@5:20 All about Richard's at Maracas Beach!! Best place ever to eat a Bake and Shark!

[@karelphillips3483]

Good afternoon Kwame, all the best for the new year. This is your second cousin Karel, your grandfather's nephew. I'm the person wearing the stripped blue jersey when we were at Auntie Cheryl's.

I say that quote all the time “you do not know where your going unless you know where you’ve came from” I’m African but watching this video was so beautiful and serene. I feel so at peace watching this …very good content and shout out to all my Trini brothers and sisters . One love , One Blood 💜

[@NubianEmpress777]

Sending LOVE back to you from Trinidad. Your Trini sister. One Love. One Blood. ❤

[@josweetlove1537]

Foreign Queen Trinidad and Tobago like many Caribbean islands is heavily influenced by West African cultures among others. That why you feel so serene watching us.

Watching you experience this with your grandfather was beautiful

[@melissamohan8603]

I am from Trinidad and I give you 100% for your showcasing of our food. Really accurate presentation of the balance between Local creole and Indian food which the majority of Trinis enjoy daily. We do have lots of Chinese, Arab places etc but in terms of representing the majority of the ethnic foods , you did an excellent job.

[@sunshineandsass8031]

Well done Kwame. No wonder I felt so connected to you on top chef. You have Caribbean roots.

I lived in Laventille near the Angostura’s Bitters Company. I was born in Montreal, but I went to high school in Trinidad. I haven’t been back since I graduated from Queens Royal College…I MISS TRINIDAD SO MUCH🇹🇹 🇨🇦🇹🇹🇨🇦🇹🇹🇨🇦🇹🇹🇨🇦🇹🇹

I literally can’t wait to go back to Trinidad 🥺 I’ll be introducing my great grandma to her first great great grandchild. I miss the food and my family

[@johnnybgood1]

Can't believe it's been 25 years since I was on this beautiful Island of Trinidad. I still remember the Roti and Bake and Shark and Maracas Bay. Man, I could life of that, have to come back one day :)

[@meghanrambert3951]

As a broke form 6 students, Hotte Shop always used to be our saviour at lunch times, selling “Skin and Sauce” for TTD $5.50. It was dhalpourie with any curry sauce of our choice. You were lucky to get a single shrimp or small pieces of chicken when you ordered.

Born in Trinidad, raised in Brooklyn and this video made me so happy. I challenge you to find finer Caribbean food than in Trinidad. Our roti, doubles and bake and shark alone.....world class. Would have loved to see him try some Trini Chinese food. Chef Kwame kudos to you for celebrating and sharing the culture.

[@chanler8046]

Why do people say things like that? Of course Trinidad has the best food and I am from another beautiful Caribbean island. No need to start a competition and stay challenge, we all acknowledge that.

You only travel this earth once…. Glad to see you embrace all you can especially family while you’re here!

[@mariapoulos767]

To me, Trinidad was Royal Castle Chicken, Roti, Bake n Cheese. I grew up in Trinidad, I went to school in St. James Woodbrook. And then Bishop's. I still have family in Trinidad, and my heart belongs to Trini. 🥰😘

[@jasminespencer2872]

You cannot forget royal castle Our best local fast food

[@claudiaweber4564]

Yeah, Royal Castle is great. The first I eat, when I come, the last, before I leave!!!!!!

Gosh my country is so beautiful. The food is fantastic and I cant imagine living without eating our food every week. Wow. This video was a really nice portrayal of of our island, Thank you.

[@thepresenttruth7779]

So happy to see you embrace your heritage and I really appreciate the love you show your Grandad, you truly have that Trini blood we are loving people and thank you for showcasing out delicious Trinbagonian cuisine...

[@mauricehalfhide3982]

This was quite moving. Beautiful job Kwame.

[@RonaldRamquar]

One of the few best reviews of Trinidad and Tobago. I love that most of your stops was not the typical popular places except Sauce doubles, Hot Shoppe and Richards Bake and Shark which in my opinion is the most overrated of all. Also loved the entire connection with your family. Beautiful story and memories. Hope you keep returning.

[@DDSnags]

Bro, its been a little over 2 years since I've been back home , but man, watching you and your grandfather on this journey was something special for me , thank you for sharing it and God bless you, I think it's high time I make a trip.

[@shqa574]

Thank you for taking me on your video journey to Trinidad. I was born, and raised in Port of Spain. I am a few years younger than your grandfather. I left Trinidad at the age of nineteen. When I lived there, I went to school or to the beach. I know very little of the Trinidad countryside or Tobago. I look at these videos of Trinidad and Tobago, and am learning about the islands. I am amazed at the sights and the foods. I remember Carnival and steelband. I worked in the bank in St James for a few months after school graduation, and my school friend lived in St James. I wish your grandparents good health. I am Chinese, btw.

[@jeromegonzales2621]

I enjoyed this vlog especially your visit to Tobago with your granddad and the family reunion in D'Vale where i grew up. It is really a blessing to be able to socialize and communicate with the elders in one's family. They give you the gift of having "Roots" like no other. The roti stops were a hit with me as well but NOOOOoooo SAH!!! Hot Shoppe is NOT what it used to be, which was GOOD...once upon a time. 🤔

RESPECT MAN RESPECT YOUR ELDERS GRANDPARENTS ARE A BLESSING TO THEIR GRANDCHILDREN.

[@NavySeal6474]

Honestly speaking, Trinbagonian food is chock full of flavour. As a Trinbagonian, a friend of mine from England once told me that if I were to ever visit there, I would have to cook my own meals because English food would register as wet cardboard in my mouth because of the medley of flavours we incorporate into our dishes. I would still like to try foreign foods though. Most of them, that is.

Chef Kwame traveled to Trinidad with his "Grand Father" visiting all his relative, eating local foods and having a good time. Confessed to the Trini people that he is Trinidadian and Nigerian they loved him. Now that he is Big time, he goes on Sherri Shepard Day time show and says he is Jamaican and Nigerian. he have no pride in who he is.
