You haven't lived if you didn't do dinner at Mrs Scatliffe's house...with the whole family watching.


About 7 or 8 years ago I was managing a villa and one week the guests were a couple who hadn't been back to Tortola since they had gotten engaged on Long Bay Beach 15 years earlier. They were back with their two young teenage children and they requested a private chef for a night to make a "great local style meal" so I enlisted Johnny Smith, Mrs. Scatliffe's grandson and a good friend, and I acted as his sous chef. As we were preparing their meal in the villa's kitchen, the wife who was renting regaled us with a story about going to Mrs. Scatliffe's for dinner 15 years earlier and having Mrs. Scatliffe's "adorable" 12 or 13 year old young grandson as their waiter. Johnny looked up from the stove and said "that was me!" What a great night that was!
