A popular exhibit at the event was the California Rare Fruit Growers' table, where growers displayed such curious eats as a carambola, a tropical star-shape fruit, and a kiwano, a member of the cucumber family from Africa that is shaped like a lemon covered in pointy bumps. Starfruit, also called carambola, looks like a bright yellow, three-dimensional, five-pointed star. Connoisseurs can sample the creations of the international chef pairs, including Chef Hance Bannister of Coral Reef Cub in Barbados and Chef Rick Moonen of Oceana in New York; Chef Renee Griffith of Turtle Beach in Barbados and Chef Michel Nishan of Heartbeat in New York; and Chef Michael Harrison of Carambola in Barbados and Chef Geoffrey Zakarian of Patroon in New York. |
