In the summer of 2022, my good friend Chef Jason Peru—one of the top chefs in Trinidad and Tobago—and his girlfriend, celebrity hairstylist Candice Mohan, came up to my hometown of Miami for a few days. So, naturally, after they’d shown me around Trididad and Tobago, I knew I had to take them to my favorite spots in Miami! Come with us on my full 96-hour food journey with Chef Jason Peru in Miami!
Our first stop was at 107 Taste, a spot in West Brickell that offers Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai cuisine. After meeting Vanessa inside and watching them make everything from shrimp pad thai to tteokbokki to tonkatsu ramen in the kitchen, it was time to dive into our Asian fusion feast!

We started with the fluffy, freshm and tender Chinese braised pork buns, which soaked up all the soy sauce! Next was a spicy and fermented kimchi, a velvety and savory Takoyaki, and a creamy pad Thai with lots of sprouts! The tteokbokki was glutinous, dense, spicy, creamy, and a little sweet, while the bibimbap was nice and filling!
I also loved the refreshing taro boba, the hot Hell’s ramen, the crispy tempura shrimp, and the decadent Zombie Cake and Nutella crepe cake!
Next, we headed over to Naomi’s Garden for some Haitian food! The spinach stew was creamy and legume (veg stew) were flavorful veg dishes, and the jerk chicken was ultra tender! I also couldn’t get enough of the oxtail, spicy cabbage salad, baked chicken epis, the grainy mayi kolé, and the fried plantains!
The spaghetti with andouille and hot dogs was great, as was the fried grouper filet!
At BBQ & Craft Company in Brickell, we dove into dry rub wings, dinosaur beef ribs, New York strip, pork chop, crispy St. Louis ribs, deviled eggs, mac & cheese, fingerling potatoes, and heirloom carrots. The smoky wings and caramelized St. Louis ribs blew my mind, while the dinosaur beef ribs were straight out of a meat lover’s dream.
I loved the rich mac & cheese, the brisket, and the pork chop with apple chutney. The chocolate pecan pie, Nutella banana pudding, and salt caramel whiskey were also rich and flavorful!
Our final stop was a Sergio’s, one of the top Cuban restaurants in Miami. The chicharron there is meaty, juicy, and crispy. I loved the two croquetas, which were both golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside.
The tequeños are the perfect fried cheese stick, while the pandebono is an amazing Colombian cheese bread. The buttery pastel de guayaba is the perfect sweet treat, while the empanada de carne molida and empanada de pollo were flaky, golden brown, and packed with delicious filling.
The empanada de espinaca had tons of spinach inside. But the Cuban sandwich, pan con bistec, Abuela French toast, and tortilla egg omelet took the cake. I loved the thinly-cut steak in the pan con bistec and the roasted pork, ham, and gruyere cheese in the Cuban sandwich.
The bananas, nuts, toasted coconut, and guava syrup in the Abuela French toast blew me away. The sweet guava syrup and toasted coconut took it to a whole new level!
And that’s my 96-hour food adventure in Miami with Chef Jason Peru and celebrity hairstylist Candice Mohan! I hope it inspires you to hit up some of these amazing spots the next time you come to Miami!

Hi David 🙂
I watched 101 Indian street food and thought it was my favorite until I view for this video. I love it!! The food was well presented, and It looked appetizing. Kimchi looks fresh (one of my favorites). All the dishes look favorable and mouth-watering. I was drooling. The dessert selected looks simple yet homely. Foods of heaven indeed!!! What a fantastic, engaging documentary. I am always hungry for more.
🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥😋😋😋😋👍🙏🏼🙏🏼
HALLO DEVID AND FRENd
WE ENJOY AND ADMIRE YOUR INSPIRING VIDEOS *
YOU HUMAN SLAVES LEAVE YOUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN BEHIND SAME LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS DID
TO FIGHT BOGUS WARS AGAINST YOUR FELLOW SLAVES FROM BEYOND THE FICTIONAL LINES CALLED NATIONAL BOUNDARIES
FOR THE SAME ARCHONS WHO RULE ALL YOU HUMAN SLAVES WHO HAVE PARTIES AND ORGIES TOGETHER WHILE YOU IGNORANT SLAVES TERMINATE ONE ANOTHER
Kim Chi made in Tokyo? 😜😆👊
1:10:14 On everything I love that bite made me jealous LMFAO
Loved this episode but for goodness sake, (during the Haitian segment) why were you all speaking over the food much less with no masks on? It was cringeworthy watching, especially since that food is being served to the public. We’re still in a pandemic. I’m glad Haitian cuisine was highlighted because it’s underrated. I’m Guyanese born but raised in NY and had many Haitian friends growing up and I miss that food now living in N. Florida 💜
Great episode – love the genuine bond Chef Jason has with David and their love of food 😍
jokey chef jason
That's the funniest thing 🤣 David says he wants to jump in there…the lady looked at him 🤣 like he is crazy wanting to jump in a boiling pot of ox-tail…lmao hahaha…poor trini chef is struggling with his English and shadow-bennie…lol…this world is nice..different people different views, foods,language, ethnic, cultures, practices..life is about living it…nice nice…I always encourage people of their "content"..Beautiful
