Nagela Duperval, owner of Ou La Restaurant & Bar in Carteret, recently discussed Haitian cuisine and the obstacles faced by minority entrepreneurs entering new industries. Her insights shed light on the complexities and rewards of running a business that brings cultural diversity to local communities.
Also on the agenda was a New Jersey trivia segment, which presented unprecedented difficulty. In a surprising twist, neither contestant managed to answer any questions correctly, marking a first in this trivia game series.
Duperval's appearance aimed to highlight the rich flavors and unique offerings of Haitian culinary traditions, as well as the perseverance needed to succeed as a minority-owned business in the competitive food industry.
"The challenges are many," Duperval mentioned, emphasizing the need to overcome barriers and achieve business success while introducing customers to new cultural experiences through food.
Additionally, the trivia segment revealed the intricate knowledge required to master local trivia, which, this time, proved too challenging for the contestants involved.
