The Ultimate TRINI STREET FOOD Tour of THE CROSS in San Fernando, Trinidad!!

🇹🇹RANDALL & MELINA: / rendelina_reviews
🌎 MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG: davidsbeenhere.com/
On my last night in Trinidad and Tobago, I knew I had to go on one last nighttime street food tour! Join me as I enjoy Trinidadian street food at The Cross in Southern Trinidad!
The Cross is an amazing street that’s lined with over two dozen street food vendors! They sell everything from chicken wings to burgers to gyros.

👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/stores/davids-b...
Joining me were Rendel and Melina, a married, food-vlogging couple who run Rendelina Reviews. We started at Naldo’s Peri Peri Grill, a food truck that sells specialty burgers, hot dogs, wings, and salads. They’re famous for their peri peri wings!
I wanted some peri peri chicken and some Cajun fries! In the kitchen, I saw them making chicken wings, chicken burgers, fried eggs for the burgers, and more!
The peri peri chicken and Cajun fries looked incredible. They were covered in lots of sauces and seasonings. The chicken wings weren’t too spicy, but were smoky and a little creamy. There was some guava flavor in there, too! The meat fell right off the bone.
The fries weren’t super crispy but had a ton of amazing flavor. The Cajun spice kind of crept up on me, but it wasn’t unbearable.
Next, we headed to Irie Dawgz, which sells hot dogs and burgers. But some of these vendors also sell breakfast! In the back, we got the Big Man Ting burger, which contains a beef patty, a turkey patty, a sliced hot dog, chili, nacho chips, several sauces, and cheese!
It’s a huge, messy burger! It’s so big, you can’t share it. The patties are 5 ounces each. It’s like a mix of a burger, hot dog, and a sloppy Joe. It’s so filling and has some spiciness and a bit of sour as well! It’s the ultimate mix of Trini flavors!
Rendell also got a Big Man Ting hot dog, which is all of the same toppings on two huge hot dogs! It’s so full of flavor and the bun is super fluffy. I’m not usually a hot dog guy, but it was too good!
Next, we stopped at ‘D’ Cabin, where they were frying up tons of chicken with fries. We got two pieces of chicken with some fries. I was told it’s spicy and that they have amazing sauces!
It was very juicy and smoky, and the chicken was fresh, never frozen. Adding some tamarind sauce added a sweet and spicy element that I couldn’t get enough of. I noticed that every tamarind sauce in T&T was different!
I added some tamarind and garlic sauces to my fries, which was amazing. Then, I tried the pepper sauce, which was hot! Luckily, they brought me some water!
Next was SeaFood Boil TT, which is said to have the best seafood boils in T&T! They make a lobster with a unique butter sauce, shrimp in butter sauce, and more. They put the shrimp inside the lobster!
The shrimp were so succulent, and the butter sauce was unbelievable. The sauce had the perfect amount of spice! We followed it with the provision pie, which was sweet and starchy and made from root vegetables.
Then, we dove into the lobster, but there were still tons of shrimp inside! The lobster was super buttery. The butter sauce was unreal with it! It melted in my mouth! It was so messy and so good!
Next was Cheesecake House, where they make cheesecake milkshakes! It’s a milkshake with a whole slice of cheesecake, Oreos, and whipped cream on top!
It’s so huge and thick, you have to drink it down. Then, you dunk the cheesecake into the milkshake. Between the cheesecake, caramel, chocolate, and whipped cream, it’s ultra decadent!
At Sandough, they sell drinks. I went with a hibiscus mint iced tea. I loved the refreshing mint and the hibiscus flower flavor. The perfect way to end this tour!

David's the best along with Mark Weins. He did a very great job with this trip. Two of the best hosts: Jillian at KFC and now Rendellina. Notice how they allow David to talk, eat and really enjoy the food. Thank you Rendell for acknowledging the fact that David is a guest and you let him do his thing. Quite a vast difference to the so-called chef in the previous videos.

[@JudyT868]

To Davidsbeenhere: It appears that your trip to San Fernando was the last one. So thank you for showcasing some of Trinidad and Tobago's culture and the various delicious foods of both islands. You were very well versed and prepared and through your videos and your eyes I learned and saw a few things that I wasn't aware of since leaving Trinidad years ago. So as I always say "Vaya con Dios, amigo" and safe travels. Blessings to you and your family.
