After nearly two weeks of traveling around Trinidad and Tobago, my time in this beautiful island nation was finally at an end. But I couldn’t leave without eating doubles one last time! Come with me as I go on an epic Trinidadian street food tour and eat lots of doubles before my flight home!
Doubles are a staple in Trinidadian cuisine. They’re the ultimate street food on the island. Their base is a bara, which is a fried, golden-brown flatbread. It’s then topped with chana (chickpeas) and gravy, and sometimes various chutneys, vegetables, and meats. Then, they add another bara!

Joining me on my final Trini food adventure was my friend David from Foodie Run TT. Our first stop was Sauce Team, where they made me a doubles topped with chana, cucumber, and chadon beni sauce, which is made from culantro.
Their toppings also include tamarind sauce and roasted pepper sauce. They also sell pies and even triples! The doubles and pies cost $6 TTD, while the triples are $8 TTD.
It was so soft yet crispy, and I loved the pepper. Eating doubles gets messy, but it’s so delicious. I loved that the chana was perfectly cooked. They weren’t too hard or too soft. It’s so good, you have to lick the paper after!
Then, I watched them make an aloo pie using the same toppings. It looked delicious! After that, we drove to a doubles and pies stand on the western peninsula run by a husband-and-wife team. I was told their pepper sauce is really hot!
I’d never been to this part of the island yet. I could see lots of small towns and fishing villages.
We arrived at Western Peninsula Doubles and Indian Delicacies. There, they offer lots of chutneys and sauces, including coconut chutney, roast pepper, and masala chili.
They have one called “mother-in-law,” which contains carrots, hot peppers, garlic, and more. It looked really hot! They open at 5:30 in the morning and they’re popular, so get there early before they sell out!
I got a triples with chana, pepper sauce, coconut chutney, roast pepper, tamarind, and masala chili. There were seven condiments in total!
It was really hot. I loved the sweetness of the tamarind and the denser baras. The combination of flavors and textures was excellent. Then, we washed it down with some sorrel-tamarind juice. It was very sweet and a bit tangy!
I bought a jar of the coconut chutney and the roast pepper pepper for $30 TTD each. The people there were so nice!
Then, we headed back to a suburb of Port of Spain to a doubles place called Castro’s. It’s been open for 27 years, and at this location for 7.
My doubles came topped with chadon beni, cucumber, chana, and mango! It was hot. There was more heat than sweetness, and there were lots of vibrant colors!
The cuisine here is a wonderful fusion of Caribbean, Indian, African, Chinese, Portuguese, and Latin American. Then, we headed east from Port of Spain to Ken’s Hot Doubles and Pies in Curepe.
It’s a super popular place that’s been open for 18 years. I could see them making doubles and aloo and cheese pies. The people there were so amazing.
They gave me tons of fillings. It was very creamy and tasty. I loved the crunch of the cucumber. It was lighter in spice and sweeter!
Finally, we drove to the airport and got doubles at S. Hanif & Sons in the food court. This one was lighter than the others. The tamarind was really nice! I loved that all of these doubles were different from one another!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,300 destinations in 88 countries to experience and document unique cultures on my UA-cam channel, travel blog, and social media.
I highlight culture and historical sites, but my passion is food! I love to experience and showcase the different flavors each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining.
Where have you been?
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
You said "the best thing ever created" I wish everyone could experience the awesomeness that is Doubles.
Watching this right now, cursing David cuz I'm so ooo jealous!! I'm making some soon damnit.🤤🇹🇹

Next time someone asks what is doubles I sending them here! Well done David, for showcasing our local foods like never before!
David your Trinbago food tour was amazing. I was actually sad to see you leave!! You have done an incredible job sharing our country our food and people!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Oh yum... you just made me dribble I def have to make some soon. So damn proud of you and my sweet Trinbago . You highlighted my country in the most enticing and mouthwatering way I expected.
Thank you so much!!!!!
@@Davidsbeenhere 🇹🇹 🖐🏽 No, thank you . I enjoyed your reactions. You highlighted my country cuisine in the best way.
Ohhh David what are you doing to pple😊...its 6.30 in the morning and i want DOUBLES. Proud Trini here🇹🇹. SAUCE is the boss
Fun Fact- The "Ghost chilli" pepper, scoville level 1,041,427, was always mistakenly thought to be the hottest pepper in the world until the "Moruga scorpion" pepper, scoville level 2,009,231, was discovered in the southern part of Trinidad. It was only dethroned in recent years by a hybrid, the "Carolina reaper" pepper, 200 times hotter than a "jalapeno" pepper with a scoville level of 2,200,000. In fact, six of the top ten hot peppers in the world originated in Trinidad, here listed in order of scoville level- the Moruga scorpion, 7 pot douglah, 7 pot primo, "Butch T" scorpion, 7 pot Barrackpore, and the 7 pot Red Giant. No wonder almost everything in Trinidad and Tobago comes spicy, even the ice cream, as David would have shown us in a previous video. Nice job David!💯💥💥💥
It was only some years back I learned the name of our normal pepper is scotch bonnet . I was telling someone to add a hot petter and I was like a normal one taking for granted here it is normal bit everywhere else it is not .
@@someperson4397 The scotch bonnet is normal when compared to the scorpion pepper
Thanks for the break down of the degree of heat of the various hot peppers ,in Trinidad ,thanks for the info 👍🇹🇹 you are very knowledgeable !!
@@1845May Welcome!
So it is 2023, Carnival is around the corner. Book ur flight and make ur way to the Greatest Show on Earth David 👍👍
Yes, we are addicted to doubles- no dispute there. #trinitodebone. Safe travels, David!
btw it's not a law that you have to eat doubles in two bites. eat it however you are comfortable, i definitely do more than two bites.
I just wanted to thank you for the series you did in Trinidad. Finally back here after 21 years. I was able to show my family that never have been here the reason I fell in love with this beautiful island with your tour content. They are with me now. Loving every minute of it
Thanks

I think it's safe to say that doubles is David favorite food in trinidad
Well is that true? I love doubles too!
Yes it is addictive
Hmmm I'm doubled out. I would really like to see other staple foods!
Thank you David for highlighting our diverse food and culture. Love how you fell in love with our Doubles. Hope to see you for Trinidad Carnival 2023 🇹🇹
David - I don’t think there are enough words to express my gratitude to you for showing all the goodness Trinidad and Tobago have to offer !! Watching every one of the videos you put out the past couple weeks made me even more proud to be a Trini - most times the bad stuff is put out but you really did an outstanding job with our culture and great foods - you made me very hungry and craving a doubles - I’m in Boston and yeah you can’t get doubles here lol but I know where to go and it will be soon !!! Blessings to you and your channel - JOB WELL DONE - Your 8 days in Trinidad and Tobago was well spent !!! THANK YOU!!
So true
TT is a paradise for foodies and tourists
To Davidsbeenhere: It's always a sad time when a trip comes to an end no matter how short or long. Since this is your last vlog, I am very happy that you took David along on this doubles run. You did an absolutely fantastic job with your extensive knowledge of Trinidad and Tobago. It was fun watching you eating and enjoying the various types of food of the twin islands. You really can call yourself a TRINI now. I loved the way you ended your trip when David told you that to make it official that you had to lick the paper. Now I understand when you commented that three weeks later and you were still full. Hope you return for carnival next year - a celebration that you would surely enjoy. Safe travels and blessings to you and your family. P.S: You did yourself and Trinidad and Tobago proud.🇹🇹🇨🇦
Big up from guyana 🇬🇾 my tasty good trini food, doubles tour sooo delicious
Food is heavily influenced by India. All thanks to Indian Diasporas
What a way to end your visit...a doubles tour. You really do love your doubles! Your 101 street foods in India featured so many like ours and you visited many times..it shows your love for spicy foods👍👍. Be safe on your journeys and look forward to seeing you back to the Caribbean🤗
As a person born in Trinidad, i'm really thankful that you love our food and support us.
I’m ready to visit Trinidad 🇹🇹
Come soon and try our food it is so diverse taste great now u could go to the beaches they are all open up again when David was here they were closed due to Covid
David you are the freakin' man.. Love your content!!
I'm Filipino American and Trini food is my favorite food in the world. I always hear people talking about, where's the best pizza? Where's the best burgers? For me, It's where's the best roti, doubles, aloo pie etc. Unfortunately, I'm very limited to certain places like NYC, Toronto or London (outside of Trinidad), but I do my best.
Aloo pie with shrimp
My mouth is watering
Allyuh feed the man too much doubles 😂😂
May God continously bless you on your journey from your favorite country - Trinidad and Tobago
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Pity this series has come to an end... The lick the plate just sealed it. Awesome series 👍
Nobody come Trinidad 🇹🇹 n Tobago only once..He will be back..Thank you David..Happy you had a great time.
Thank you David for showcasing the amazing foods around my country. You have enticed me to go on foodie finds around my country. Your videos have made me extremely proud to be a Trinidadian 🇹🇹.

I recommend to those who eating oatmeal for breakfast like myself, not to watch this. You will be tempted to throw the bowl out the window!!!!
Hahaha dash the bowl, grab yuhself a doubles 😂
try some royal castle
Im super disappointed that you didnt get doubles from the south side of trinidad as there are much better in terms of flavor profile in doubles and local cusine, more creole takes on dishes and roasted seadfood from mayaro/mazanilla but great series in all
Heart felt respect for your team in Trinidad for making us understand their living style, which is easy going and cool by all standards. In my humble opinion.
We totally enjoyed your presence in our twin island republic.sad to see you go,but your food adventure continues.can't wait for what's next..safe travels David .we luv you.please visit again.
You know when a UA-cam food vlogger puts up an almost 30 mins video that it's going to be good!
Somebody call Rowley! This man need a Trinidadian Passport!!! 😎
Ture
I know this street food, my family had it all the time, and it tastes so good. I'll tell you about this street food the Trini doubles!
Doubles are common street food in this country. It is a sandwich consists of two flatbreads called bara and channa. It is good with pepper sauce, chutney etc. You will going to love it, enjoy!
Can't tell you how much we love doubles! Have to go visit Trinidad one of these days.
Thank you for bringing this series from Trinidad and Tobago. I emigrated when I was a teenager and I miss all the food you enjoyed during your trip. I was drooling throughout your series. :)
Come back for a visit food is still outstanding
David ur a true Trini after this video 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹😋😋😋😋
Doubles is the best thing ever. I now live in Connecticut and drive all the way to Queens New York for Doubles and it still isn’t exactly like back home 🇹🇹 but satisfying enough until my next trip 😋

Next time you come to Trinidad you must take a boat ride to them small islands to party, monos island etc.
🇹🇹
Hats off David, can you tell the world how to eat all that food and stay fit
Well David, thank you for visiting sweet Trinbago! Since I started following your youtube blogs a while now, I always hoped you would visit the twin islands. As a matter of fact, I think I even made mention of it when you were doing your Indian sub continent travels. You have done the islands, people and food a great service in showcasing what our pallets are like. Our people, are by far the best when it comes to hospitality and accommodation. There are no strangers from folks coming from other countries to experience our lifestyle in every which way. Looking forward to your Carnival visit, that my friend will be an even more epic 'Lime'. SATAY WELL AND BE SAFE ON YOUR NEXT COUNTRY VISIT!
I'm at the Castro's part of the video before you even tasted it
Cucumbers sometimes "waters" the doubles down, however sometimes it can be done well
PANKS doubles (corner of independence Square & Henry Street
Directly opposite churches chicken.
From 12noon-10pm *hot* doubles non stop
Competition fill the spaces to take her customers when they never tried it before
Come back soon! 😁
Glad you got to see some different sites of Trinidad and got to have your fav street foods, Thanks for coming to Tand T and doing a great job, As I said before no one has highlighted our twin islands as intensely as you have . Wishing you everthing good and stay safe.
Nah the doubles vendors never in de Airport when I arrive at midnight.
So we always have to search for a sauce vendor in Curepe at midnight. Lol ✌️ 😆
David, thank you for exploring, highlighting and showing the beautiful sites, delicious food and wonderful people of my
sweet islands T&T. I have enjoyed every minute of every video, and can't wait to visit. Thank you, thank you and thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank You David for coming to sweet Trinbago
Enjoy your future travels as much as you enjoyed here
Doubles really is the greatest street food ever!
I secound that
Lord have mercy.....So much flavours❤❤❤❤
I will miss u David. Can't wait for your other adventures
David, doubles is like Burger King, have it your way!😂 I saw you trying to be brave and take the pepper sauce and let other persons choose the sauces but you really can’t handle the heat. So although you did partake in many. I don’t think you enjoyed it as much as you should with the heat ruining it for you. You better leave that hot stuff to the locals.
David, really enjoyed this series! 🇹🇹 You captured my home beautifully. Please come back for a Trini Christmas... you need to try pastelles!
I'm sure he's had plenty pastelles in his life... His mom is Venezuelan!
Sad to see you go but i know you will come back it was wonderful to have you here thank you for your showcase of our trinidad and tobago have a safe flight and see back soon ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome come again. You could real eat you like a true Trini. We prefer belly buss than good food go to waste. Lol. But thank you for visiting you highlighted some places I must visit too. Love your vibe. Stay blessed.

Great video.....👍🏿🇹🇹
Thanks for coming David. Thanks to all who helped you immerse yourself into our culture and country.
Doubles is very famous food in Punjab named as Channa Bhatura
Doubles is way different to your Channa Bhatura, the Doubles bara is very different in texture and possibly taste. If you are in New York or Miami try it at a Caribbean/Trinidadian Roti Shop to experience it.
It’s similar but not the same
Thank you David for an amazing series on our twin island republic. Hope to see you here again soon.
Enjoyed your Trini videos
Loved loved all your vids in Trini and I'm now a fan... well done David and Trinbago! What was the 2nd doubles place name and location plz..
The One that sold the condiments in a bottle...
Omg beautiful series I am super super proud of my twin isle Trinidad and Tobago is so so beautiful beautiful people beautiful scenes omg omg David u did a EXCELLENT job thank u Mr.David u and all the other host did an outstanding job home work was done first time Trinidad and Tobago was showcased so beautiful hear nah I am so proud no words u will be missed David I could have watched more in this series omg avid fan b4 these series I have been following u ken is my boy I knew him from stella street love his doubles buying from him for years since he started on the main rd also de original sauce is my doubles when we feel for a double we just walk out the road and everything is to our access as u said David all is a different taste and texture but shadow benny is a staple here
Sunil doubles in Eddie hart still $5 and some of the best doubles to. Doubles is really a meal you can eat by 10 vendors and get a different mouth watering experience each time.
You have the 'bend' right when eating doubles. lol. Thanks for finally visiting my country. You certainly did a great job highlighting our cuisine. The only place you left out from my list prior to your visit was Papadums (small family run aunthentic Indian food joint) located in Maraval which I highly recommend. Next visit though...😊
I have not stopped thinking about doubles since my friend introduced them to me a month ago. I live in Vancouver and it's not easily found here. Such a surprisingly addictive flavour. This video makes me want to go to Trinidad just for the doubles experience! Thanks for sharing
you can go to an indian restaurant and order Chole-Bhature or poori-channa. its not the same thing as doubles, but the taste gets close enough to satisfy the craving
Hello just FYI Diego Martin is not a suburb of Port of Spain, it's located in the north of Trinidad. Please don't misinform people.
Trini's chole bhature!
