"Calypso Rose Kitchen is set to open at Emeryville’s Public Market on June 30, showcasing dishes inspired by Chef Verna McGowan's Caribbean and Latin home cooking influences. The menu includes oxtail stew, Guyanese beef patties, Puerto Rican dishes like sopa de pollo and pernil, shrimp and chicken curry, and Jamaican brown stew chicken. McGowan aims to provide an experience of Caribbean cuisine beyond the typical jerk chicken, reflecting her personal food journey and memories." - Dianne de Guzman
