my god that lobster looked incredible. I need to get down to the DR asap. another incredible video Mark, you are truly the GOAT.
Carribean food is one of the most underrated food in the world. Thank you Mark for sharing this hidden gem with us
i am dominican and i was waiting for this for years.
Loved your video, but sadly I need to remind people that in the Dominican Republic the parrot fish is a protected species, it’s in danger because our fisherman have overfished them for years, they’re responsable of the production of the white sand that has given us our beautiful beaches and they’re almost extinct because of our fisherman’s negligence!!!
Thanks for visiting my neighbors, I'm from Puerto Rico but live in NY now. When I go see my family I at least take 2-3 days to visit DR. Such amazing people and great food. Thank you Mark, young Micah and Hi Ying!
The co-host too busy to eat and almost say nothing 😂
I truly appreciate how Mark shows such deep respect for the culture, especially when it comes to the food. It's genuinely heartwarming to see.
Almost a perfect video, however the parrot fish is banned year round. You would think the restaurant owner knows better after 25 years 😢
🇩🇴Dominicans are happy people, always smiling
Moises is clear on what he is here to do- EAT! 😃😄
