    The more that I watch a Foodie Nation video, the more I'm deeply ashamed that I've yet to make it to Trinidad. My fond memories of living in Brooklyn, NYC (1975-1983) are that of being proudly exposed to my West Indian (grandparents) heritage via the culture of food and the most sincere wonderful people I'd never met while growing up in Harlem. I MUST go to Trinidad as I've been to Jamaica twice, and I must also go to Barbados where I have family from mom's side. I thoroughly enjoyed Trinidadian food my eight years in Brooklyn and continue to enjoy it here in Orlando, Florida but I MUST experience the entire culture of Trinidad 🇹🇹 live. A good and old friend of mine retired from the United States Postal Service and has built his retirement home in his lovely country of Trinidad, now I haven't any excuses for not going and I can't wait to get there! THANK YOU for this channel, your people are absolutely wonderful as I've always known since my years in Brooklyn.

Foodie always doing vids on the already popular .ppl will never know the smaller franchises and how good they are.

      Here is a video we did highlighting a small, relatively unknown Bake & Shark vendor on Maracas Bay: th-cam.com/video/jUSMW4PHUlY/w-d-xo.html
      The purpose of featuring Uncle Sam's was to tell the story of how Bake & Shark got its popularity on the beach as well as to pay homage to the pioneers of the craft. It is very important for our food history to be documented and shared for future generations.

    • @rhett.mccarthy
      @rhett.mccarthy ปีที่แล้ว +23

      You are paying for a lot more than just a Bake and Shark. The unlimited toppings and condiments are not cheap. Skilled labor is not cheap. Add everything else required to run a business. Plus, there is a premium attached to purchasing one of the world's most sought-after "sandwiches" on a world-renowned beach. There is always the alternative of buying something else or cooking your own food.
