Carnage on the Road

Art Smith, who has spent ten years as Oprah's personal chef, will be in St Lucia for the 2007 St Lucia Food and Rum Festival, which takes place from November 1-4 at Rodney Bay Village.

Recently, Art fulfilled his dream of opening a restaurant Table Fifty-Two, which is located in Chicago (USA).

Oprah's sad to see him go, but she's given him her blessing.

As told on oprah.com, O says:"I always believed that this is what (he) should do, and it was hard for me to give (him) up, but I really felt that the world needed to taste (his) food. You can taste the love. Because this is a man who loves loving other people through food."

To get the full scoop - pun intended - check out oprah.com to find out more about Art's latest venture. If you want to taste his cooking (seen on the left), then come to beautiful St Lucia for the Food and Rum Festival :) You'll have a blast!
