Founded by St. Lucian born chef Shorne Benjamin, Fat Fowl was created from a vision to redefine Caribbean cuisine through a modern lens while honoring the flavors and traditions that shaped his upbringing. Located in Brooklyn’s DeKalb Market Hall, the restaurant has built a loyal following for its New Age Caribbean cuisine, signature oxtail grilled cheese, lavender rotisserie chicken, and innovative dishes that blend Caribbean heritage with global culinary influences. Inspired by lessons learned in his grandmother’s kitchen and refined through years of professional culinary training, Chef Benjamin created Fat Fowl as a destination where bold flavors, creativity, and culture come together in an approachable and memorable way.

Every dish begins with thoughtfully sourced ingredients and a commitment to craftsmanship. Fresh herbs, seasonal produce, premium proteins, and traditional Caribbean spices are combined through techniques that balance comfort, innovation, and flavor. Drawing from his Caribbean roots, French culinary training, and international experiences, Chef Benjamin elevates familiar island favorites while preserving their authenticity. By combining fine dining standards with fast casual accessibility, Fat Fowl delivers an experience that is vibrant, welcoming, and distinctly reflective of the Caribbean spirit.
