1994 94 and tell us a little bit about your Cuisine what do you do here jerk chicken ribs worken fish sometime Lobster P um do also catering whatever you need mhm um and pretty much that’s it try to keep it simple and good and the ribs I
See you’re making ribs right now you’re cooking ribs that’s every day or is that like no we only open Thursday Friday and Saturday from 11: to 11: all right let’s go inside oh man this is this is the good stuff right here that’s that pork nice fat
Right there and he’s cutting up ribs right here what is it like being a Jamaican in America good good everybody love Jamaican does it is there any differences I mean from what you um you know remember do you go back often yeah it’s came back from the new year and do
You always go back to Spanish town or do you go all over the place all over the place you look very busy today people are coming left and right and you also have like unique sauces so you make that barbecue sauce yeah I’ll show you to you
So what is your story um how did you start this truck this story is this when I my daughter baby shower when my wife pregnant the baby shower and I was cooking and everybody was like oh no you got to sell this chicken so I decided to
Sell it so so uh I make my own seasoning I make my own sauce and um it was doing good everybody love it first time I try I flopped because nobody know me and I went to a show and to a Big Show and everybody was going to the the best
People they know I was just a little tent and start doing a little stuff food was excellent nobody knew my wife went out in the crowd and sell the chicken and that’s how I sell a little bit of chicken and ribs and stuff but after that I decided to take it on
The street and we start doing it and it comes from 20 lb we start off with 20b of chicken at a a nightclub called swees not swees timeout the nightclub called timeout that’s where we start I start off with 20b of chicken next week will been 40 lb
And I then then I keep moving moving up I’m going I move to another spot and you keep starting out and keep starting out and I keep moving till I got this location about 20 years ago and um this is the city of West
Park okay and um I was here for a minute until the city decid say hey you can’t do this out here we went to court and um they allowed me to do it and then I’m grandfather and because I was here before the city becomes a city so that’s
Why you can do this cuz I haven’t seen this anywhere else in South Florida nothing like a truck with a tent and the smokers that’s very unique very authentic grand grandfather how are you so tall bro what do you eat what do you eat it’s that
Jerk it’s that jerk no it’s Ai and selfish not I can’t selfish my family family is tall yeah yeah my mom’s side they’re very tall and what’s your favorite dish your makan dish I don’t have a really a favorite dish so what do you recommend for us to try today everything everything everything
Everything no that jerk pork over there looks ridiculous I can’t wait pork is good uh the ribs is good the chicken is good fish is good lobster is good everything is good om make lemonade is good there’re like a friendly competition between the American Jamaicans and jamaan no because what
Happened is the sauce we use is a barbecue sauce and um that’s represent um the Americans and then um the season we use is Jamaican season so we put the two of them together and we have jerk chicken with barbecue sauce so it’s like a jerk barbecue and we got jerk ribs nobody
Have that ooh everything out here is a jerk you know but he’s not a jerk though I’m the biggest jerk no no you’re great so that’s something about Americans we love our sauces you know sauce is King smoky it’s that jerk sing on top try oh I’m going to try I’m
Breaking my fast with some jerk and this is the original jerk pork is the original yeah it’s like in Portland Boston Bay yeah oh my gosh I’m going to eat a lot more of that that’s fantastic man hey that’s meet and his daughter I’m David
By the way hi nice to meet you pleasure nice to meet you what’s your name Talia Talia yeah so Chef Tali yeah so it’s Chef Talia that’s how okay okay yeah okay got it got it now now it all makes sense and the story makes sense so you’re the reason we’re here yes
Incredible apparently so tell me a little bit about Jamaican food to me it’s I don’t want to say I’m biased but it’s the best food for me it’s really well seasoned it’s very you can get a little bit of everything when it comes to Jamaican food you can get if you love pork
There’s a lot of variety of pork that they have we eat jerk we have goat curry goat I know if he told you about Curry gold but Jama that’s really really good do you have today no we don’t sell Curry gold but we do cater and if you want
Catering food we do have that type of stuff another um traditional Jamaican Cuisine is called Manish water that’s goat head soup that’s another thing that’s really good that we eat holiday time and like really special occasions um she’s a vegetarian yeah I don’t eat
Meat but because of my dad I have to eat meat holiday time because he cooks and it’s so good I canot eat it holiday time so that’s one of the things that we haven’t tried as the Manish water we were told to do it but it’s usually holidays right yeah holiday times you
Can get it um at some restaurant sometimes they’ll do SE like soup of the day and maybe some days they might have that soup you can try it out it’s really good though I recommend it so your job was born in Jamaica you’re first generation American and I guess tell me
Differences and being born here I mean do you grow up around a lot of Jamaicans or I mean I did because my private school was was a Caribbean private school I had a lot of Jamaican teachers I had a lot of Jamaican students or first generation like me students that
Went there the culture in the school was very much kind of Jamaican so like even though I wasn’t born there I was surrounded by a lot of Jamaican culture um here and especially growing up in mymar there’s a lot of Jamaican culture in myar too there’s a lot of Jamaican restaurants Jamaican supermarkets
Jamaican bakeries here they have like um Independence Day at the park for Jamaicans so like it’s a big thing in the city like a lot of Jamaicans are here so let’s go to the back let’s see what they’re doing wo is that look at that a million
Onions a mountain of onions we make our own season so we do it from scratch it’s a little secret we use a lot of scotch banet Pepper or habanera pepper where we can use or the onions and a lot of mixture and stuff like that and um we
Prep like Monday so our food can marinate and sit so if you go inside here oh this is going to be amazing let’s see this is the secret right letting a marinate this it’s freezing what is this like negative it must be like negative Celcius here woo I can’t be in here too
Long if you lock me in there I turn into an icicle so we have all that for this week so hopefully we sell it off if possible you always sell man we’re going to sell more with you for sure obviously we use this to make the seasoning
Blender blend up everything pump it in there we do all the mixture and stuff like that that reminds me of going to like a brewery you know the big big bats like that huge this is called a tumbler so we put it in there and it rotate and
Spin and get the season get on meat so it’s a huge so instead of using instead of using your hands used our hands back in the days one at a time so each chicken get one rub at one at a time so we do enough now do like ,000 lb one
Time no it makes more sense if once you start scaling up you have to go up cuz we do like probably three p a p and a half ribs A500 lb of pork and that’s like every week wow wow I’m ready I’m hungry through the pork just
Blew my mind it was so good see you Wow Wow Bow is like a slow cooked beef it’s so good in Masa if you ever go to managa nicara you drive about half an hour to Mas right there the best inan They roll out the cheese and then they put it in a bag and the reason they do the bag is because people in nicara get back in the bus they just get it quick everything’s in a bag Taco bag everything then you just open a hole food is amazing yeah Miami Pandia P we have go pandia narwa hit me up that’s great this is why I do what I do because this is how we interact this is awesome in YouTube David’s been here see David’s been here in English David’s here wow okay graas all right let’s go let’s go hey how you

And they they’ve been asking me to come back I’m thinking of doing like a tour like Trinidad Guyana Surinam you know 3 day 3 day 3 day and just going back to back so what’s your story how long have you been here time uh 34 almost 35 years
34 years yeah wow and uh so what can you tell me about like I guess the guyes here in Miami there’s a lot of Jamaicans of course but we’re L of Jamaicans but they all move they all move up north now it’s a mixture of all kind of people
Around here more yeah very um diverse and what neighborhood is this is a portal or this like a actually this is a this is Little River Little River this is called Little River yeah how long have you been cooking your whole life um no actually I only start cooking when I
Got married oh wow which was like 22 years when I was 22 years old that’s when I started cooking but then when I came here uh in 1990 I didn’t cook I had a chef then after one Chef leave and another Chef come and they leave then I start cooking like maybe
210 and then I start doing my own thing and so what do you recommend I try today the oxtail oxtail is really really good it looks amazing and the curry goat C and we have now now you’re speaking my language is it a go Curry go go curry curry go
Curry so so do you Curry the goat or do you put goat into curry curry is very no but they’re laughing because like chiny people would say go and ganese people would say curry goat yes now I’m getting confused in India the same thing it’s like the
Opposite yeah I think um didn’t say um they start with the animal yeah yeah they start with like chicken curry chicken curry and we say curry chicken because you’re you’re cooking the curry first then you add the chicken curry you’re currying the chicken right am I wrong no
You’re right you’re right commment will let you know soon I’ll let you know yeah but they’re going to be biased yeah to be quite honest and so you’re a restaurant but you’re also a market yeah we’re also a market well we do more most of our business on the restaurant part
Got it you know and you do roties as well oh yes I do look I have my door right here oh man can you do a for us sure do you do pepper Roti or which one no I only do the doll Puri or the bsom
Shop bsom shop is what we need to see we need to see that I love B shop I’m going to be I’m going to be with you we’re going to do together okay all right um couple days ago this guy came and he wanted to he wanted a shrimp
Prot so I made the shrimp proty and then he then he said he’s a bler and then um he said he went to this place called LC Roy shop and he said he give LC a nine on the Roy and he G 8.9 woo so putting uh curry chicken yeah
This is curry chicken then he did another one where he compared a Patty to a doubles comp you compare Patty with a banana not with Doubles Doubles is CH from India exactly and then he said oh the doublers beat the party and I was like stupid can you it’s called we cause
Controversy so you guys can comment amazing fact uh he just told me is that people still come here to this day because of what Anthony Bordain did um what like 8 years ago 2015 he came 2014 2014 so even longer 10 years ago a decade ago and this is the Roe guys if
You’ve never had a roe it’s one of the best things on planet Earth it’s like a wrap but the bread the way they make it is phenomenal cariban burrito it is the Caribbean burrito and right now she added uh curry chicken right not chicken curry yes curry chicken and so do you uh
These roties what’s the what’s the menu like uh how many different things do you have here okay we have I don’t have too many things because I’ve been selling this upale oh that’s that’s cabbage that was a stew chicken this one is a curry goat and that one was a curry chicken
Which I have more stuff well I love curry goat that’s my that’s my ultimate uh all day that’s curry goat oh wow so you still do it with the bones too no I don’t take out take listen I don’t do the bones because I don’t want to be
Super for bone no no no you can’t you have to take them out unless you ask me for bone you’re not going to get bone some people bring it on they CH it back in my face because oh this is not a roe because it doesn’t have the bone I think
This is my Roy right yes oh you have the the doll right there right oh you know the doll too mhm of course come on so the story behind do pory and bus up shop that all came from indenture uh labor that came from India correct right so that’s how it was
Influenced in both Guyana Surinam and Trinidad they were the the three countries that received the most yeah and then um so bus up shop is almost like onara they mash it or they they smash it with uh two big paddles or two big uh wooden oh you do with your hands
That’s the Indian way though the Indian way is like now people get late they don’t do the oldfashioned way they either take two piece piece of pder and they go like this or they put it in a mug like a picture and they Shake It Up
Wow or both and so this is a split peas guys split PE ground split PE no I love this this with some Tamarind Chutney some coconut chuty I make my own Tamarind chuty oh do you I make my own pepper sauce you you I’m trying it I’m
Trying it for sure you try is it super super pepp you also know me G also you do me G as well we we we used to but since all the guyes people from around here move we we we don’t we just do the basic like k a Jamaican Chinese chicken
Upst yeah so if you don’t know there’s three main dishes in Guyana Pepper Pot it’s like the altimate beef with casser then you have metam G which has dumplings uh dumplings you put fish inside our beef and then they invented something called the egg ball dumpling yeah Dum the egg
Ball is pretty much you boil an egg then you boil potato you mash it you put the egg in the center you put a potato over it and you um bre like you make a batter with split peas or flour and you dip it
Inside and you fry yeah so I did it in Georgetown I went to an egg ball uh Street cart like a huge one they had a million and then they cut it in half and they put like some spice pepper and then they put some jelly
Fantastic well she said 10,000 a day she says yeah yeah they did 10,000 a day I you know something I wouldn’t doubt her because these people that would get up like we hour like 1: for one because when I was a kid I used to go visit some
People in church toown and they used to cook dalpi and they used to sell it with um mango chutney just that alone and they used to make cane juice and they used to cook like 500 Roy a day wow yes by the way do you have any can juice
Here do you have anything like that no no W Apple no W Apple no no you would get that it or like well that that or coconut I need one or the other no we don’t pineapple Ginger and we make a soral drink oh you do yeah well then
I’ll try the Sor cuz the Soro is very Guyanese it’s it’s hibiscus flour yeah it’s hibiscus flour yeah man it’s crazy how the knowledge is just right there it’s a pumpkin oh it’s pumpkin that’s not goat it’s goat meat soup goat meat soup goat meat soup and then you have
Pumpkin on top yeah sometimes I get confused with squash cuz people like mix it up planting and then after this is cooked I’m going to put it in a bigger pot and put potatoes dumpling and yams you know what I love aayana the accent you know it’s like our first our
Friend Chef Dev like oh you know it’s different wow that looks good too everything looks phenomenal here my friends we have to come here and eat do you know a little bit of your history um pretty much all I knew my great-grandfather um he was from India mhm my great-grandfather he he fought
Borar right and then he went to Guyana as they put them on a boat to go work as slave I don’t know well and then they paid them but they were still slaves in a way yes and let me ask you gu in Miami is there a lot they are but they’re
Mostly either down south or up North so we down south um candal areia oh they do mhm but then they going to Jamaican Kitchen and Jamaican restaurants cuz there’s no gy over there like restaurant I guess maybe they cook their yeah well guy guy invite me for pepper pot please oh
Christmas time they oh yes yes yes we’re very diverse here I have all kinds of tourists I get mostly tourist because of Anthony Bordain wow um from Serbia Germany Philippines China you name it uh Dubai every place and but I mean before like I used to have all like Caribbean people but
Now I have a mixture American Cuban Italian Chinese all different kinds of people because most of guyes are actually in little Guyana in Richmond Hill in New York and queens I used to live there before oh you did I live in New York from 1979 in Liberty or
No no I live in Wakefield estate you know where that is no I’m noide by Kennedy Airport Oh by Ken when I used to live in New York it was very it was mostly Italian people um Caribbean people or gese people s move in the neighborhood the tellalian people
Flee born community in um in New York is gye second largest it’s amazing yes and so I moved from New York 1990 and I came here wow so when I moved there it exploded real big you know every corner you see gy store all guyes gy yeah and I love
Liberty Avenue because it is an Eclectic feel of G you have cies gone back since I left New York me NE so Miami is changing a lot how’s business right now it’s pretty good I can’t complain I could live comfortable pay my bills and but you feel the inflation correct some yeah if
I go to the supermarket if I go to Publix any Supermarket even Walmart it’s not like what it used to be you know you guys are here a little bit that’s my thing that I cook my on yeah yeah the tawa the tawa me India started
The the teaching and then it it went to the Caribbean you know yeah yeah that’s what I always tell people people always ask me um well how be um the food in Guyana how how did it arrive there and I was like oh the um Indian people took
Their culture there and whatever they took their their their spices and everything they make do with that and then they start you know Christmas week I had these um three kids came from Michigan and they ordered food and they sat in the dining room and I give them
Knife and fork and plate and you know I went in the dining room and I see the fork and everything put in the corner and then I asked the kids I said what happened then I see them eating with their using their fingers to eat and
Then I said you guys are eating with your fingers they said to me oh the food tastes better with your fingers and that’s how they eatting um it is true fromia don’t hate me America they they were from Malaysia right that’s they said that’s how they eat in Malaysia in
Asia it’s a hand or Chopstick culture that’s it no fork and knife yeah that’s true it doesn’t exist which is crazy mhm you won’t find it in restaurants foring knif utensils is fake when I’m home I use my fingers if I’m eating gese food so what do we got right here that’s a
Oxtail but taste it it’s like Pepper Pot looks like it sticky yeah cuz you know that cassar is like a sticky like this is not C this is this is just um this is um mushroom so it melts yeah oh I’m so happy ox tail wo look at that nice I like
The it literally fall the bone the the soy it’s a unique soy though it’s mushroom it’s mushroom better than Pepper Pot no because you seeing your eyes dude no see Pepper Pot H has they make it with different stuff they make it with like cof feet
They make it with pig face they like when I make pepper Bo I I don’t eat coffee so I would do oxtail and like beef the beef Shang and um and and maybe I put a little piece of um coffee for my husband he likes that but that’s what I do I am
Speechless and this is Cris I’m going to put some CCO here then I’m going to pull it right that and that that would be the B so what’s the difference for you well this is all flour and the other one has the the split piece the split piece and
The reason I make that one is because um I do a lot of um vegetarian so with the vegetarian peas has a lot of protein so this is where they get their protein from because a lot of people don’t like to eat soy I do soy too but they don’t like to eat
Soy we make that little ball and then we put it in magic but which one you want me to the bus up shop no the the one with you roll it so I spread out a little bit like that yeah yeah and then r a little bit of you roll
Just roll first yeah and then so it sticks so that’s why you have to put more flour yeah than this yes you know how to do that let me do that to you okay so what’ you add there that’s Crisco Crisco vegetable shorten it and then let it
There no no no you going to roll it on your hand now let me see how you going to do it like this this and then you roll it around yeah got it got it and then with this it over like this correct and then I fill
It might be a little messy a little messy this is like the worst okay and then I close it then you get all the edges press it on down all the edges now you pull the edges from the bottom and put it all together and then you close up and then
After that you go like this guys ready one two done a little hole in there it’s really it’s not good it’s not the best but you know what it will do as first dry it’s yeah try it actually is my first try I’ve never tried it this is
Mine that’s hers so this is the one cross between Trinidad and Gana they both have this yes yeah they both have both and then we do also do one um like Peter bread we call that one s Roi it’s it it has more baking powder and a
Little butter and um a little sugar and you cook you make it a little thicker that’s the parata from Northern India it’s like almost the same thing yeah something like that so the Roy comes from biar okay so then after this it goes to the tawa yes so I have the to
Here so Tower’s a FL flat griddle super hot as soon as he drops it on top you’re going to see it’s going to Bubble Up ooh look at that see that does look like AATA the same like thickness yeah oily in Deli man they have that in
Deli and you also have the Tamar and Chutney yeah I do I have my own that I made and this is a bus up shop this is a bus so once she’s done here she’s going to smash it love that air pocket you can smell
The ghee I don’t use ghee you I used to use ghee but it’s hard to get sometimes yeah clarifi butter is hard mean like sometimes you know the Imports don’t it’s always hold something okay this is it look at this this is it yeah yeah woo how do
Your hands feel good yeah if it’s a hot day it it’s terrible yeah this is the perfect bus of shop at that this you grab that get some goat Curry mhm and then you just mix mhm and this one is the um the doll FY wow you know recently when I was in
Little Guyana one year ago I had the pepper Roti mhm it was so amazing oh yeah when just how I put this they put the pepper yeah same come woo and this is davidi cooking that’s the horrible one no but look I make it nice wrong and nice no it’s perfect see
So you wouldn’t do this one you would do BU of shop with this cuz then all the all the lentils will come out all the slippies come out wow you know it’s something about watching food and then eating it there’s nothing better when you actually see it being made mhm
Always tastes better yeah I mean this is just basically flour dough um in this case I don’t think you said no ghe it’s just regular uh butter or Crisco Crisco um and then they throw it on the tawa so it cooks and that’s it so it’s just
Bread that becomes very flavor so when she does this when she smashes that’s the bust up shop but Trinidad make it even more like break it’s all like in pieces because they put so much butter and they like double roll it it’s actually bigger too I’ve seen it way
Larger yes yes cuz this is actually a small to why they cooking it like this it would break fall apart because there’s so much like shorting inside butter and crisco you know we also we saw some trines in Granada in Grenada not Granada and uh they made some amazing bus up
Shop for us yeah yeah it was good it looks so rich that Curry looks outstanding you have some pepper uh corn in there yeah yeah pepper corn is inside fantastic no that’s good it’s good I I love pepper corn I can I always crush them oh okay
