Island Alchemy: A Tribute to Caribbean Cocktails & Cuisine
Dinner hosted by Paul Carmichael, Tristen Epps-Long, and Pepper Stashek

Paul Carmichael and rising star Tristen Epps-Long bring their Afro-Caribbean culinary DNA to Primrose for a dinner that moves the way island cooking does — bold, layered, and deeply rooted. Carmichael, whose Kabawa was just named #1 on The New York Times 100 Best Restaurants in NYC list and is a James Beard Award semifinalist® for Best New Restaurant, sets the tone alongside Epps-Long’s vibrant, modern perspective.

Pepper Stashek matches every course with rum-forward tropical cocktails that feel less like pairings and more like the drinks were always meant to be there. Warm, vibrant, and completely alive. Friday night never tasted like this.
