COMPETITOR
Kwivan Miller
COMPETITION: World Barbecue Championship
QUALIFYING EVENT: Cattlemen's BBQ Competition
Greetings, my name is Chef Kwivan Miller and I represent the islands of the Bahamas. My love for culinary arts started at a very young age while observing my parents preparing meals. This passion intensified at the age of fifteen (15) years old when I studied food and nutrition at the Saint Augustine’s High School, Nassau Bahamas. Upon completion of high school, I enrolled at the College of the Bahamas where I graduated with an Associate’s degree in Culinary Arts. As a course requirement, I completed a three month internship at the Atlantis Resort and Casino on Paradise Island. There I rotated in all food and beverage departments. In September 2003, I enrolled at the Johnson and Wales University, Providence Rhode Island where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts. Upon completion of my degree, I did a one month internship in Vitznau, Switzerland. I have worked in the culinary industry for eleven (11) years. My work experience includes the Atlantis Resort and Casino, The Lyford Cay Club, and the Albany Resort, Nassau Bahamas where I am currently employed. Although I worked in many areas of the culinary field including butchery, garde manger, fine dining, bistro, carving and sushi, however, one of my favorite hobbies and passions is grilling. I enjoy experimenting with food and hosting socials in my backyard with close family and friends. I am currently the Cattleman’s BBQ Grand Champion of Nassau Bahamas and also the 2013 Reserve Grand Champion for the Cattleman’s Ancillary BBQ competition in San Juan Puerto Rico. My team, “The Bahama Bar B King” looks forward to introducing a tropical explosion of flavors to Las Vegas in November as we compete in the World BBQ championships.You can locate us on facebook....BAHAMA BAR B KING....or at chefmiller@hotmail.com. Be sure to stop by our tent to experience the unique blend of flavors that the Bahamas has to offer to the world. Looking forward to seeing you in Vegas! Chef Miller
