Fieldtrip, a restaurant by James Beard Award–winning chef JJ Johnson, has opened at the 3,400-room Atlantis Paradise Island resort. The original Fieldtrip, in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood, is the only fast-casual restaurant named as one of Esquire’s “America’s Best New Restaurants.”
The new eatery joins the resort's rapidly growing portfolio of
eateries helmed by famous chefs, which includes Michael White’s Paranza,
Nobu Matsuhisa's Nobu, José Andrés’ Fish, and Alon Shaya’s Silan.
Johnson creates Caribbean-influenced fare inspired by the flavors of his childhood, with dishes built around rice. Among the entrés offered at Fieldtrip are fried chicken with Carolina gold fried rice; slow-cooked Angus beef with Texas brown rice, wok vegetables, chipotle black beans, jalapeño peppers and scallions; cornmeal-crusted cod with herbed rice, wok vegetables, tartar sauce and pickled red onions; and chickpea curry with eggplant, Texas brown rice, wok vegetables and scallions.
“Not only does Chef JJ bring a unique culinary and cultural perspective to the resort, but he always brings fun," said Audrey Oswell, president and managing director of Atlantis Paradise Island. "Fieldtrip Atlantis Bahamas adds to the many healthy dining choices available for our guests and community to enjoy.”
