Wish Willy on local and  International TV
Since Wish Willy opened his restaurant in 1999 he has had many
appearances in the local media. In early 2000 he had a cooking show on
Channel 5, one of the national TV channels in Belize. Only recently he was
asked again and last May 5 he showed the viewers of Channel 5 Belize how
to prepare a delicious Caribbean fish dish. And from 2007-2009 he
published weekly recipes in the Belize Times.

In 2009 his international break through was there: several international
TV stations & celebrities visited the restaurant on Caye Caulker to meet
the remarkable Wish Willy, learn about his cooking skills and picture the
typical entourage of the restaurant.

Joe Clair was the first one to visit us in April. This American TV host,
comedian and sometimes rapper was in Belize for a week to film a lifestyle
travel show featuring Belize’s culture, food, song, dance, people, locations,
or in other words: what people would do when they come to Belize through
Joe Clare’s eyes. One of his stops was Wish Willy, where he had lunch and
joked around with the crew.

Then in June a crew of the South Korean National TV had lunch at Wish
Willy and interviewed the chef. For dessert they had a fresh coconut that
Wish Willy himself had taken of the tree only a few minutes earlier.

Chef Keith Jones turned up in November of 2009. Keith Jones is a chef
for more than 20 years and is also known for his TV show (on Colours TV)
called 'Eatertainment'. He enjoyed lunch (see link below) and will come back
to do a film shooting where he will be competing with Wish Willy in the
kitchen.

Last but not least a film crew from Nepal came to have a look at the
eccentric restaurant. They shot lots of photos and videos and were
impressed by the simple and personal touch of Wish Willy.

All the visits were arranged  by Nigel Miguel, the Film Commissioner of the
Government of Belize.
