    The soul food Bistro in Jacksonville, Florida is like soul food your grandmother would make. I love this place. The deserts and food are made from scratch everyday in there kitchen. My favorite there is the peach cobbler and the hummingbird cake. Everything is outstanding. I'm a picky person when comes to food.

    I appreciate watching this. Although I'm white, I'm a Carolina southern boy. I grew up around a lot of black people who were fantastic cooks. I have gravy flowing through my veins and my mouth waters at the thought of fried chicken and collards and top it off with some banana pudding. Yes Sir! Any day.

      Me too. You know what, Jessica? Mama Dip's blueberry pancakes look just as good as the famous Clinton Street Baking Co. pancakes in NY. But you will NEVER see her on the list of "top pancakes in America", because she's a sista'. That is why I ignore all those Eater.com or Thrillist.com. food lists. They're published by mostly white people promoting only other whites. We have to find and promote our own businesses.

      Absolutely, Houston is underrated and unappreciated. These skilled Culinary Chefs can rival the best in AMERIKKKA. I rate the eating establishments in AMERIKKKA Houston area in the top 5 for sure. This Is It Restaurant can take on everyone. You will not be disappointed or leave hungry. And you must be careful to protect yourself from this soulful addictive experience. I wish I had immediate access to this city.

      Happy2bFree yep. They needed to come farther south. Why are they highlighting mostly northern states?
