food in the world, but I don't think people understand. They can go to Italy to eat spaghetti and meatball, they can go to France to eat French food, they can do the same thing to go to the Caribbean. ... I think Haitian, Caribbean, Afro Caribbean food is underappreciated because people don't know much about it. There's so much more to talk about it. [I wish] I can go in detail to tell the whole world, but you can buy a plane ticket to have some of the best food in Haiti."
And what dishes does the chef think best represent his native country's cooking? Again he could not help but mention many. "Oh, there's so much. There's griot, which is fried pork, double-fried pork. There's the Diri Djon Djon. I made it on 'The View,' I made it with Whoopi Goldberg! ... And there's the fried plantain, and there's legume — our legume is the best in the whole world because it's all vegetables."
