FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

See I wouldn't even know for a fact. Of all the ethnicities that get championed and mostly repped on the west, Caribbean aint one of them.

Probably outside of Cali, the Caribbean presence is more minimal I would say. It's interesting to see the differences in the places. I wish I knew how authentic of a dish would be rated because even something as simple as rice and peas differ from how I had it at a trinidadian spot compared to a jamaican spot.

I'd like to invent a sandwich

 

[tay1]

It's pretty easy to do that

Poeached runny eggs on Toast is so simple but one of my favorite meals.

Rich Chocolate Gnache Mudcake
And
Another haul of snacks. Its starting to build into a collection at this rate. I can't eat it all but I like spending money on crazy specials haha
(That Rum n Raisin Dark Chocolate is amazingly good. Its sweet due to the raisins so the chocolate just taste like normal milk.chocolate, but intense. I eat a square in between drinks if im on the Dark Rum)

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Wait...you don't do this already?

I haven't made fries, at home, since about 2005. When I did, I use to bake them to a crisp.

When I said, "I wouldn't do that" I was referring to eating Pizza and Fries in the same meal

Man seriously, do you finish all of this stuff? You be buying in BULK. You work at a Walgreens/CVS or something?

Cha cha chicken is good...but it’s not touching authentic Caribbean food. That plantain sauce is fire though. I wish I knew what it was.

Call and ask them.

Tell that to the owners of the ones around me. I have 2 in a 10 mile radius and both have "Oriental" right in their name.

Yeah I remember being told Oriental is used non derogatory for material things.

Real talk. I love fries/mayo combo.

Ive mastered the flip. Took a while but im shooting like 92%. I like the edges to be crispy yet still have that runny yolk.
So oil is essential.

Il try this method out when i do eggs benedict. That swirling in hot water **** is a mess

Nice job on the jerk chickens, and nice use of dual zones on that kettle

DCAllAfrican what kind of jerk seasoning/rub you use?

@elpablo21

1. I "wash" (soak) my chicken in a vinegar/cool water mixture. I let that soak for about 10 minutes. I stir occasionally. I just use a deep glass Pyrex dish.

2. Remove chickens, and let them air dry; then I go over and pat dry with a Paper Towel.

3. Season all sides with Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Jerk Seasoning (Powdered Form: I am sure you can use any popular brand)

4. I mix Soy Sauce, Black Pepper, and the picture below. I make a paste and put the chickens in zip lock bags, with the paste, to marinate overnight

5. Grill

6. Last 10 minutes, I remake that Marinade and add Sirracha, and brush the chickens. Let the sauce sit on there for a few mins before taking off

@grimeyy

You ever try tdot jerk in PK? Had it yesterday while I was out there, it was on point. Basically a one man operation but he deals with it proper. I got the lunch special with a drink for $6.
