Members
of the
UTOPIA
PAN SOUL
fraternity
on hand
for the
Pan Jazz
Brunch
Brooklyn,
New York
- It’s 90
degrees in
the shade in
Brooklyn,
New York on
a fantastic
Sunday on
the dawn of
Summer.
And the Pan
Jazz Brunch hosted by
Utopia Pan
Soul: the
Next
Generation is the
only one place to be
on this
afternoon.
It is no
secret that
when it
comes to
progressive
steelband
initiatives,
Utopia Pan
Soul is
usually at
the
forefront. So it was no surprise
that by a little
after the noon
hour,
folks had
already
begun to
line up,
looking
forward to
both
sampling the
cuisine and
enjoying the
music.
Sample
of
Sunday’s delicious culinary
fare
available
to
choose
from
Utopia Pan
Soul is
known for
its music
accomplishments; however
the
organization
is also
famous for
its culinary
masterpieces
at its
events. Armed with a
team of
family,
friends and
members who
are versed
in the
culinary
arts - there
was no
shortage of
delicious
dishes to
assuage your
appetite.
Fry bakes,
shark,
codfish,
macaroni and
cheese,
Spanish
rice, pelau,
spaghetti,
casserole,
stew
chicken, BBQ
chicken, BBQ
pork,
callaloo,
string beans
and coconut
bakes - were
all on the
menu.
Enjoying
Utopia
Pan
Soul’s
culinary
fare
For some, the
steelpan is
only a
musical
instrument
and will not
ever be more
than that.
But to the
vast
majority of
steelpan
music fans,
the word
“pan”
represents a
culture, a
community, a
fraternity
and
moreover -
it
represents family.
No where is
this better
demonstrated
than within
Utopia Pan
Soul: The
Next
Generation.
Serving
up the
Caribbean
dishes
The Utopia
Pan Soul Pan Jazz
Brunch again
showcases
another
successful
venture
illustrating
that the
music group
is much
more than a
steelpan
organization;
it is indeed a
valued
member of
the New York
community.
Like all
successful
enterprises,
Utopia Pan
Soul is
blessed with
a great
support
team.
Today’s
cooks are
Ann,
Lynette, Gemma,
Takiyah,
Tone’s mom
and Jocelyn.
While
chatting
with When
Steel Talks,
the events
coordinator
apologized
in advance
for anyone
forgotten!

Soul’s
‘pan’
family
One would
not be
surprised to
see the
likes of the Food
Channel
doing a
special at
the next
Utopia Pan
Soul
culinary
event. Beyond the
great music
associated
with the
steelpan
movement, the food
is a big part
of the
culture -
the
incredible
dishes and
innovativeness.
There are
some real
great
food and
steelpan
stories here
for another
time.
Can’t write
anymore, the
food’s
calling
me...
