I just love the run in with the couple at the restaurant. Happy to see you’re doing something in Florida. I can come down and try some of your recommendations. I miss my Caribbean food. Haven’t found the good one here in Fort Myers yet. Still searching.

[@Davidsbeenhere]

You definitely need to try them out, especially that mofongo! I wish I knew more about Fort Myers to help you out!

[@lorrainecross9594]

I like this place. Well presented, looks clean and the food looks good 👏 🇯🇲 ❤

[@MyFullFiguredLife]

Great video!! I def need to try some of these spots the next time I’m there. I wish you would’ve tried more authentic Haitian dishes. It seems she has adapted her menu to include things from other cultures and that’s what she served you. Only thing really Haitian was the fried plantain, pikliez and the macaroni au gratin. You def should have tried some black rice with sauce. Best thing in the world.

[@newyorkapple6192]

Myfullfiguredlife: EXACTLY!!!! This restaurant is owned by a Middle Eastern man if I’m not mistaken. David needs to be going to AUTHENTIC HAITIAN RESTAURANTS! There’s NUMEROUS in Miami alone! We don’t have ANY CURRY dishes in our culture NOR JERK. This video is a let down big time!

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Fair points but regardless Naomi's Garden is highly regarded in the area so I think it does fit here. Similarly, I wouldn't say Versailles is a deep dive into Cuban culture in Miami. This is more of a video about the different people in Miami, and a brief overview of the food since we did 5 different cuisines. We are releasing an entire series on the various cuisines of Miami that will far surpass this one over the next couple months. A lot of this is about the people and their stories and less on cuisine deep dives. That said we already have filmed our next Haiti in Miami video which will be out shortly and really shows the good Haitian Food of Miami. Stay tuned!

[@jayc3614]

I felt the guyanese breath leave him when he said the patties were really good. I understand the emotion totally because i miss it so much

[@LordLOC]

Those patties, come on David. Now, to be fair. I do live not that far away from that Jamaican Kitchen joint, I could probably take 2 or 3 buses there (I'm in South Broward, so a bit north of where they are). I'd go there just for the spicy beef patties and that chicken curry patty. Also that fried rice - Jamaican Chinese is very underrated, even if there aren't that many unique dishes to that specific sub culture of Chinese. But jerk fried rice?! Sign me up. And that Haitian spot, looked so good also. wow.

That jerk fried rice looked amazing. Boriquas used to make mojo as a condiment for mofongo and other dishes. Nowadays, you get mayo ketchup. I guess cause it's easier to make.

[@ridleyarsa7801]

I really like how David always represents my country SURINAME 🇸🇷 with that hot sauce..🤌🇸🇷

[@xman933]

Our Guyanese friend got it wrong😉 It’s curry chicken, not chicken curry. Curry is the spice that you seasoning the chicken with and describes what you’re doing to the chicken. Similarly jerk chicken describes the seasoning you’re applying to the chicken with jerk seasoning. Chicken curry suggests your are infusing the curry with chicken flavor and that the opposite of what the intention is. In any case curry chicken, chicken curry, curry shrimp or shrimp curry all end up tasting delicious😋

[@carolkeise3847]

@leslie-j9ig 😅 That’s exactly how I’d describe it - curry as an adjective. Curry is describing the way the chicken has been done. Hence curried/curry chicken. Enough of that! Would love to taste the 🥵Spicy Macaroni, the Mofongo with all the secrets…, looks delicious. Also Chinese Jamaican fried rice. It’s hard to get authentic delicious patties, most times I’m disappointed with them. However, there is a man in (a little shop) Edmonton, London UK who makes the most delicious Ackee and Salt Fish patties.💖😘
