Atlantis Paradise Island unveils FIELDTRIP by Chef JJ Johnson, a celebrated rice bowl eatery, adding to its renowned culinary lineup.
Atlantis Paradise Island is excited to reveal the launch of FIELDTRIP, a top-rated, quick-service restaurant specializing in rice bowls, created by the esteemed Chef JJ Johnson, a recipient of the James Beard Foundation Award. Chef JJ Johnson, renowned for his unique spin on African Caribbean cuisine, is the mastermind behind FIELDTRIP, which stands out as one of the few quick-service eateries ever to be featured in Esquire’s “America’s Best New Restaurants” in 2020.
Following his overwhelmingly successful appearances at the first Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival and the Table Takeover Series, Chef JJ is now a permanent fixture at the resort, joining a stellar lineup of world-famous chefs like Michael White (Paranza), Nobu Matsuhisa (Nobu), José Andrés (Fish), and Alon Shaya (Silan).
Chef JJ, known for his groundbreaking culinary creations infused with the vibrant tastes of his Caribbean heritage, is not only a celebrated chef but also an award-winning author and television personality. He has been nominated nine times by the James Beard Foundation and has earned recognition from Forbes 30 Under 30 and Nation’s Restaurant News Power List, among other honors.
Originating from Harlem with three successful outlets in New York City, FIELDTRIP emphasizes sustainable ingredients to craft diverse and flavorful meals centered on rice. The Atlantis Paradise Island branch of FIELDTRIP will highlight international flavors with a focus on rare grains. The menu features rice bowls complemented by robust vegetables and proteins, including locally sourced seafood.
“I’m ecstatic to introduce FIELDTRIP to an international audience at Atlantis Paradise Island. My goal is to unite people through cuisine, and FIELDTRIP embodies this vision by celebrating rice as a universal ingredient. I’m proud to join the esteemed chefs at Atlantis and eager to share my distinct culinary creations with both locals and visitors,” expressed Chef JJ Johnson.
Audrey Oswell, President and Managing Director of Atlantis Paradise Island, commented, “Having Chef JJ Johnson join our array of chefs at Atlantis Paradise Island is fantastic. Chef JJ Johnson brings a distinct culinary and cultural flair to the resort. We’re delighted to have him back after his memorable appearances at the Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival and Table Takeover event, where he showcased exciting new tastes rooted in his Caribbean background. FIELDTRIP and Chef JJ Johnson are valuable additions to Atlantis’ exceptional dining experiences.”
FIELDTRIP is a key part of the significant enhancements to the resort’s dining scene, coinciding with Atlantis celebrating the 25th anniversary of its iconic Royal Towers and the refurbishment of the Atlantis Casino, Royal Tower guestrooms, and more. The new dining establishments, bars, and culinary initiatives reaffirm Atlantis Paradise Island as the premier culinary destination in the Caribbean and a must-visit location in the Bahamas.
