PHOTO OF THE DAY: Dominican-style cooking in the United States
Dominica News Online - Wednesday, August 1st, 2012 at 9:33 AM
It is no secret Dominicans love wood fire cooking. The photographer and friend, who live in Atlanta, Georgia, could not resist the temptation of cooking a broth on a wood fire. They say it brought back many memories of Dominica.
“You can take us out of Dominica but can’t take Dominica out of us,” the photographer said.

Just looking at the picture, I knew it was a genre Paix-Bouche who did this!! Lol!
U don know gen gwambe was involved. I lit that fire cuz we keep it blazing!.
Big up to the students in china 1 time, this your boy L representing from the ATL!
We stays Optimistique!
I believe that is ATL. I was there on Sunday. Lots of red soil there, reminds me of Marigot soil. I want some of that braff, but blow that fire man, too much smoke.
juliana dat cook de broth for those optimistique, island fusion, DACA and
those neg Gran bay 
De food was salty and the fig was wavee and the dasheen was shoday.. Garcon look lyrics in Atlanta
I don’t understand people. How is this different from the smoke you get from the grill!??
If I had this much smoke in my backyard the fire dept would be knocking I wish I could do that
Lie cuz people do backyard Bar-B-Qs everyday. What part of America u live nuh?
HAHA, I know!!
Why do they have to prvoe where they are ???? For what ? you people need a life. Sit down and watch and comment whilst other people enjoying their lives.
@ neggrwnadbay
first of all there are housed built of red brick all over the us…secondly…..you trying to say there are no red bricks in DA?….
well…. come to my home
That is a nice foo yeah de fay! Bad wood. Too much Smoke.
nothing like a good food cooked on wood, tastes better and the digestions is great…. i think that people should eat a food cooked on wood at least one a month every month…
boy all u fellas not easy, all u dog see that pot is cooking in marigot!!!
Now this is what I call Dominicans to the bone. I love it. Never forget your roots man.
Hi, where in New Jersey is the August 4th picnics being kept. Also nice photo but we don’t do that in NYC. Good morning DA.
You can do that anywhere you want. What is the difference between that and the lafimeh bbq that passing. Just do it at a time when you bbqing and tell them is pit roasting.
Those doubting this is ATL be quiet folks. People all over the US cook on pits. just saturday I watch Trading Spouses and the man was roasting a whole pig on an open pit with chunks of wood in Omaha.
how are we supposed to know that it is truly in ATL…next time please include scenery to prove/confirm your location
even a house…knowing that the style of houses are different from the Caribbean
as far as i’m concerned this pic was taken in calibishie
Tiny, the red bricks should be a huge clue for u.These red bricks are mostly used in building in georgia tennesse and the carolinas,certainly not in calibishie.
Maybe the red dirt, but definitely not the red brick!
I was just thinking of that yesterday. I believe that cooking this way gives more flavour to the food. I don’t know whether it’s because everything is natural.
Big up DNO for posting my picture. We were trying to get that Dominica home feeling Sunday afternoon. Big up Optimistique family! we happy you all love the photo!
you made me jealous, nothing beats cooking on wood, thanks for being dominicans at heart.God bless
Nice try but next time, FAN DE FIRE!
Aye! sa say lavie..
Real food dat!!! Boy couple weeks back I ate a wicked broth…smoke meat, yams, fig and some cornmeal dumplings at a certain beauty in Connecticut house.Driving back from Boston to Maryland and made a quick stop to drop some stuff, before I knew it I was peeling fig. Man oh man we ate belly full. To go with that she made some kind of instant Rum punch and fruit smoothie!Lord have mercy! fellas we have to hold on to our women when they smart, pretty but can hold a kitchen down.
The whole week after I watching my wife coupay zeye wi, not even a peleau the woman want to make.
lol
Does that mean your wife not DOminican?
Well, if not – Good for you…shouldhave kept the Dominican flavour, or learn to cook your dam self…

yes Flappy was involved.. lol..
Boy them Optimistique Fellas not easy is why I like hanging with them man they real
Haha…I just knew it had to be one of you guys from Paix Bouche. Thought it was Jefferson but its Jovin…trust all you them boys from by the school…nice.
Where in ATL, I’m coming for my share..lol
Bet it’s South City guys who do dat
This! must be down South, for sure.
Of course this is the South, do you know how many violations and fines they would get for conducting this activity up North.
Au contraire, I can’t think of any place in the United States which would find the act of cooking broth on a fire illegal. Maybe some of the really large cities that have some heavy restrictions on fires, but even then, you’re usually fine with a conforming fire pit.
Hmmmmmmmm. Love it.
i like that
That is di real ting wii… Not to long ago I tell dem man in Boston we should cook a pot outside on wood ..lol nice vibes
now that just made my day.. I only get to do this when I go camping which is like once a year
