It Started with a Food Truck
Reggie has always had a passion for cooking. It started at a young age when he would be in the kitchen with his mother in Haiti. The youngest of three sons, he helped with a variety of chores, but cooking was his favorite. His passion was there!
Early in 2019, Reggie decided to turn a hobby into a business and began the process of building his own food trailer. He wanted his food trailer to feature his authentic Caribbean food while allowing him to travel to different communities and connect with people. By May 2019, he was ready to hit the road! It wasn’t long before menu items like jerk chicken and island shrimp began to capture the tastebuds of the local crowd. Caribbean Taste has since expanded to a full size food truck with a full size food trailer in the works.
A New Home Base: 509
Since starting Caribbean Taste, Reggie has regularly been asked when he will expand to a brick-and-mortar. Being honest, it wasn’t in the plans until the right location came about. It became quite clear that with the volume of food Caribbean Taste produces, the kitchen space to support that was desperately needed. In January 2022, Reggie sealed the deal! He expanded his food truck operations by establishing a brick-and-mortar home base with Area509. Located at 1025 N Badger Ave in Appleton, Area509 has all the menu items you have come to know and love, plus more. And if you haven’t experienced the Caribbean Taste yet, it’s the perfect opportunity to sit down and indulge.
