Carlton Melbourne
Chef Carlton Melbourne is the founder of Island Spiced Foods and chef/owner of
Island Grill Caribbean Restaurant in Ottawa. After accumulating over 20 years of
international culinary experience, Chef Melbourne settled here and worked in the
city’s best restaurants before striking out on his own. As a boy growing up in Jamaica,
Chef Carlton was introduced to hot sauces and spicy food at an early age. Having
become an avid hot sauce consumer, he, one day, ran out of his commercially made sauce
and decided to make a batch of his own. He shared it with family and friends, the
feedback was tremendous and his passion for the flavours and ingredients of the islands
was born. Chef Carlton is an expert in making the incredible sauces and spice rubs
which are used at his restaurant, where he prides himself on his attention to detail and
top-notch customer service.

des renseignements utiles sur les régions productrices de vin et sur les variétés de raisins.
