“It’s a great honor to be the first ‘Yu di Korsou’ who will fill the shoes of the Curaçao Culinary team manager and to fully represent our dushi island at the Taste of the Caribbean in Miami from June 6th till June 10th” says Carlos Anthony.
Carlos Anthony started his Curaçao culinary journey in the year 2010 where he won the title Curaçao Senior Chef of the year, during this year the Curaçao Culinary team won bronze at the Taste of the Caribbean in Puerto Rico.

Being able to always learn something new, to meet new people, the willingness to win over and over again and the opportunity to be a ‘bon yu di Korsou’ by representing our island abroad is Carlos Anthony’s driving force and motivation every time. This same motivation is what Carlos wants to transmit to the participants for the Curaçao Culinary Competitions. “Participating at the Curaçao Culinary Competitions is a great opportunity to upgrade your CV, a fun way to learn new things, to represent Curaçao and to better yourself as a Senior Chef, Junior Chef, Pastry Chef and Bartender’’ says Carlos Anthony.
