Today we’d like to introduce you to Darlene Dubreuze.
Hi Darlene, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
MY NAME IS DARLENE DUBREUZE, THE OWNER OF ISLAND BREEZE BISTRO.
THE WOMEN BEHIND THE RESTAURANT ARE A GRANDMOTHER MARIE LOURDES,
MOTHER DARLENE AND DAUGHTER GABRIELA GONZALEZ. THE CONCEPT BEHIND THE RESTAURANT IS THAT I AM
HAITIAN AND GROWING UP MY MOTHER OWNED A RESTAURANT BACK HOME, SO
CREATING DELICIOUS DISHES IS IN OUR DNA. AT
THE RESTAURANT WE WANT TO SHARE OUR CULTURE – OUR CULINARY
ROOTS BUT ALSO WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE TWISTS ON FAVORITES LIKE
BURGERS – OR HOAGIES AS WE MAKE A JERK VERSION. JERK IS A
COMBINATION OF SPICES THAT GIVE FOOD AN AMAZING FLAVORFUL KICK.
AND ON SATURDAYS WE GO FULL TRADITIONAL, OFFERING OXTAIL AND JERK CHICKEN, AND WE SELL OUT EVERY TIME. WE ARE BLESSED TO BRING A DIFFERENT VIBE TO TN.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
HONESTLY, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT WE’RE BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME, WILSON CO HAS BEEN GREAT TO US AND SUPPORTED OUR BUSINESS AND HAS CREATED TONS OF OPPORTUNITIES AND SPOTLIGHT ON OUR BUSINESS.
WHAT YOU MAY CALL OBSTACLES/ CHALLENGES, I CALL LESSONS. LIFE HAS BEEN A GREAT TEACHER TO ME, AND I’M STEADILY LEARNING AND TAKING NOTE FOR FUTURE LESSONS. ONE OF THE GREATEST LESSONS IS TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I HAVE AN IT BACKGROUND. MY WORK ETHIC AND CONSISTENCY SET ME APART FROM OTHERS.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
A LITTLE FUN FACT ABOUT ME IS THAT I SPEAK 4 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
