Guyana-born chef serves grand fare at the WH
By Tangerine Clarke
Consul General of Guyana
to New York, Barbara Atherly,
congratulated Guyanese American
Chef, Kashif Browne, on
his accomplishment, as executive
sous chef at the White
House, the official residence
of the President of the United
States.
In a statement to Caribbean
Life, Atherly said, “Congratulations
on your accomplishments,
Kashif Browne. It is
with great pride that we are
all witness to your achievements,
through dedication to
your craft,” she told 29-yearold
Browne, who came from
a family of chefs, and has had
keen interest in fine cuisine
from a very young age.
On behalf of all Guyanese,
CG Atherly complimented
Browne, who graduated from
Bishop’s High School, one of
Guyana’s prestigious institutions,
saying, “We as Guyanese
are proud of you, continue in
excellence, and continue to
keep our flag flying high,” were
her warm wishes to Browne
who, completed a semester at
the University of Guyana, and
had begun a career in banking
before migrating to the United
States.
Browne, who is pictured at

Donald Trump, wife, Malania,
Browne’s wife, his high school
sweetheart, Guyanese Dental
Surgeon, Dr. Sulan Fung, and
Browne’s parents — has followed
his bloodline to excel
in culinary arts. He used the
memorable experiences he
had in his mother’s kitchen,
to garner a successful career
that landed him at the White
House.
His interest in food grew
after he moved to the United
States and got accepted into
the International Culinary
School at The Art Institute of
Washington.
While there, he became
known as a “genius in the
kitchen” with “gifted hands”
because of the diverse dishes
he cooked.
When Browne completed his
training, following a stint in
Italy, he used this knowledge to
enhance his credentials, which
further prepared him to skillfully
master various cooking
styles.
He later went on to The Zeppelin

Ristorante in Orvieto and
was also a member of the Alpha
Lambda Delta National Honor
Society before graduating from
the Culinary School of the Art
Institute.
During a short period of
time, Browne traveled and
worked at different corners of
America, gradually becoming
culinary intellectual.
The chef has made a name
for himself, serving fine fare
in Las Vegas, New York, the
French ambassador’s residence,
Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock concerts
and the Grammy Award
Ceremony.
Browne said he has become
increasingly grateful to the
“erudite chefs” who taught him
along the way, sharing their
techniques, recipes and some
of the great secrets of cooking.
The world renown chef, who
remembers his roots and often
reminisce about his wonderful
years growing up with his
family in Carmichael Street,
Georgetown, and attending the
St. Margaret’s Primary School,
praised Christophe Tanneau-

Gatsby.
He said his extensive knowledge
of various cuisines would
not be possible without their
instrumental efforts, according
to reports.
And while Browne raves over
his French and Asian Cuisine,
he said he also always ensures
he delivers Caribbean, and
more so, Guyanese flavors in
all of his dishes.
With an eye for detail and
quality, Browne has also been
climbing the ladder to greater
success, while building a family
of his own.
Over the span of his exciting
culinary career, he has moved
from being a saucier to a sous
chef, to executive sous chef
and now a full-time job at the
White House, where he caters
to the First Family of the United
States of America.
