Meet Chef Guigui: Feeding Hearts, Not Just Plates

Behind the counter stands Guigui, the woman whose hands and heart brought this vision to life. For her, cooking isn’t just a profession — it’s a calling. “Guigui’s Kréyol Flavors was birthed by the joy and tranquility I feel when feeding the hearts and bellies of loved ones and strangers alike,” she says.

With a mission to represent Haiti through flavor and service, Guigui saw a need in Maryland for high-quality, accessible Caribbean food — and boldly stepped up to fill it. What began as a passion became a full-fledged restaurant, a growing fanbase, and a menu that proudly caters to vegans, halal diners, gluten-free eaters, and families alike.

And it’s not just about inclusion — it’s about excellence. Her approach is rooted in clean, organic cooking — especially her use of Creole Sizzle’s organic Djondjon (Haitian black mushroom), which brings out the deepest notes of Haiti’s most treasured rice dish.

The Flavor of Home: Diri DjonDjon Like You’ve Never Had Before

At Guigui’s Kréyol Flavors, Haitian black mushroom rice isn’t just a side dish — it’s a cultural experience.

Known locally as Diri DjonDjon, this dark, earthy rice made with black mushrooms is a sacred staple in Haitian kitchens. And here in Maryland, Guigui is setting the gold standard by crafting it with Creole Sizzle’s organic Djondjon — clean, fresh, and sourced with care.

“Since using Creole Sizzle’s Djondjon, I’ve sold more Djondjon rice than ever before,” Guigui shares. “It’s clean, flavorful, and elevates every bite.”

From the moment it hits the plate, you can smell the depth of flavor, the richness of the mushroom broth, and the history behind every grain. Guigui even goes beyond tradition, pairing DjonDjon with tender conch meat (Lambi) or innovating with a mouthwatering Djondjon burger — a fusion masterpiece you won’t find anywhere else.

Whether you’re craving a nostalgic bite of home or discovering Haitian cuisine for the first time, this is the place to try Djondjon done right. It’s not just food — it’s storytelling, served warm.

And the best part? No MSG. No artificial flavoring. Just real, organic Haitian ingredients made with love.

More Than a Meal: A Message from Guigui to the Community

“I want us to support each other without tearing each other down. Come taste the food. Come feel the love. Come represent who we are.”

In every spice, every simmer, and every shared plate, Guigui is preserving Haitian heritage — and passing it on.
