The ironic thing is that as long as we continue to bring massa here to be impressed by our food and music neither of them will reach anywhere.
With the advent of the internet the world is a pretty small place now. Trinidad, its food and its music is no secret to anyone like trinis want to believe. It's just that for whatever reason the products we are offering aren't wanted by the rest of the world.
If we want to be known for something world class such as food or music we have to make it world class and the world will come.
If you have to tell people that your food and music are world class, guess what....

Just like music artists pay lots of money to get their music to the top of the charts we have to spend lots of money in the right places for them to take notice of our food and music. Until then we're just giving 'celebrities' who don't give a rat's ass about us paid vacations.

he throwing out dem videos fast boi - will watch it later home on my tv

almost no comments here on d uncle clyde episode which i find was a authentic local experience as u can get , some bess wholesome food there & d location was wow

when tourists stop off d cruise ship here for a few hrs ent they will go by whatever within less than 1 hr hence d town & st james, they dont have time to go down central, south or far out of their way by somebody house to look for d "authentic trini food experience" , i sure they done heard of how crime is here already so they will be very cautious to go all about in a strange land especially if they dont know anybody here to take them around

what about those tourists who come by plane, foss thing they seeing is a big ass starbucks, kfc , churchs etc , ent it shuda have all local foods inside d airport as soon as they reach

imo nothing wrong with d doubles, bake n shark, roti etc cause thats what we are mainly known for & thats what foreigners expecting ...

A man like Mark should have been guided by members of the 1% and not these jokey tour guides.

I find Mark Wiens doing an amazing in-depth showcase. He is a pro at this, doing tours in every country, he knows how to dig deeper and get to more cultural things. Which is what he is doing. He covering much more than doubles and fast food which must be done anyway because that's the surface of the food experience and the catchy titles to grab people's attention from what they only heard of Trinidad.

But look at places and foods he eating. Way different to small timers food touring YouTube channels. This is why he is so successful. The man knows what he is doing on how he's editing, releasing and naming the videos. He has obviously done a tremendous amount of research as a tourist and well prepared. Again, his level of success does not come from mediocre.


edit: i now taking in the first few minutes of that last video. These mc and dem bathing ketchup and thing on the roast lobster and roast fish yes. steupsssssss. How they gonna take something so good with all that flavour and seasoning in its own juices and f*ck it up so? steupsssss

He is probably benefiting from having been bought by Ministry of Tourism as opposed to organically creating his own experience.
They would have curated the visit, organized logistics, provided fact sheets etc.
In the vids you can see "Visit Trinidad" branded shirts worn by background ppl. That's the brand managed by Trinidad Tourism Limited if I'm not mistaken.

Someone like David Hoffman who was here earlier this year would have had to do all his on his own.

But yes Mark is different level none the less.

He probably hires a company to do the editing for him.

It's just him and the wife. If you look at his very early videos he talks more about editing and how he formats his videos for different platform viewers attention span, and how he took many years to get it right and start making profit. Usually YouTube content creators do their own video editing work, unless they have a large company with a dedicated department for it like Linus Tech Tips.

He has a formal degree in arts and culture in global studies so this makes sense of how he discovered this job and created his own career and entire brand with outside the box thinking using his education but carrying it further than just sitting in an office. That's generally what higher education is supposed to do for persons who pursue it.

With the quantity of content he is producing now in such short periods of time, would be surprised if he's still editing his own content and not hiring a company. He has the money for it now.

The local vloggers accompanying Wiens have no purpose. Remove them and nothing is lost.

Baidawi was the only local contributor that added to the content. He should have been in more stuff

that bake and shark video make me swear off bake and shark. nothing about that healthy. setta black looking oil deep frying the bake. the shark full of accumulated toxins and getting deep fry too. i does avoid public condiments because that is the place to get food poisoning. aloo pie and fry shrimp in one. and they make the man carry it on the beach, food falling down all over the place making a mess

But that is the experience ppl want to see, eating bake and shark on the beach itself, not with a plastic plate in the shed. The money shot is the waves coming in with the bite.

Only thing they shudda bring a prop stray dog following him for the scraps that fall for that scene to give it more authenticity.

d roast fish & lobster looked good though no need for ketchup & excessive pepper & d guy who prolly quiet coulda speak a lil more since its not everyday u have mark wiens by ur place & u on a worldwide stage , maybe he get frighten\shy

d bush\fruits\chocolate was nice to see d countryside a lil bit

bake n shark looked good though again no need to bathe it in pepah , woulda been nice if someone held d camera for mark to fully enjoy it instead of some falling out wasting

overall another good video ...
