High-profile corporate executive, Jamaican-born Lowell Hawthorne, president and CEO of the Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery & Grill franchise, is going undercover — donning a disguise and starring on an episode of the Emmy Award-winning reality series “Undercover Boss” on May 22, from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Hawthorne — the visible head of the more than 120-store franchise company and author of “Baker’s Son” memoir on the firm’s origins — displays the start of a beard, wears eyeglasses and sports a black knit tam accented with the red, gold and green colors of Jamaica’s Rastafari to conceal his identity from workers.

During the episode’s airing, the 27-year-old company will host a live chat on Twitter (at @GoldenKrustBkry) responding in real-time to any conversations using #UndercoverBoss.

Now I know Undercover Boss is fake - everyone at Golden Krust - know what Lowell looks like and his "disguise" is not going to fool anyone - ugh.
