Miss. Delicious #67 : Visiting Señor Frogs in Bahamas!

in #food7 years ago

Dear Steemit Friends:

"You go to Señor Frog’s when you're on vacation, if you want to get crazy and nobody knows you,"

These are the exact words from the Chief Executive, David Krouham to Forbes Magazine.

With picture perfect holiday resorts, and immaculate white sandy beaches stretching as far as the naked eye can see, the Bahamas is a really fantastic option for those wishing to get that true vacation experience. Particularly if you like the lounging around, being lazy, soaking up sun on the beach kind of vacation.

As I've mentioned before, it is actually quite difficult to find many examples of true Bahamian authentic food, in and around these massive resort complexes which are primarily built for tourists like myself from all over the world. As a result, there are actually more options for western food lovers than there are local Bahamian delicacies.

Having exhausted all the food options at Atlantis, I asked the hotel staff to recommend me a cool place to eat, their reply - Señor Frogs!

I must admit, I didn't even understand what they said at first, I only recognised the word"frogs". The word, Señor sounded like the word "senior" (close enough!), so I left the hotel reception and went straight to the taxi stand all the way repeating the words "senior frogs" so I wouldn't forget where it was I wanted to go!

So, this is what Señor Frogs is like, I finally understood Señor to mean Mr. in Spanish. And what a cute name for a frog?

For those that are unfamiliar with the restaurant, Señor Frogsis a Mexican-themed franchise which opened in 1989 and today has 21 restaurants spread throughout Mexico, the Caribbean, South America and the United States. Even though they are considered a 'Quick service restaurant', Señor Frogs has grown it's reputation for being a place to drink a lot of alcohol, and party like no tomorrow!

I had absolutely no idea what to expect at Señor Frogs as this was my first ever visit. But I was really impressed with the easily recognisable frog(s) standing outside. They along with the beautiful sea view make for a really memorable location already!

This is Woodes Rodgers Walk, just a few minutes walk away from down-town Nassau. Along this street there are plenty of other bars, clubs and restaurants.

In the distance, you can see the huge cruise ship parked in the dock. It was probably stopping just for a few hours to let the people on board go for a roam around down town Nassau before taking off to the seas again.

You might be wondering what the men sitting on the wall are doing? Well aside from enjoying a splendid night time view of the huge cruise ship, they're actually waiting for passengers for taxi rides back to their hotels.

How do I know? In Bahamas, taxi's have yellow car plates as opposed to white ones!

This is the entrance to Señor Frogs, stopping at nothing to remind us of their affiliation with Frogs, there are already three frogs at the entrance!

For some reason, there was also this really high stool outside the entrance. It's far too big for me and any regular sized person (Ok, I'm a bit smaller than a regular sized person -.-) so I must assume it's for the giant frog next to the swing.

See how big that giant frog is!?

Here's me standing next to it for a comparison.

Walking inside, I realise that this part of the bar restaurant is actually built atop of a pier. The creaky wood planks and the overhanging view of the sea give this away.

On the left hand side, is the Señor Frogs souvenir store, selling lots of T-shirts and other Señor Frogs branded merchandise. It's quite nice seeing the restaurant and bar already buzzing with life, many groups of people already sitting down and enjoying a drink and a meal.

Further inside, the decorations are really quite eye catching. Each of these boards have their own little catch phrase and are attached to the ceiling at neck bending angles. No wonder my neck was sore the next day..

"I see drunk people!"

Aside from the comic boards, there are also these cheeky stools which are made to make the person sitting on it look like they're wearing a G-string and showing their big booty's!

See what I mean about the neck bending boards??

The DJ has his own little hut to work the music. By this point, the atmosphere had already started to pick up and there were some people already on the dance floor.

Despite the rowdy background atmosphere, the beauty of the sea and ocean liner fails to get drowned out.

Now, onto the food!

The Menu.

As a Mexican restaurant, I wasn't surprised to find a wide variety of Tacos, Fajitas and Burritos. If you're feeling boring, you can still opt for the more typical Burgers and Sandwiches.

Perhaps the most appealing part of Señor Frogs is their cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. According online sources, Señor Frogs makes about 75% of their revenues from sales of alcoholic beverage. Frequently running drinking contests alongside theme parties where "anything goes" and guests are encouraged to go wild.

Señor Frog house special sounds like a good choice for a cocktail, for some reason I really like cocktails with pineapple juice.

Caesar Chicken Salad - The generous portion I have come to expect in this part of the world!

Buffalo Chicken Wings!

Bahamian Mexicans sure know how to make good Chicken Wings!

So juicy, so succulent and so delicious!

So, with the food and drink out of the way, I was already feeling a little tipsy so I stayed just a little longer to enjoy some of the party atmosphere then made my way back to the hotel.

I can't say for sure whether this Señor Frogs is like the ones you'll find in the US, but if it is, it gets a huge thumbs up from me!

Hope you enjoyed my tour of Señor Frogs in Nassau, Bahamas. Even though it wasn't the local Bahamian delicacy I constantly yearned for, it was still a really nice evening. Great atmosphere, lovely food, and a memorable experience!

As always, I appreciate your up-vote, a follow if you want to stay up to date with my activities and leave a comment to let me know what you think!


来到拿骚几天了,由于每天行程排的很满,大部分休息时间,都驻扎在房间的书桌上,整理照片,写文章,回留言。今天我想安排自己去拿骚的市中心逛逛,顺便和大家探索一下不一样的美食餐厅。选择Señor Frogs——青蛙先生这家餐厅,是被当地热心人推荐的,后来我了解了下餐厅的背景。原来这家餐厅不仅是在拿骚非常有名气,更是在墨西哥,加勒比,南美洲和美国分布着20多家分店。餐厅主要经营墨西哥料理。其实在市区逛的时候,这家餐厅的装潢十分抢眼,最有海岛代表的鲜艳颜色,红绿黄是外墙粉饰的主色调,整个房子的亮丽色彩,可谓是拿骚岛上的颜值担当呢。所以我也忍不住坐在门口的椅子上,和餐厅的主人,穿着绅士的青蛙先生合个影。

傍晚的拿骚港口彩虹般的灯光亮起来。港口边的街道,白天虽然静悄悄,但是晚上灯红酒绿,放着欢快海岛音乐的酒吧让这条街格外热闹。现在就跟着我走近青蛙先生的餐厅,探索一下特色美食,美酒和热情的音乐。进餐厅之前,我爬上餐厅门口的高架椅子留个脚印,真正坐在上面了,还真觉得有点恐高的呀。餐厅里已经座无虚席,家人朋友聚在一桌,快乐的聊天。餐厅内部的装修也延续了鲜艳色彩的风格,屋顶上一些英文笑话的木板,吸引了我,非常有趣。另一大亮点要算作餐厅的椅子了,做成了女生屁股形状,男生们坐上去,就变成了穿着性感内裤的lady,好好笑呢。餐厅的中央有个小舞池,年轻的男女们,围在一起唱歌跳舞,玩着喝酒游戏。我很想加入,只是要先填饱肚子再说。这家餐厅的地理位置绝佳,就在港口边上,能听见海浪的声音,也能看见流光溢彩的轮船。我选择了风景最好最靠海边的位置坐下,服务员热情递上菜单,菜单也做得五颜六色,像贺卡一样。

菜单上食物的分类非常细致,每一道都很想尝试。我点了一杯菠萝搭配椰汁的鸡尾酒,不知道为什么,我一直对椰汁特别钟爱。香喷喷的菜上来了,鸡肉沙拉的分量超级足,可以够3个人一起分享。吃起来也非常新鲜,鸡肉很软很嫩。接下来上来一份烤鸡翅,味道和我平时所吃的不太一样,好像加了特别的佐料,这大概是墨西哥餐的特色。沾了酸甜带点微辣的酱汁,一块接一块,吃的停不下来。美食美景配上,非常有节奏感的音乐,欢快的人们跳着欢快的舞蹈,我都不愿意离开了。希望大家喜欢今天我带大家体验的青蛙先生餐厅,感受海岛餐厅的狂欢夜,之后还有更多有趣的拿骚故事想要分享给大家。

For some reason I thought you were having/eating frog legs xD

A must see tourist attraction when on vacation, they even have one in Vegas now where I live!

For those of you familiar with Vegas, this is where the former Treasure Island Pirate Show took place. Notice the ship is still there...

Hello @sweetsssj
About bahamas and what to do
Make sure you have a U.S. passport for all travelers. Nassau Paradise Island is one of the few Caribbean destinations that provides pre-clearnace for U.S. Customs and Immigration sevices. That means it allows flights from Nassau airport to enter the U.S. as domestic flights and bypass the normal U.S. Customs clearance like on other international destinations.
The history and culture of The Bahamas is a blend of Spanish, British and African which makes up the heritage. The islands are filled with tales of Spanish invaders and some famous pirates; visit the Pirates Museum of Nassau to learn more about this storied history. There are several museums in downtown Nassau that teach about the early settlers as well as art museums. This blend of culture is apparent in the music and musical festivals. Junkanoo is a costumed, musical festival that takes to the streets in song and dance and takes place twice a year around Christmas.
Shopping on the islands is abundant and duty free! You can purchase handmade crafts, jewelry, handbags, hats and woodcarvings at the world's largest Straw Market in downtown Nassau and also Festival Place by the cruise ship dock and at the Craft Centre on Paradise Island. Both are filled with unique merchandise that makes great one of a kind gifts. Of course, you will find upscale jewelry, perfumes, leather bags, high-end fashions along Bay Street in Nassau and at Marina Village and Crystal Court Shops on Paradise Island.
Swim with dolphins and sea lions, snorkel or dive the brilliantly colored coral reefs, coral walls and wreck dives. There is as much beauty under the water as there is above. Take a romantic horseback ride along the surf, charter a sailboat and hook a sailfish or yellowfin tuna. Tee off at a USGA or PGA quality golf course, take the kids to the first and only zoo in the Bahamas feed colorful parrots and see marching flamingos.

If you're a "foodie", than plan on visiting the many gourmet and casual restaurants in Nassau, Cable Beach and Paradise Island. Restaurants are located in the hotels and resorts, at Marina Village, Cable Beach and downtown Nassau. You can't leave without trying some real, authentic, Bahamian food. Arawak Cay hosts the Fish Fry and there are several "shacks" on Potters Cay, which is on the Nassau side of the bridge, and also by the cruise ship docks that sell homemade conch salad, fritters and more. Not expensive and they give you quite a bit of food.

Finding accommodations is easy too. You'll find everything here from quaint inns to grand resorts.

Whether you're traveling with kids, a large group or just a romantic getaway for two, Nassau Paradise Island has something for everyone. And, it's only a 55 minute flight from South Florida, Ft. Lauderdale or Miami, airports. And a 2 1/2 hour flight from New York City. It's so close, and so easy to get there, why go anywhere else?!

@hirennamera thanks for providing detailed info on Bahamas...I am sure that it will add value to @sweetsssj and to most members here , including me , looking at Bahamas for my next holiday destination. Thanks for your comment and keep steeming.

Thank you for this summary hirennamera, that's a very comprehensive summary you've made there. Worthy of a blog post on its own!

I'm really impressed that you started to upvote your replies from your followers. How nice and giving of you.

Now, could you upload a video in English for all of us so we know that you're not a complete phony?

https://steemit.com/steemit/@randompic/sweetsssj

I think there is also some BOTS who upvote her.

There is one man who takes photo
One man who makes comment
One man who makes articles
And she.

I think

I think she is just their model who can't speak any English.

hahah dont worry! I am working on getting @sweetsssj a passport! I just have to convince her to Marry me first LOL She is the perfect steemit dream girl! She can upvote ALL your posts every morning when u wake up next to her! lol but seriously tho, steemit would be the ultimate dating website! And I think we all like to fantasize about getting to travel with her and live a luxury lifestyle ! PLUS if you got to be featured by her, your post would get to the frontpage! hahaha "he only married her for her steempower" lol "
or "yeah after the Divorce, she wanted HALF of my steempower! the judge ordered me to power down!"
hahaa

Great in-depth report on Bahamas. Love it! Can't wait to go there when I am island hopping!

This is a bunch of BS. She is just a payed model and can't even speak English as far as anyone knows. Its probably some freelance writer replying to us, not her.

https://steemit.com/steemit/@randompic/sweetsssj

Some of us from early in Steem.it know Sweetsssj when she was first starting out. Obviously her blog has grown and with the attention that it gets, it's little wonder that it has become more professional.
I for one enjoy her blog, and support her growing success.

You would do well to improve your own blog.

My blog is what it is, its me, all by me and no hired coders or anything like that. If I did do that, I would at least be honest about it if someone asked me.

Unbelievable that a few Steemit bullies flagged my comment above.

For what reason? And they left no message why like the Steemit Etiquette Guide says to do. The guide also say snot to flag a post because you don't agree with it. There has to be a legitimate reason.

These are all being forwarded to some whales who either wrote the Steemit Etiquette Guide or are upholding it.

And one of the members who flagged this has been reported to the police for assault and cyberbullying and may be in a lot of trouble. Cyberbullying is a serious offense.

JUST have a life dude @ramdompic..just stay positive ,she's used more resources to make her blog nice and perfect..just used her as inspiration on whats shes doing..don't let her down..just be have you own blog signature and make good motivation on yourself on how to express yourself by your blog and take note that every positive ways of perception in life to others it will reflect to you too.^_^

Very cute frog!

Really a lovely place. Now I would like to drink a cocktail and eat some french frites. U do a great job on steemit. Always worth an upvote.

Thank you hw-enthusiast, its funny how french fries always taste good right??

Thank you @sweetsssj for this post especially because my wife went there and it was nice to see it quickly on the inside in such beautiful detail in your photos and story here!

Oh wow, that's such a coincidence, did you not join her??

I did not because she went with just her mom and sister!

Next time, try go with her. You deserve a break and some wild fun buddy. Come to Germany for a cold beer @jerrybanfield and original German Bradwürst . Lets stay in touch.

@jerrybanfield the place is quite amazing and @sweetsssj gave an excellent explatnation of the location...I was just wondering if they missed the frog delicacies..a once in life time experience. You guys are amazing, lets stay in touch.

This is BS.

@sweetsssj, could you upload a video in English for all of us so we know that you're not a complete phony?

https://steemit.com/steemit/@randompic/sweetsssj

Awesome, I was reminded of Cancun...went to a Senor Frogs there, it was just as you say rowdy and wild, and lots of fun, I think we had good go at the cocktails, as we actually crashed the rental Jeep in the parking lot, noone was hurt... and we ended up taking a cap back to the resort ... came back the next day to pick up the rental lol ...

oh gosh that sounded like a wild party before the actual party, but I'm guessing you guys had a really good time anyway!

We had a great time, Cancun was pretty awesome !

Who is Ned? The producer/photographer/road manager?

You said you travel with your "mum"

Hey! Fellow investigative reporter here! Please let us all know who this Ned person is when you find out.

This might help.


Hi, thanks, I already found out though. Hopefully he can clear all of this up.

We are still waiting for @sweetsssj to put out a video in English. I'm surprised the hasn't done it yet so she can clear this up. Maybe she has to practice first.

How about YOU put out a video of YOURself
how about you stop asking steemit users to prove shit they dont ned to prove to you ro anyone?
"hoepfully he can clear all of this up"

how about youstop accusing this young woman of being a "model" just because she happens to be beautiful enough to be a model....u act like she also cant speak english when i just had a fucking english conversation with her ......she talks to HUNDREDs of peoeple a week....
the reason ur not getting any responses from her here is because everyone has muted you ..(except me) since someone has to call you and your idiot friends out

Thank you for your input.

Could you ever imagine In Your Wildest Dreams you'd be making thousands of dollars for each one of your blog posts? I'm not hating At All by the way I love it and I love your blog posts. :)

Thank you nick, it's been a really wild ride, actually for most of my time on steemit I haven't really had that much opportunity be rewarded like this. Just a look back through my blog and I can see I didn't make much at all for a lot of the posts. But I think the key is to just to focus on making the blog as good as possible, and write stuff that you would actually like to read yourself. Putting rewards to the side, I think that's the only way people can start to appreciate the effort! Anyway I hope to see you more, and thank you for your kind comment 😊
