Eddie's Rib Van

Barbados


The empty car park looks like the kind of place where you'd go to buy weed, but parked in the middle is a large industrial truck with the sides cut out serving the island's best ribs. Eddie also serves chicken and fish, but the crowds come for the huge servings of barbecue ribs, which come on a bed of fries.

There are no tables, chairs or even bathrooms – folks either take it home or chow down right there in their cars. Come early – once the van sells everything, it goes home.
