Where has the best Gyros/Burgers/ Street food in T&T?

[Slartibartfast]

For now, the place after MTS plaza in aranguez take win, the flavour is down to the bone.

Halaal Kitchen

The chicken real bess and the sauces just make it better. The only thing I can't stand is the coleslaw. Thing sweeter than a red solo. Waaaaaaay too much sugar.

[Slartibartfast]

worcestershire sauce
tomato paste/ tomato sauce /tomato
salt
black pepper
garlic
paprika
chili powder
maybe some cayanne pepper
as some basic ingredients
there are others

sauce needs to be simmered not jsut mixed in a pot and heated up

sauce needs to have a thick consistency so it stays on the meat and not just drip down but it can be too thick like a paste either


sauce should be applied when the meat is almost fully cooked
so it jsut needs to caramalise on the meat and then its done

sauce only needs to be applied once to the meat

if its a basting sauce then that needs to be thinner and applied to the meat at least 4 times during th cooking process

this can consist of the juices left back if the meat was steamed

Serious question to a man that clearly know his BBQ. Can we be friends? No homo. I'll be like one of those really good but distant friends that only come over to eat and then leave right afterwards. Good low maintenance friendship here. Just a couple pokes of fb every now and then to let me know you still alive and thing.

But seriously though, take a look people, this is the right way to BBQ

^^actually........it is quite interesting that you would say that because there is a debate on the difference between grilled chicken and BARB-B-QUE chicken. Do you care to point out the difference for me?

If you use gas to cook then it's considered grilling. If you use wood/coal to cook then it's BBQ. With BBQ you get that smoky woody flavour if done properly that grilling just can't touch, no matter how good the cook is.

Most commercial BBQ places are actually grilled. Kind of annoying.

i might get flame for this eh but.. i actually like "Eat It".

There's a place called Darryl's in Pepper village (near avocat/fyzabad). His food tastes good!

Yeah, Darryl's Homestyle good as well, nice vibes there.

Most food place tbh

[rabiesebola]

its the phase (and sometimes fate) of all business. you start off good to get customers den wen tings nice u focus more on quantity than quality as u tink more supply more sales. doesnt always work. but food shud always be topper top. i mean is ppl belly u messing with. u know how many doubles ppl i salt cuz of shitttttttings?

You can get a good bbq of a gas grill with smokey flavour. Its about a balance of cooking temperature turning frequently and use of smoking chips

[SR]

There is no commercially available bbq on the market in trinidad and tobago that tastes good mostly because its being done in bulk for profit while some places dont even have a clue as to how the meat is supposed to be cooked and seasoned......some use very little seasoning and others are over seasoned with green seasoning...some are too salty others lack salt some are undercooked and most over cooked there is a difference between having a slight char over beung bunup

[pete]

Also, Trinidadians have gotten accustomed to that style of BBQ so may not even like "real" BBQ flavour.

Kinda like ketchup.

Boil-B-Q

[Slartibartfast]

Places I don't understand how ppl could put ketchup

1. BBQ Chicken (This is actually a sin to use ketchup when BBQ sauce present, it in the commadments)
2. Pizza
3. Any kind of pasta
4. Eggs
6. Rice... yes you heard me... f$*%in' rice. Everytime I go to a chinese place I see people dousing their oil rice with ketchup and I only wondering why I never see anybody put ketchup on rice at home.

[- Rovin's car audio -]

dont get me started on "ketchup" , NONE of d local ketchup is anything near what ketchup is supposed to be like

its artificial watered down food coloring crap that runs out of d bottle or worst yet ah bag without any effort

anytime i buy food outside i deliberately dont use any of their "ketchup" but wait til i reach home & use my heinz which at least resembles ketchup


got to admit yrssss ago i used to put a lil ketchup on chinese food then i get sense & realized it tastes alot better without it ....

[black start]

iirc it had a ched about trinis and condiments, I think it boiled down (like many a bbq I've tasted) to freeness!

Cost cheaper too,plus you can make your own side of your likening.Buy food is a once in awhile thing,not to be a every weekend thing in my view.

[SmokeyGTi]

Forgot to mention...it have a guy who sells on the road behind KFC in Montrose.. Allyuh need to taste his food!

Back in the day it used to have a fella obliquely opposite gateboys in Uwi. I think it was Smokey's barbeque. His bbq was divine. Is that the same gateboys bbq that ppl speaking of now?

[black start]

Smokey's still there opposite gateboys

[pugboy]

Commercial bbq places typically simmer the chcken in a pot with seasoning and sauce then
Grill on demand until carbonization is achieved.

Ali's used to be ok, the old guy would have the chicken on the grill longer than most and not burnt.
Their potato salad was pretty good too. Havent been there in a while though.

Hoseins requires a dcarbonizing kit.

[Trini Hookah]

Smokey's still there opposite gateboys

Smokeys does lash dan. His mac salad does be lil warm sometimes doe lol
