Brooklyn-born chef has won the chance to bring her Caribbean-flavored food concept to midtown. Starting in January, Chef Sonya Samuel will be featured at her own booth at the Urbanspace at 570 Lex food hall. Samuel’s signature Bacchanal Sauce beat out two other finalists in the Citi Urbanspace Challenge.

“I am honored to have participated with the other chefs in this incredible competition and am beyond exited and proud to be bringing a fiery taste of the Caribbean to Urbanspace,” Samuel said in a statement.

Samuel’s Bacchanal Sauce consists of habanero and Scotch bonnet peppers, pineapple, guava, cinnamon and allspice and is intended to be served over Caribbean foods like fish tacos, sweet tamales and more.

The three finalists were give the opportunity to operate their own booth at an Urbanspace fall pop-up market, where the winner was determined by a public vote hosted on Urbanspace’s website, a panel of expert judges, as well as Urbanspace’s culinary team of directors. Dozens of entries were submitted in the Citi Urbanspace Challenge, which was designed to uncover new culinary entrepreneurs.
