With another day in Trinidad and Tobago ahead of me, I decided to go all-out with a food and attractions tour of Tobago! Let’s head out and explore the island!

👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/stores/davids-b...
By boy Chef Jason Peru and I started at Primitive Arts, a small stand where a woman sells handmade wooden crafts. I could see carved wall hangings of turtles, fish, and jaguars, as well as masks made from calabash shells!
I saw a mask that almost looked like a pumpkin, as well as necklaces, cowrie shell earrings, bags, postcards, maracas, and shirts. The calabash shells were all really unique. Everything cost me 400 TTD, or about $65 USD.
From there, we drove through a small, quaint community to the Mystery Tombstone of Plymouth. It’s from 1783 and is known for its baffling inscription, which says the tomb is for a woman named Betty Stiven who “was a mother without knowing it, and a wife without letting her husband know it except by her kind indulgences to him.”
It’s located just 20 minutes from Plymouth Point. Then, we drove across the island, through the interior, to Fort King George in Scarborough. It sits on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on the opposite side of the island.
The fort was built in the early 1770s as a fortification for the newly appointed capital of Scarborough. It was known as Fort Castries during a French occupation from 1781-1793 and then fell under British Control and renamed Fort King George after King George III.
It houses the Tobago Museum and a jailhouse. Below us was the beautiful town of Scarborough and beyond it, the ocean! There were lots of mossy colonial buildings, and some barracks.
The island was very sleepy. We drove to a small tent near the ocean called Wendy’s Taste the Difference. They were selling barbecued pork, blue marlin, stewed pigeon peas, fries, salad, a cheesy garlic potato pie, tamarind sauce, garlic sauce, and barbecue sauce.
I started with the BBQ pork, which was a meaty pork shoulder. I loved the smokiness and the sweet sauce. Next was the provision salad, which contained green figs, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and breadfruit. It was soft and creamy and so tasty!
The cheesy garlic potato pie was like au gratin potatoes. It’s the perfect Sunday meal! I also loved the salad, which was fresh and crunchy. We followed that with the blue marlin, which was insane. I’d never had sauces like this on barbecued fish. It was so meaty and moist!
The stewed pigeon peas with rice and macaroni salad were also amazing. It all went well together and created an amazing food experience! Each plate cost 55 TTD each, or about $8 USD each. It was so good, I couldn’t stop eating it!
Then, we followed the main highway down to Pigeon Point. What an awesome day in Tobago!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,300 destinations in 88 countries to experience and document unique cultures on my TH-cam channel, travel blog, and social media.
I highlight culture and historical sites, but my passion is food! I love to experience and showcase the different flavors each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining.
Where have you been?
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
Much love to my Trini peeps. 🇹🇹 🇯🇲.
Blessed yarde 👍🏿👊🏿
Appreciate the many videos you have about sweet Trinidad and Tobago , Thanks David for showcasing our country, Blessing to David , Chef Peru and all who made this happen.
Almost done with the series 💯
Drooling at 7am..😄 Wendy's food looked absolutely delicious. David could hardly stop eating...symbol of fantastic Caribbean deliciousness👌👌👌
Yes so good!
All tourist go to Tobago nice people speak English boycott Dominican Republic they don’t like black peoples n no English they cook dirty
Trinidad n Tobago number one
Wendy’s food is absolutely delicious. The pork is excellent. Really like how you touch everyone with your love for food and sharing it with the world. I know Trinidad and Tobago has a special place in your heart.
Again I say David, your videos of Trinidad and Tobago we the subscribers, can clearly see a more relaxed, layed back and truthfully an entirely different person of yourself in these vlogs. Thanks for visiting and please return soon!🇹🇹
This was another beautiful one, the historical sites food souvenirs friendly people and all . David thanks again for highlighting both islands equally and as always stay safe on all your travels
David i love how you integrate yourself in our culture and our twin island
Thank you David and crew for all of these amazing videos of trinidad and now Tobago - I was so blown away every time another video was posted as I didn’t expect so many videos but it was really the best way to showcase all of what the two islands have to offer - make me miss home even more but I’ll be there soon for a visit especially to eat all the awesome foods lol !!! ❤️
Appreciate everything you do and the way you take time to absorb not just the food but also the culture in a very real way.
David was well prepared for this trip. He did his homework. 👏👏👏. Knew quite a lot unlike Peru. Other David would have been a better guide. He is calm and takes his time when explaining something. On a different note, why didn't they get knives to cut the meat? It's disgusting to see Peru using his fingers to break up the meat, licking them and then putting those same fingers back in the food. Very very unsanitary, ugh, yuck, eew. These videos in Tobago are really great. Quite a big change from what he did in Trinidad where it was all curry and food. Why wasn't he taken around Port of Spain in the daytime to see all the historical buildings, the red house, the PM 's office, the president's residence, NAPA the biggest cultural building in PoS. Let him see how people go about their daily lives. To all the people who accuse other people of being racists because Peru gets criticized for all the curried food, just look at the difference between what David did in Tobago and what he did in Trinidad. Don't you all think that they could have arranged more and better things for him in Trinidad. Why didn't they take him to see the pitch lake, the temple by the sea and all the other historical buildings, Naparima hill that helps to block off strong winds? Now if I missed any of these things, I stand corrected but there are so many more interesting things other than food that make Trinidad and Tobago unique. After all, David is into people and culture. Just because he is a foodie doesn't make everything else minor. It all goes hand in hand. David, you are commended on your knowledge of Trinidad and Tobago.👏👏👏. YOU are doing a great job.
Thank you! My goal is to immerse myself in each culture. Doing the best I can. ❤️
@@Davidsbeenhere keep up the good work. I hope that you did an overview of your trip to Trinidad and Tobago at the end. Nobody can doubt that you had a very successful trip. You should go back and explore all the things that they neglected to show you. Arrange with David to take you around again. David is very calm and knowledgeable and he looks like he would be a better host. And I saw your wife and 2 daughters (one was still a baby) on vacation in one of your previous videos. Take them with you next time to get that clean, fresh island breeze. You did your homework because I was born and lived in Trinidad until 1976 and there were things that I learned through you and this trip. Never been to Tobago so I saw it for the first time. Imagine that eh. Great job and keep up the good work. P.S: I checked out your visits to other countries and they are very enjoyable to watch. Couldn't believe that one in Iran where they put the hot rocks in the milk to boil it. Amazing!!! I just wonder what your stomach feels like at the end of the day.🤔🇹🇹🇨🇦
Good Video BUT O' Lord this Attention Hungry/Seeking Chef Peru guy AGAIN!
Best you give him the channel, am sure he will take it.
@@thatswhatamsaying9750 yeah. In a previous answer to somebody's comment he replied that "he takes property and spouses. It's natural". He also made a comment to someone else that if she wanted to hear David talk, that she should go and watch David's other videos. Does anyone really know what kind of person this so-called chef is? He was in this for himself. Check out the credits in the info below the video and you will see Davidsbeenhere site as well as Peru and his girlfriend's sites are also listed. It wasn't Davidsbeenhere, it was Peru's been there. I bet that Peru will never patronize those vendors after this is all done. The guy made so many simple mistakes throughout the whole thing. Thank God David did his homework and came well prepared.
Tobago is the more relaxed side of the Twin Islands ❤️
We can see so many cultures beacause of you....Thank you for this amazing content David🙂🙂
Thank you 🙏
Greetings to Dave and the gang , Dave , Welcome to Trinidad and Tobago . You're now officially a TRINBAGONIAN .👏👏👏👏 👍. .

I’m a Trini in exile from Trini food and have been eating vicariously while watching the last 17 episodes of your foodie indulgence in T&T. Thank you for bringing me up to date on the Trinbago food scene. I plan to visit next year (God willing and the devil don’t mind) and I’ve been taking copious notes of all those food stops that I intend to visit when I get there. Looking forward to the rest of the T$T videos you post 👍

Food looked delicious! Love the historical sites.
Ok, your channel popped up on my you tube yesterday and I've watched all the trini vids already cause I'm a biased trini😂. But seriously, love ppl like you who enjoy food and culture and make their dreams happen! I've not hit 80+ countries yet but gotten into the 30s and my husband in the 70s so far. Mainly in Europe, middle east, Africa and Asia. In tnt I would take alot of visitors around the islands as well! Glad you had a good time in tnt and wish you continued Joy's of food discoveries in your travels! Hit me up if you're in France! Happy eating!
David is more like an Indian dad....our fathers too bring some goodies while coming home !
And look at your face when you were checking the earrings ❤️
I've been to our sister isle Tobago once in my life🙈(shame on me), but that one experience made me fall in love. I didn't see half of what David is seeing but it's enough to make me want to go again soon. My sweet, sweet T&T ❤️.
Loving the Tobago series too. YOU had an awesome and traditional Sunday lunch too. Chef Jason is right after one of those you just wanna sleep 😅. Glad you got some awesome trinj creole food too.
Can’t wait to visit
Love the video.... will definitely go yo some of the places o my nxt trip to Tobago....
Awesome Trinidad and Tobago series❤
Thanks guys for doing this video
Luv this thank you can't wait for u to com to Guyana
Hey guys I feel like heading home right now, oh goody! Beautiful Tobago sista isle
Davidsbeenhere: Just saw the photo you posted of your new office. Saw some of the masks on the wall. Hope you give a tour soon and hoping to see the masks you bought in Trinidad and Tobago on the wall as well.
David you are awesome!
Looks delicious, I would Love to come!
You did it again. I’m so hungry 😋
Wendy got it going on, food looked so delicious
I've got to go there one of these days!
I remember when Zimmerman rated Trinidads bake and shark one of the best sandwiches he has ever had. I wonder generally what David thinks about the food in comparison regionally and internationally. It's very rare that there's a country with African and Indian cuisine.. we are only compared to Mauritius.
it sure is ;)
David surely loved the food. No other country, I believe can compare because they don't season their food like we West Indians do. They put whatever they cook unseasoned in the pot without washing and cleaning it, especially meats and put the salt and pepper on it when they are ready to eat it. So nothing compares. Seasoning, seasoning, seasoning. That's the difference. African and Indian cooking in the Caribbean is all about the seasoning.🇹🇹🇨🇦
Hi CL. I think you meant Andrew Zimmern, Bizarre Foods. He rated Shark and bake as his top 10 all time favorite foods.
@@gerardwoo9780 No she was right. Anthony Bourdain went to Trinidad as well 5 years ago. Check out TH-cam.
Hi @@JudyT868 . Anthony Bourdain did a "Parts Unknown" segment in Trinidad. Don't recall his comments on shark and bake. Hope he did though! Will watch it again. Thanks!
love Jason colabing with you
Yes I love my Trinidad n Tobago food the best a clean healthy
Going tobago next yeah in the dry season. Gonna pass by Wendy for some bbq pork. Looks great!!!
David you should of tried to find a Calabash handbag. They would have been so cute for your girls. I don't know how much they would be, I imagine a lot. But when I was a young girl they were so popular at one time, it wasn't even a tourist item, everyone wanted one and everyone had a different design. Now, it's more for tourists but they are so cute.
So far I'm enjoying the Tobago side more than the Trinidad inside, you had me scared there when you first hit Tobago when you went straight to the doubles I was like Curry again but you made up for it so far and I'm loving it I could do without Jason Peru but I guess that's your connection so I got to take him with a grain of salt.
Sheryl Sutherland: I agree with everything you said. I don't understand why Peru keeps licking his fingers and putting them back in the food. (My mother used to tell us not to juta ,(don't know if you ever heard that word) the food by doing what Peru is doing in all of these videos. Can you imagine what he does in his own kitchen? And for someone who calls himself a chef, he should practice better hygiene and manners. It very unsanitary when he does that and David has to share in it. Ugh. I hope Peru is reading these comments. He could learn a thing or two.
@@JudyT868 I've never heard that term before. My mother's side is Trinidadian of Venezuelan heritage and my father is black American
@@sherylsutherland1183 : yeah. It's slang from the French word "adjouter," meaning "to add". So what Peru was doing every time he licked his fingers and put them back in the food, he was adding his saliva to it, hence the word "juta". My mother was Trinidadian East Indian and my father was Trinidadian Chinese mixed. Ask around and see if anybody ever heard the word. Now you can use it too.🇹🇹🇨🇦
@@JudyT868 thank you for the information I definitely have to ask my family. My grandfather had a little bit of East Indian blood but he was mainly a Venezuelan heritage and black while my grandmother was full Venezuelan she came to Trinidad to learn English stayed married my grandfather and had my mother
is it just me or does Jason switch his accent? One minute he sounds trini and the next he sounds like he trying to do American accent.
Food look real good
Great video.....👍🏿🇹🇹
Big shout out from Kojak Country Lifestyle my Trinidad friends.
lovely vlog
❤you probably miss Trinidad and Tobago… would you visit again David ?
amazing!!!!
@David, do you have fast metabolism? You stay trim regardless of what you eat.
Had Wendy's a couple months ago her food is awesome. But you all need to get to the country and get some roast fish.
Yes we needed to 😅
Yes we needed to 😅
my best bro david your friend is awesome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries germans russians lot of love 💙
We coming next month to buy some of your delicious food N garlic sauce Wendy. Hope you have some hot pepper sauce.
AMAZING 👍👏😁🤣
Wendy's food is amazing
Great video..Good vibes good Energy...I just getting my Jones on big Boi CHEF Jason tho..Could real talk n describe the food.lol.
Come to AREPAS ARIAPITA, Woodbrook, PoS! So yummy! 🇹🇹 🇻🇪
Nice video
Thank you for highlighting tobago. Please do the country side which is Roxborough, speyside and Charlottesville. Thanking you in advance
Wendy’s food looked delicious. I have not found the food in Tobago to be too tasty, guess I ate at the wrong places. Next time.
Love it
Jason prefered David 's food over his or wah 🤣 Jason hungry bad it seems jeesh
Jason is like forget all this sight seeing…. Let’s get back to the food…
David did the right thing by having a few trini guides. like Jason and David. NEVER come to trinidad alone and wonder! because You will most likely get robbed from either a thief or a vendor. Which they try to give you a tourist price. Having Jason and David there prevents this. Only david and people on his level can find such good company. If you're a common tourist, be careful. David is 100% safe. My recommendation when visiting our country is to simply make friends with decent people and tag them along especially if you plan on making alot of purchases. Always have a trini by your side. Our country isn't as lovely as you think. Crime rate is very high. BE SAFE PEOPLE AND PLAY IT SAFE!
You should com to St. Lucia
DELICIOUS FOOD TOBAGO TROPICAL AREA
Omg, take your time David...
