Support Chef Albert Barrett and His Family

As many of our cherished guests know, Chef Albert Barrett has been an essential part of the Stellas family—sharing his incredible talent, warmth, and passion with everyone he meets. Today, we have an opportunity to give back to someone who has given so much to us.

Chef Albert’s family in Jamaica has been deeply affected by Hurricane Melissa, which caused catastrophic damage to their home and community. One of the family homes was completely destroyed, another lost its roof, and several vehicles were demolished. While Albert and his family remain resilient and hopeful, the road to recovery will be long.

We invite our community to come together in support of Albert and his loved ones as they rebuild their family property and restore stability to their lives. Every contribution—no matter the size—makes a meaningful difference.

Let’s show Albert the same love, care, and generosity that he’s shown all of us.
