- Pholourie, Taste of Trinidad
My friends over at LTHForum beat me to the punch about Taste of Trinidad, a new spot in Rogers Park that brings the number of places in the city where you can access the food of Trinidad and Tobago up to precisely two. That the menus are almost identical might have something to do with the fact that Grand Boulevard’s excellent Cafe Trinidad is owned by the brother of ToT’s proprietor, according to Taco Scholar Titus Ruscitti. It’s hard to complain about the similarities since they’re about 17 miles apart.

Goat curry, Taste of Trinidad
There’s plenty more to explore on the menu which includes many West-Indian standards like macaroni pie (essentially mac ‘n’ cheese), curry crab and dumplings, curry chicken, jerk and curry salmon, curried stir-fries, and to drink, sorrel, ginger beer, and mauby, which may be the nonalcoholic Trini answer to Malort.
