Sint Maarten—In a vibrant showcase of culinary artistry, Chef Ray, the influential force behind Pretty Girls Eat Too, has wrapped up an unforgettable four-day visit to Sint Maarten from September 27th to 30th. Her first video has already had a fantastic reach with close to 16k views, with 2 more reels expected to come out this month.

She explored St. Maarten’s diverse cuisine by dining at various restaurants that are participating in November’s St. Maarten Flavors. Chef Ray documented her culinary journey, capturing the essence of Sint Maarten’s food scene for her eager global audience.
“After spending time in SXM and eating my way across the island, I can see why it’s named the gourmet culinary capital of the Caribbean. From the many cultures residing on the island, to the amazing culinary talent that the chefs possess, this has been nothing short of amazing and eye opening.” Explains Chef Ray.
In addition to her culinary escapades, Chef Ray enjoyed a suite of exhilarating island activities that showcased the breathtaking beauty of Sint Maarten. From an adrenaline-pumping ATV Island Tour to a relaxing sunset horseback ride, a Topper’s Rhum Tour and quality cabana and pool time at the Seaview Beach & Pool Bar, Chef Ray’s journey highlighted the island’s appeal beyond just its food, making her coverage a well-rounded representation of what Sint Maarten has to offer.
“Participating in different activities on the island such as horseback riding, the Toppers Rhum Tour, baking cakes at the Zee Best Bake Shop, and going on an ATV tour around the island to sightsee showed how beautiful this island truly is. So much culture and so many stories to tell.” Continued Chef Ray.
