Matt Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 From Cruise Passenger Quote Linken D’Souza, Vice President of Food and Beverage at Royal Caribbean International, also told Cruise Passenger he recently hired a minivan and tested 14 to 15 BBQ restaurants in Austin, Texas, before creating the BBQ offering on board the Oasis of the Seas. He tested the sauce and the meat by building a BBQ in the parking lot of the company’s HQ to test the sauces and meat on the staff. twangster, DublinFC, KristiZ and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was born in Dubai to Indian parents of Portuguese decent, spent most of his life in the Middle East, and then attended university in Switzerland I'm thinking NOT the best International palate to judge Texas BBQ.

So It just depends lol.. But I doubt this guy has any idea but I don't think its because he is from Florida I just think the food at Royal is not very good and none of the people there know what good food is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillo Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Who needs all that stuff? You just need Australian style Bunnings Sausage Sizzle. Snags, Onion and white bread. Note: Only the Australians on this forum will have any idea what I am talking about. ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His taste testers were. He's, "Mr D’Souza has a truly international palate.

Still I don't think he knows good BBQ wherever he is from.. I don't think he knows good food at all.. I love Royal but the one thing I hate about them is their food I just find it so bad.

Am I a good person to judge BBQ as to what is authentic and tastes good? Absolutely not. I like what I like and that's probably not what you like. I think he needed to taste test BBQ in a BBQ state. That's what I meant. And I totally agree he can't possibly get BBQ. AGSLC5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
