Jamaican Stew Peas with Pigtail in New York City | Street Food

#Streetfood #newyork #Travel #cooking
A friend of mine wanted me to make stew peas, and it made me think that I haven't found a GOOD Jamaican stew peas in the city just as yet. There are a lot of Caribbean restaurants for sure but I'm looking for food that takes me home.

Just following your journey in nyc. When last I was actively watching you were in Colombia. And now you walking around my hood in bedstuy. Recognized that stroll after the gym. Keep doing your thing. I’m sure to learn something about here through their eyes. We tend to live here and not take advantage of all the thing because we are stuck in our busy lives

[@barbaranewell3838]

Going to try the recipe. Thanks 😊

[@howardradcliffe7886]

I suggest you try Nickys restaurant Flatlands on 80th. The best curry goat so far, you can cut the meat with a plastic spoon. The curry gravy is not greasy. My Pops said there's a need place on the corner of Ralph and Foster Ave, said the cook real good.

Soai, I moved to Louisville KY a few years now and one thing that's lacking is west Indian product and restaurants Love the vibe ❤

I need to try your stew peas recipe…I have a Jamaican man mi waan tie! 🤭🤣🤣 if the lovely lady said it tastes good…I know it’s good. I could tell on her face she was being genuine 😊

[@ALadeyC]

Honestly the food in Jamaica just taste fresher, cleaner, better, hands down. I’ve lived in NYC for over 25 years and yes there are places where the flavor comes close but it’s never going to taste the same as back home. You’ll be chasing the authenticity and can’t quite find it. Best thing you’re doing is cooking it yourself!

[@MissDorIsHere]

Better ingredients. Organic

[@bkfinestmark]

wow how have I not seen you around the area hahahahaha big ups man love the content. also have u tried A&A DOUBLE SPOT YET ITS LIKE A COUPLE BLOCKS DOWN TRINIDAD DOUBLES

[@WitchesBrew-vc5ww]

Most restaurants now take outs with uber etc. not eat in

[@rasjahson6261]

I had the same experience in the City. It’s hard to find the authentic flavor that you expect from a Jamaican restaurant. You can find them in D.C. and of course Florida as you already know. I would open a market with the freshest foods instead of a restaurant. It’s way too much competition when it comes to restaurants. Location, advertisement and demand is the key. You really need a nice little spot in a cut away from all the other competitors. There aren’t enough Jamaican, Caribbean in general and African markets. That would be something you should consider opening.

[@richardrobinson1909]

Funny thing I was just telling someone recently that u have lost it since u got with the other " person" because before that union I learnt so much from U on how to cook certain meals and would enjoy watching u doing what alllll adventure youtubers doing now , u were of the few that did river cooking and all back then and I sent droves of persons to subscribe, but u "lost it" glad u trying to find back Your roots bro

Your food look better and restaurant

[@shernpin2]

Its true!! I cannot remember where but my friend took me, to a Jamaican restaurant in Brooklyn. It was horrible. It's the same thing here in Canada they cannot cook. I don't really eat out like that anymore . I cook my own damn meal. I love stew peas with pig tail and salt beef with white rice, not rice and peas. A few Jamaican restaurant that's still holding the name Jamaican restaurants and the food taste good in Canada. Dem can't cook. I'm not a chef but I can cook because like you I know great food.

[@gcbwoods]

Even the lunch box menu are getting more expensive now. It's hard to pay for something you can already make

[@judithwilliams174]

Do you know how to salt your own pig tails? Nice if you can do a vlog on it please.🎉

[@SOAIVLOGS]

I know how to but it's where to get whole pigtail that isn't already cured

[@judithwilliams174]

@@SOAIVLOGS You'll have to video a butcher doing it. Takes a few pig tails. It didn't occur to me 🤦🏾‍♀️😂😂

Word

[@DENDAINTY]

If your in the Bronx… try out my dads resturant called EATING TREE. It’s near the yankee stadium. Tell him Denika “ DenDen” sent you😉. Let me know if you go and I’ll have him prepare something for you.

[@boblloydoc8869]

I am in full agreement with you. Many of these Jamaican restaurants in New York wouldn’t last a day in Jamaica. They simply cannot cook. They put sugar and salt in everything 😧😧😧

[@malvo1196]

Totally agree, the jamaican food is trash af! There is an amazing one here in Brooklyn. Silver Crust is the name right on Utica Ave between Clarkson and Winthrop. I heard there is another location somewhere but this is the one I'm vouching for cause dem nuh miss.

[@mellotheone]

Go to Queens the restaurant name is Spring Gardens thank me later

[@nush295]

If you want authentic home cooked Jamaican food you’re not going to get it from Simpsons. Thats more of an upscale Jamaican cuisine. Good Hope restaurant located on Flatbush and Ave J. Best stew peas. Also Golden Krust located on Church Ave 💯

[@SOAIVLOGS]

Thanks

[@swaggmaster87]

Look up tropical jerk you’ll find authentic food there with real chefs str8 from yaad

[@shawngrant1537]

Because a lot of people Jamaican cook home,other people buy Jamaican food eg Americans

[@rickflint3710]

Steven have you been to The Door ?

[@natasha1474]

👍 yep that restaurant is in my area. I love The Door

[@yaadmadegaming]

I've watched many people try Jamaican food but I've never seen a non Jamaican eating Stewed peas. They try everything except that.

[@paulthreeleven384]

Was in Chicago last week and found out that the Jamaican restaurants there don't like to serve white rice, at least the 3 that I stop at .Now if a Jamaican restaurant say they don't serve white rice the trap question for them should be what you serve with stew peas ? I ask this question at the last one and was told WE DONT COOK STEW PEAS!!! Jesus Christ ! Never thought I'd hear that in my life . Lady let me know Jamaicans hardly visits is mostly Black Americans . Al 3 restaurant food was excellent.

[@Jammin1288]

Jamaican food in Chicago mostly caters to Black Americans which is why it’s not authentic. I hardly ever ate Jamaican food when I lived there.

[@paulthreeleven384]

@Jammin1288 Yes it's true that they cater to mostly Americans but that doesn't make the food not authentic . Of one of the restaurant I patronize the lady at the counter said I was the only Jamaican in there for a week. Ordered curry chicken white rice..We don't serve white rice I was told...Change order to jerk chicken rice and peas and I was served one of the best jerk chicken nicely plated seasoned good , fresh vegetables in separate plate and a slice of bread (Yankee dem spoil bad)

[@Kingstonian1G]

@@paulthreeleven384 Nah go lie mi like my Curry Goat with Rice & Peas 😂…Curry Chicken should always be with white rice tho

[@Kingstonian1G]

The shops are empty because the elder Jamaicans failed at Franchising. They did not understand Business… and allowed their greed to create a lack of trust from the US Market in terms of Quality Control & Food Safety. Golden Krust is the only successful Jamaican Franchise in the world. Florida has the best Jamaican food right now. NYC started using cheap ingredients.. rent is too high bro. There are a few hidden gems still. “Fisherman’s Cove” on Church Ave in Brooklyn has decent jerk chicken. “Rock Island and Grill” in Queens is Jamaica quality. Not familiar with The Bronx, but they should have some good spots there also.

[@ResetSetting]

Bro who is guiding you ? The Jamaicans are uptown! Waay upntown the North east section of the Bronx . From Gunhill rd to 241st going into Mt vernon (the number 2 train line. They call that little Jamaica 🇯🇲 . TONS OF Good jamaican food

I visited my Vernon and tried a few places up there, will post soon
