50 years ago when i visited germany i noticed there were no fried chicken places but i saw a lot of places selling roast whole chickens. We were staying with a german faminly and asked them if they had ever had fried chicken. No. So we offered to make some for them. They seemed very interested in how we made it and when they tried it they really liked it. They were so nice to have us stay in their home and it was nice that we could do something in return. The mom of the family was an amazing cook and her food was the greatest.
@Hatsross12 pulled pork tastes really good when cooked over hickory wood coals. Mouth-watering when you smell it cooking and mouth-watering when you taste it. My boyfriend cooked some pork ribs on hickory and cherry wood coals. He boiled the ribs first in a seasoned boiling water, then put a dry rub of spices on it and cooked it near the coals for 4 hours. The ribs looked almost black when he brought them in. I thought "Omg, I'm going to have to be polite and eat them, but they look slightly burnt." At first taste, wow! Better than anything I have ever tasted. Better than anything at a restaurant that specializes in BBQ. It was so good I wished I had more room to eat more. He had me make some coleslaw to go with it. His recipe, which was slightly different. I usually make mine with shredded carrots and cabbage, some mayonnaise and a bit of salt and black pepper, but he added celery seed and a small can of crushed pineapple. I made it and thought it wasn't going to be good. It was real good. Better than what I make. And the fish he cooks over hickory coals, basted with butter, garlic, and lemon juice was gorgeous in flavor. PS. He doesn't put the food directly over the coals but to the side and then covers the whole thing to hold in the heat. No burning or burnt taste.
My mom (RIP) used to cook almost everything in bacon grease. What I would do for her fried pork chops and collard greens right now. Even something simple like Mac & cheese would always get a dollop of bacon grease mixed in. SO good. Excuse me while I go grab my defibrillator... 😀
My mom was the same and would always save the bacon grease and use it for her cooking, but if we didn't have any bacon grease she would use lard. I miss her.
I miss my Mom's cooking too. She lives in a nursing home. I miss her oxtails. Hard to believe I'm never going to have her cooking again. I feel your pain. 😢
I grew up eating my grandmother's southern food. Cornbread, fried okra, collard greens, grits, it was all so good. I never understood how collards could smell so bad when cooking, and taste so good when done. Gramps was a farmer, and grandma always had wonderful fresh vegetables. I miss sitting at her table, and now have her old iced tea pitcher sitting on my shelf at home.
As a Louisiana native living here in Germany, I am so happy to see Phil trying these foods I grew up loving. You do need to take him to Louisiana to try not only the Cajun and Creole foods on south Louisiana, but also the soul foods of north Louisiana.
@@LythaWausW a lot of places in south Louisiana will have seafood based dishes, but they should also have non-seafood too. North Louisiana will have a lot of soul food: beef, pork, chicken dishes. South Louisiana will have alligator and rabbit along with the beef, pork, and chicken. Does he dislike only fish, or shrimp and crab too?
I am American, Black, born in the south, raised in Chicago. I love food and I love travel. So my favorite shows feature people who explore culture and cuisine. I haven’t been to Europe yet, but have been all over these United States. I say without hesitation that the best food in America is food cooked in Louisiana! I don’t care if it’s a hot dog, burger, chicken, greens, beans, and especially seafood, it will be BETTER in Louisiana! I would pay to see the look on Phil’s face if he ever tried Louisiana seafood gumbo!
YES YES YES! As a Texas native, it is my firm belief that you should always try the barbecue without sauce first. Sauce is great, and I love it, but the pure taste of barbecue, if done well, doesn't require it, and you might miss some of the subtlety and nuance if you just immediately drown it in sauce. I'm so glad you guys enjoyed that stuff! Southern food is beyond reproach.
It's the law: Good barbecue does not need sauce! Some sauce, per bite, is a nice added touch. I'd love to try Bobby's! If I ever make it to that part of the country.
I think it was $42. In the US I get a 3 bone beef rib from costco ~$40 so they aren't being too greedy really. 3x raw food cost at a restaurant isn't really all that expensive. The markup on their brisket by the pound is a lot more. @@planetearth1705
I love watching people from other parts of the world try the best American cuisine (especially from the South) and see their mind blown reactions! Now I want to host some foreign travelers and show them some Southern Hospitality! Ha ha ha!
Same here. Many people across the globe unfortunately have a misconception about American cuisine and only associate it with fast food concepts. I haven't had a foreign friend of mine visit and eat soul food for the first time and not be blown away. Might not be the healthiest but it's so good.
@@frankyohance4625you are right, but it's not the entire world, it's just Europeans. I mentioned a few times that we have real food but they all denied and say we get our ingredients from different countries, so technically soul food is not our food. Okay in that case, pasta is Chinese not Italian, pasta was China's invention. Also the dough used to make pizza comes from Egypt.
The wonderful thing about Soul Food is that you don't have to be from the South to love it. The other thing is that awesome Soul Food is found in every Southern State.
@@jennel802009nly difference is Soul Food is what African Americans call Southern Food. Black ppl call most things they do soul like soul music, soul food, neo-soul, etc.
@@jennel802009 Soul Food is so much more then good food. It is an expression of love. It brings people together. It nourishes the body as well as the soul. For the African American it is a source of comfort...It's home.
This is how I describe biscuits to Europeans: It's as if a scone saw a croissant and said "I will do better!" It may look like a scone on the outside but inside is much softer, fluffier, butterier, flakier.. just better in every way and suitable for both savory and sweet things. Americans can have biscuits as part of almost any meal and it will work wonderfully!
@@TheIncredible1984Dampfnodeln is more like a yeasted dinner roll. Flakey American biscuits have actual lamination like a croissant instead of a crumb structure like cake, loaf bread, scones or dampfnudeln and are not a yeasted bread. They rely on pockets of tiny pieces of cold butter throughout the dough and lamination to turn the butter to steam and create big air pockets on the inside. If an American biscuit is made with the utmost care and technique with good quality ingredients you can pull it into multiple layers with your hand with ease. I dare anyone to grab a whole scone or dampfnodeln and pull it apart in several clean horizontal layers.
@@therev2100 The biggest thing is keep your ingredients COLD until everything is ready to bake, stick the tips of your fingers in ice water and dry them before using them to crumble the butter and four together until you have tiny pea sized balls of butter/flour mix, don't over mix when you add your wet to your dry (it should be a shaggy dough), fold the dough in 3rds and roll to thickness and fold in 3rds and roll to thickness (3x of folding and rolling out to create lamination) and finally when you use your ring cutter to cut them out don't twist just press firmly straight down. These are the basic tricks for taking a biscuit from ok to amazing.
German food and Southern food have some things in common. Both like protein rich meals, both have a number of baked goods they eat on a typical basis, both like pork and beef dishes, and both like mustard and vinegar flavors. Oh yes, and beer is popular with both. Both like hearty meals. The list goes on.
I cannot wait until we try some Southern Soul Food. Just watching this makes my heart happy, not so much my stomach though, you're making me hungry! This is the first video we've watched of yours and it's so well done and informative. We've subscribed 😃. Mrs H 💕
Well, hello Mrs H! Next time you come over for a visit please try the local independent restaurants, not just the fast food places. You will be happy that you did!
My mother fried okra by washing it, slicing it into pieces and then dipping them into a mix of flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper (not moistened, the wet okra made the flour stick) and sautéing them in bacon grease or some kind of pork fat in a cast iron skillet. So fantastic! Occasionally she would chop up some green tomatoes and add some of that in with the okra, which just turned up the flavour dial even higher. I loved eating fried okra with a side of peas. Black eyed were OK, but I really liked the varieties the South has, like crowder, blue goose, Christmas, etc. All served with some unsweetened, coarse cornbread. So good.
My mamaw in east Texas always had the best peas , purple hulls , lady peas , field peas , all with a BIG hunk of ham cooked in for flavor. I think a lot of the flavor also came from the water , it had a lot of iron in it and the water where I live now doesn't , it has a lot of calcium instead 😢
Living in the deep south for 20 years, my reaction to "soul food" was very much the same as Phil's. It made me feel like I grew up in an abusive home because we were never exposed to it. LOL!
Two types of videos that bring me joy: The people that give out money/help the homeless And people discovering southern food/bbq Thank you for bringing me some joy today. EXPLORE MORE
Having lived in Germany and Georgia, I really loved how much Phil enjoyed down-home Southern food! Gotta get him some biscuits and gravy and grits next! Awesome video, y'all!
My mother (from Auburn Indiana) would fry okra whole. She left the stem on so you would just eat the whole pod. The batter was cornmeal. I feel so lucky to grow up eating such delicious food.
This was so fun! I was born in Greenville, SC, now live in Raleigh, NC. Fried green tomatoes and fried okra are two of my Very favorite things! (At least he knows why southern Americans are chubby 😂)
You did a great job of picking things for him to try. I grew up in the Northern U.S., and married a Southerner. I fell in love with the food and miss it a lot.
Your husband made my entire day when he tried the southern food ..... His whole face lit up!!!! Those pork chops, greens, fried okra, and cheese broccoli casserole looks so good..... I fell out when he tried the BBQ, ( 😂 ), ain't nothing like some damn good BBQ ❤️🔥 I love seeing loving mature couples enjoy life and each other together ❤️
So funny. I was born and raised in Alabama and this is a meal my mom would make 3 times a month. HA. She still makes amazing fried okra and cornbread constantly. Glad you both enjoyed your meal.
I grew up on fried okra in Oklahoma. My grandmother grew it in her garden and we picked it fresh whenever she made it. She cut them thin and used some sort of corn meal concoction on it. She then cooked it in a cast iron skillet so it was all nice and crispy (no slime). I'm not a fan of steamed okra, but I will eat fried okra all day long.
I grew up in Oklahoma, too, and fried okra was a pretty common side dish in elementary and middle school. I hated it (the mucilaginous goop in the middle of it was - and still is - a big ick for me), but I absolutely love throwing some fresh okra into soups, stews, or gumbos. It not only adds amazing flavor, but thickens things up, too. Now, I did have fried okra on a po' boy a friend made for me that had andouille sausage, fried okra, tomatoes, a vinegar cabbage slaw, and some kind of dressing he whipped up. So I guess that's a cheater trip for everyone like me who hates the slimy texture of fried okra: find a way to enjoy it that hides it among a bunch of other tasty things. Because it really is worth it.
@@Maria_EriasIf your fried okra is slimy, someone isn't making it right. My granny would cut it thin and cook it until the whole thing was crisp... no goo. Now, if you want to talk steamed okra, that stuff is an abomination. 😄
@@Tampahop I agree! 😆 You know, I might have to try cutting okra length-wise. Maybe doing thick matchstick cuts, then dredging them in flour or a thin batter, and frying them up almost like battered french fries. Ooo, or okra tempura!
Okra is the unripe fruit of a Hibiscus family species derived from some African species. It's uniquely shaped fruit appears in Pharonic temples in Eygpt. It's a vegetable that handles very hot climates so it is popular in Africa, India, and the southern US.
And it grows upside down, with the pointy end pointing to the sky! I found this out when my husband took me home to Texas to meet his parents, and Mumsy had okra growing in her garden.
Really easy plant to grow and the pale yellow flowers with a dark red eye are very attractive. Just a couple of plants will keep table full for months.
And one of its distinctive characteristics is its mucilaginous nature, what the Japanese call "neba-neba". Frying reduces the neba-neba a bit, but it also needs to be savored.
I grew up with okra in the garden. It is only good deep fried/pan fried. The inside with seeds is extremely slimy, great for bonding ingredients. I like them in my fajitas.
I love fuzzpeppers. Fried or in a stew with tomatoes. Can of tomatoes, some diced okra, salt, pepper, simmer for a while. Eat with cornbread. Cheap, filling and tasty. If you want next-level fried okra, just take your normal recipe and add about 10% powdered sugar to the breading flour/cornmeal. Then you get chick-fil-a fried okra. Because thats the cfa secret taste. 10% powdered sugar, and frying in peanut oil.
Green tomatoes are seasoned usually with onion & garlic powders and paprika and cyanine powder - in my experience ❤ I was born in North Carolina , but raised all over the United States in a military family . But southern cooking is seasonings to foods that say love and welcome home !!❤
You ask what makes Deep Frying things so much better than the stand alone item? It's because deep frying the batter maintains the juiciness of the item inside the batter. Thus giving the whole thing so much more flavor.
Y'all really need to try Alabama's BBQ. Pork ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, and Alabama smoked chicken with Alabama White Sauce. The variety and sauces vary by the section of the State. North Alabama is like a cross between the two Carolinas, especially the smoked/pulled pork. The smoked chicken with Alabama white sauce is fantastic. Many BBQ places serve "hush puppies" (small croquettes of fried cornbread mixed with onions) as a side bread. Central Alabama has a lot of Greek influenced BBQ, especially in the Birmingham area. The pork ribs are incredible. A good example would be the "Original Dreamland" in Tuscaloosa. South Alabama is similar to Texas BBQ. The sauce is a more thick and sweet sauce. Most all of our BBQ in Alabama is simply incredible.
Great video of the first time trying Southern food. Great reaction. The food looked wonderful. My parents are from SC, and they made food like this and taught me and my siblings to cook like this too. I in turn, taught my daughter some of the old Southern dishes. We don't eat like this every day. Just holidays and some Sundays.
Phil's pleasure when tasting collards for the first time, then reminiscing about his grandma's kale was great. I love some collards and pork. Just up the road in Tryon, NC....
Breakfast bisquit is more like a scone. If that helps others understand across the pond. Love it. My wife makes it from scratch and a bunch of Mexican recipes from scratch and it's all amazing for me. Love it and been learning it to for decades. Good food. 5 star and cheap and not overly difficult to learn and to do at home.
I worked as a breakfast line cook and made Hollandaise sauce everyday for the eggs Benedict. That egg was hard boiled and that was the weirdest looking Hollandaise sauce I've ever seen.
I think the egg probably continued cooking in the steam of the styrofoam container while closed. Doesn’t take much from perfectly poached to what I saw.
I also love sum fried okra!!! I like mine with ketchup...sacrilege!!! LOL. The part of Texas I was raised in honored parts of deep Southern food and Southwestern food traditions as well. I would not usually eat boiled okra...too slimy...but fried, YUMMY. Okra originated in the area now known as Ethiopia and came with enslaved peoples to the Americas. It is a cousin to cotton and hibiscus plants. The fresh picked seed pod is what we eat. We grew okra in our family garden. IMHO..can't have Gumbo without okra. Safe travels D&P.
Ketchup...and/or mayo lol. My family had a huge garden growing up and we fried food every Friday. Squash, okra, onion rings, acorn squash, corn fritters, there was nothing Mom wouldn't try frying lol. The okra was my favourite though, I miss it. But yeah, ketchup and mayo were the condiments we used for all that greasy goodness. I rarely have it now, ever since leaving home - I miss it, but I sure don't miss all the health problems that would come with that kind of lifestyle/diet lol. Mom's family is from down it "Cajun country" (south Louisiana)
Hi from a fellow upstate SC neighbor!! ✋🏻 Southern food is a little bit of heaven in your mouth, for sure 🤤🤤🤤 Had to come back and edit to add, I have a cast iron mouse that lives on my kitchen windowsill from when I found the mice on Main ❤️ I take my rings off when I cook, and his ears make a great ring holder!!
I like when he really liked something, he kept saying bro.😂😂 The beef rib looked delectable! People should learn when u eat cornbread and greens! You have to sop the cornbread in the green juice, aka pot liquor, or bite of cornbread, bite of greens, to taste the full effect!
He ain't ready for that, he gotta come down to the lowcountry first as a warm up before heading to Cajun country. We eat pretty much the same cuisine in the lowcountry the only difference is we use more herbs than spices. 😂
Would love to see an "After" video. You never get to see anyone trying southern barbecue experiencing the effects in a few hours. I think the food coma would be hilarious, especially with these two goofballs.
Having been raised on it and eating it in restaurants nothing beats Southern home cooking by your momma or grandma. I would absolutely devour everything you guys ordered and love it, but all I kept thinking is "Mom could do that better". 😄
That food looks amazing. Now I want to take a trip to the south. That's the first time I've seen someone eat a pork chop with their hands. lol You 2 are so fun to watch.
Dayuuum!! Haven't been here for a while! I liked your content before but now your stuff is professional documentary level. Not just your filming, editing but also how you both talk/behave. AWESOME!!!! 👏
I'm 75 and stationed in Wiesbaden from 1967-75 so really enjoyed your visit to that beautiful city. I think you are the best and enjoy all of your visits. Would love to see you visit the West Coast and sample the great Pacific seafood. Seattle, San Francisco and San Diego would be great choices as would Baja California just south of San Diego in Mexico. Keep up the great visits.
I saw in my recommended that Phil's tried SC BBQ and I've yet to watch that (I will after this video). I'm happy Phil enjoys a lot of our Southern cuisine! Would love to see him try some Texas BBQ in the future and see how he'd compare it to the Carolina BBQ.
One southern dish he needs to try is fried chitterlings with white rice, brown gravy & sweet yellow cornbread with a glass of southern sweet tea. And for a good breakfast, try some scrambled eggs, biscuits with grits on top of the scrambled eggs & biscuits along with either bacon, fried ham or sausage links on the side.
Pimento cheese is easy to make. You need Mayo (never salad dressing or miracle whip), sharp cheddar if you can find it, jarred sweet peppers, salt, and some cayenne pepper. Grate the cheese, cut the peppers up if you have to, mix it up and season to taste. I don’t really have measurements,you just kinda do it till it looks right. Let it sit over night, you can eat it soon as you make it,but it’s better if it sits.
Nice video. There is a slight difference between "soul food" and southern food. Many people put them into the same box. I glad the the title said soul food "AND" southern food.😊
When he called it a Deep Fried Tomatoe Biscuit and you said "What is deep fried about it?" He probably wasn't wrong. The Fried Green Tomatoes can be done pan fried in shallow oil and flipped, or quicker and easier as Deep Fried (also air fried to be a bit healthier, but not as tasty that way!) and with it being made in a restaurant they more often than not use a deep frier the same as they do French fries, etc, to make them quicker and easier, save stove top space to cook other foods at the same time, and less pans to clean up, unless it's a restaurant that sticks to a passed down strictly followed family recipe and does it pan fried the way they've always done it for generations! BTW, thoroughly enjoyed this video and you guys are entertaining to watch and listen to. First video of yours that I've seen, but am now a subscriber and will be going through all the rest of them and following along!
@Linda Gibbs they originated in Jewish culture but became a staple of Southern cooking, and every single soul food restaurant I go to around here in the South has them on the menu and they're in recipes passed down through generations of black families here, so that makes it Soul Food in my book.
Southern butter seafood in Inman is the place to be for seafood, definitely go try it I highly recommend a perch sandwich & the low country boils. They have my favorite hush puppies around
There’s always a lvl of enjoyment when other people enjoy the food for the first time it’s an experience that u can go back to unless u look at it through someone else’s eyes and it makes u think about when can u or I eat this food again for the first time
A biscuit should be fluffy and flaky on the inside with a tender brown outside. Butter is essential. Fried green tomatoes are pan fried sliced green tomatoes w a cornmeal crust. Both biscuits and fried green tomatoes are savory.
I'm from Oklahoma. We eat fried green tomatoes as a snack. They're so good. Some places make them bland though. I haven't seen anyone make it as good as my Mama.
Hey Guys! Welcome back. I love pulled pork too Deana, but I like mine with eastern NC vinegar pepper sauce. I've never had broccoli casserole, color me intrigued. I envy Phil trying all these wonderful Southern dishes for the first time. Have a great time Guys!
I'm from eastern NC and our pulled pork sammiches are the best! Brocolli casserole is delicious and pretty easy to make. You can find some good recipes online, just avoid the ones with Velveeta.Real cheese is much better
Frog legs, Old-school 7-layer salad, green bean casserole, fried catfish, and of course... black-eyed peas & greens! Not kidding, you guys should swing through Knoxville and check the mountains while there. Great job , keep it up!
I lived in Germany for 4 years, from when I was 6 months old till I was 4 1/2. When we came back to the USA, I wanted to go back home to Germany. The food was weird in the USA, the spice was different, then my grandmother who was German started making me dinners so I would eat. I learned to cook from the age of 5 so I could have German food in the USA.
You guys need to try a traditional New England Lobster Boil - usually most available in the Summer & in Maryland - Soft Shell Crabs (usually in the late Spring)
I had a friend and temp roommate from Germany have his father and about four friends come visit him and they could not get enough of cornbread, biscuits, collard greens, black eyed peas, fried green tomatoes, etc.
I love Southern food. I'm in Northern Arizona so the closest thing to Southern cooking is Cracker Barrel. I love the fried fish, fried okra and pinto beans. Those collard greens looked really good.
I have been following your channel since April doing research for our Amsterdam trip. Iove the way you both inject so much enthusiasm into your shows. This episode is by far the one I have enjoyed the most. I loved how you tore into the fried green tomato biscuit eggs Benedict and especially the smoked beef rib! You guys are more entertaining than the Food Channel, by far!
Oh wow what a delightful couple. My wife and I live down on the Mississippi gulf coast, I was born in New Orleans. I would love to have you both as guests for some good southern and Cajun type cuisines👍😁❤️ !!! We live about 3 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. You just popped up on my feed so I subbed your chanel😁👍 !
As I love the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" I am now jealous that you had them and the okras. Ever since I saw the movie for the first time I wanted to taste these dishes. And the broccoli casserole ... Want to try it! And the Flintstone ... oO Never been so jealous about food tasting as right now.
“Soul food” and “Southern comfort food” are practically synonymous, at least in the Deep South where I grew up. I think that’s because of the abundance of fresh produce and meats, we grew a lot of our own stuff and had the same seasonings to work with. And since it was South Louisiana, both also had a strong Cajun influence.
You guys have me missing Maple Street Biscuit Co, do you have that in SC? They have this thing where you get a whole fried chicken breast on a giant biscuit, a fried egg, covered in cheese and bacon and then covered in sausage gravy. Just damn.
Love seeing a European find out just how phenomenal basic American food can be! Real food like this is always something you eat with your hands - no utensils! The only problem with it is that if you eat it all the time you will get REALLY FAT!
@@richardpare3538 I live in a small town in the Netherlands 100.000 inhabitants and we have literally dozens of restaurants from practically every part of the world, all the chain restaurants are American so maybe this is how Americans operate.
@@richardpare3538 I’m no restaurant owner so no clue, I guess you make a plan and talk with the bank, but they’re not part of a chain or franchise, that’s typically American for restaurants. At least in my part of the world.
Our food is part of what gives us real Southern pride. It's not always healthy, but it's the best in the US, IMO. Southern pride does prevent a lot of Southern guys from becoming dancers, but there you are.

Go to Austin and try Franklin's (Texas style?) beef barbecue. It's pretty good.
Hmm. That's hard to pick. Along side barbecue, maybe jambalaya or chicken fried steak. Deana, you need to get this boy to New Orleans.
Beef brisket, with Mac n Cheese, some greens, and fried pickles. Coming in 2nd is low country shrimp and grits.
@@mokumboi19 Recently, I had chicken fried steak from a filipino restaurant in Kuwait. With mashed potatoes and gravy. It was sooo good
Good greens are wonderful! I like pulled pork. I think your broccoli casserole had Ritz in the crumbles. It's gives it that buttery goodness taste!

@Hatsross12 pulled pork tastes really good when cooked over hickory wood coals. Mouth-watering when you smell it cooking and mouth-watering when you taste it. My boyfriend cooked some pork ribs on hickory and cherry wood coals. He boiled the ribs first in a seasoned boiling water, then put a dry rub of spices on it and cooked it near the coals for 4 hours. The ribs looked almost black when he brought them in. I thought "Omg, I'm going to have to be polite and eat them, but they look slightly burnt." At first taste, wow!

I usually make mine with shredded carrots and cabbage, some mayonnaise and a bit of salt and black pepper, but he added celery seed and a small can of crushed pineapple. I made it and thought it wasn't going to be good. It was real good. Better than what I make.
And the fish he cooks over hickory coals, basted with butter, garlic, and lemon juice was gorgeous in flavor.
PS. He doesn't put the food directly over the coals but to the side and then covers the whole thing to hold in the heat. No burning or burnt taste.

YES YES YES! As a Texas native, it is my firm belief that you should always try the barbecue without sauce first.

Yes! Always sauce on the side!
It's the law: Good barbecue does not need sauce!
Some sauce, per bite, is a nice added touch.
I'd love to try Bobby's! If I ever make it to that part of the country.
Texas bbq was the first Q I had without sauce and whoooo Lord I didn’t know what I had been missing.
For real. The look on Phil's face when he bites into and tastes the beef rib. "I have been to the mountain!"
Deana also had that look on her face, and she's from the South, so you know this place is really good, with that kind of reaction.
Although it looks good. It’s not worth 50$ to me. 35$ yes. 50$? No.
🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
I think it was $42. In the US I get a 3 bone beef rib from costco ~$40 so they aren't being too greedy really. 3x raw food cost at a restaurant isn't really all that expensive. The markup on their brisket by the pound is a lot more. @@planetearth1705
I love watching people from other parts of the world try the best American cuisine (especially from the South) and see their mind blown reactions! Now I want to host some foreign travelers and show them some Southern Hospitality! Ha ha ha!
Same here. Many people across the globe unfortunately have a misconception about American cuisine and only associate it with fast food concepts. I haven't had a foreign friend of mine visit and eat soul food for the first time and not be blown away. Might not be the healthiest but it's so good.
@@frankyohance4625you are right, but it's not the entire world, it's just Europeans. I mentioned a few times that we have real food but they all denied and say we get our ingredients from different countries, so technically soul food is not our food. Okay in that case, pasta is Chinese not Italian, pasta was China's invention. Also the dough used to make pizza comes from Egypt.
@@frankyohance4625 Only the sugar in the tea is unhealthy, researchers now know. :)
@@frankyohance4625 it’s Southern food.
Your husband is such a pleasant gentleman. Y'all are a beautiful couple. As a Southern I enjoyed his reactions.
I love seeing how much people enjoy our food. Food is love here in the South!
The wonderful thing about Soul Food is that you don't have to be from the South to love it. The other thing is that awesome Soul Food is found in every Southern State.
Soul food in NYC is horrible 🤷🏾♀️
@@towannataylor1105 6 minutes in and I came to the comments. I'm from Louisiana. That first place they went is confused me.
Soul Food/Southern homecooking is the same thing pretty much
@@jennel802009nly difference is
Soul Food is what African Americans call Southern Food.
Black ppl call most things they do soul like soul music, soul food, neo-soul, etc.
@@jennel802009 Soul Food is so much more then good food. It is an expression of love. It brings people together. It nourishes the body as well as the soul. For the African American it is a source of comfort...It's home.
Using two hands to eat a fried pork chop. You were actually using proper food etiquette at this point. No joke, love it.
This is how I describe biscuits to Europeans: It's as if a scone saw a croissant and said "I will do better!" It may look like a scone on the outside but inside is much softer, fluffier, butterier, flakier.. just better in every way and suitable for both savory and sweet things. Americans can have biscuits as part of almost any meal and it will work wonderfully!
in my imagination it is similar to the german dish Dampfnudeln....they can also be eaten sweet or savory
@@TheIncredible1984Dampfnodeln is more like a yeasted dinner roll. Flakey American biscuits have actual lamination like a croissant instead of a crumb structure like cake, loaf bread, scones or dampfnudeln and are not a yeasted bread. They rely on pockets of tiny pieces of cold butter throughout the dough and lamination to turn the butter to steam and create big air pockets on the inside. If an American biscuit is made with the utmost care and technique with good quality ingredients you can pull it into multiple layers with your hand with ease. I dare anyone to grab a whole scone or dampfnodeln and pull it apart in several clean horizontal layers.
Well said dude!👑✨👍Those on its own or with gravy or other combination. So addictiveAF!
@@jasonlebeau1288 teach me biscuit master.
@@therev2100 The biggest thing is keep your ingredients COLD until everything is ready to bake, stick the tips of your fingers in ice water and dry them before using them to crumble the butter and four together until you have tiny pea sized balls of butter/flour mix, don't over mix when you add your wet to your dry (it should be a shaggy dough), fold the dough in 3rds and roll to thickness and fold in 3rds and roll to thickness (3x of folding and rolling out to create lamination) and finally when you use your ring cutter to cut them out don't twist just press firmly straight down. These are the basic tricks for taking a biscuit from ok to amazing.
German food and Southern food have some things in common. Both like protein rich meals, both have a number of baked goods they eat on a typical basis, both like pork and beef dishes, and both like mustard and vinegar flavors. Oh yes, and beer is popular with both. Both like hearty meals. The list goes on.
I cannot wait until we try some Southern Soul Food. Just watching this makes my heart happy, not so much my stomach though, you're making me hungry! This is the first video we've watched of yours and it's so well done and informative. We've subscribed 😃. Mrs H 💕
Well, hello Mrs H! Next time you come over for a visit please try the local independent restaurants, not just the fast food places. You will be happy that you did!
My mother fried okra by washing it, slicing it into pieces and then dipping them into a mix of flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper (not moistened, the wet okra made the flour stick) and sautéing them in bacon grease or some kind of pork fat in a cast iron skillet. So fantastic! Occasionally she would chop up some green tomatoes and add some of that in with the okra, which just turned up the flavour dial even higher. I loved eating fried okra with a side of peas. Black eyed were OK, but I really liked the varieties the South has, like crowder, blue goose, Christmas, etc. All served with some unsweetened, coarse cornbread. So good.
My mamaw in east Texas always had the best peas , purple hulls , lady peas , field peas , all with a BIG hunk of ham cooked in for flavor. I think a lot of the flavor also came from the water , it had a lot of iron in it and the water where I live now doesn't , it has a lot of calcium instead 😢
@@debbyparker5431 well I hope you’re still able to get your hands on decent cornmeal. My Mother was always partial to Martha White😊
Zipper peas, or butter beans (the little ones)
Living in the deep south for 20 years, my reaction to "soul food" was very much the same as Phil's. It made me feel like I grew up in an abusive home because we were never exposed to it. LOL!
Two types of videos that bring me joy:
The people that give out money/help the homeless
And people discovering southern food/bbq
Thank you for bringing me some joy today. EXPLORE MORE
just gotta avoid the racism
Having lived in Germany and Georgia, I really loved how much Phil enjoyed down-home Southern food! Gotta get him some biscuits and gravy and grits next! Awesome video, y'all!
Nothing will ever beat good old American biscuits and gravy!
Sausage gravy, some people don't understand that unless you say it.
Mmmm shrimp and grits… I love southern food. Wish we had it up north more.
My mother (from Auburn Indiana) would fry okra whole. She left the stem on so you would just eat the whole pod. The batter was cornmeal. I feel so lucky to grow up eating such delicious food.
This is some of the best food we've had in a while! Ughh I've missed fried okra and corn bread! 🤤😍🍽
banana pudding has Nilla Wafers in as one of the layers
I like putting Texas Pete hot sauce on my fried okra. 😊
@@MioRaem she got so pretty i bet by eating lots of okras!
Broccoli casserole looked like cornbread dressing!
I had fried okra and cornbread yesterday, and let me tell you it was delicious.
From the way he was looking at the rib I felt like I needed to say “get a room”. 😂😂😂
This was so fun! I was born in Greenville, SC, now live in Raleigh, NC. Fried green tomatoes and fried okra are two of my Very favorite things! (At least he knows why southern Americans are chubby 😂)
You did a great job of picking things for him to try. I grew up in the Northern U.S., and married a Southerner. I fell in love with the food and miss it a lot.
Your husband made my entire day when he tried the southern food ..... His whole face lit up!!!!
Those pork chops, greens, fried okra, and cheese broccoli casserole looks so good..... I fell out when he tried the BBQ, ( 😂 ), ain't nothing like some damn good BBQ ❤️🔥
I love seeing loving mature couples enjoy life and each other together ❤️
So funny. I was born and raised in Alabama and this is a meal my mom would make 3 times a month. HA. She still makes amazing fried okra and cornbread constantly. Glad you both enjoyed your meal.
That's how we eat here in the Midwest as well the Chicago Land area most or all our family is from the south
@@rj42074 midwest is south 2: electric boogaloo confirmed
I grew up on fried okra in Oklahoma. My grandmother grew it in her garden and we picked it fresh whenever she made it. She cut them thin and used some sort of corn meal concoction on it. She then cooked it in a cast iron skillet so it was all nice and crispy (no slime). I'm not a fan of steamed okra, but I will eat fried okra all day long.
I grew up in Oklahoma, too, and fried okra was a pretty common side dish in elementary and middle school. I hated it (the mucilaginous goop in the middle of it was - and still is - a big ick for me), but I absolutely love throwing some fresh okra into soups, stews, or gumbos. It not only adds amazing flavor, but thickens things up, too. Now, I did have fried okra on a po' boy a friend made for me that had andouille sausage, fried okra, tomatoes, a vinegar cabbage slaw, and some kind of dressing he whipped up. So I guess that's a cheater trip for everyone like me who hates the slimy texture of fried okra: find a way to enjoy it that hides it among a bunch of other tasty things. Because it really is worth it.
@@Maria_EriasIf your fried okra is slimy, someone isn't making it right. My granny would cut it thin and cook it until the whole thing was crisp... no goo. Now, if you want to talk steamed okra, that stuff is an abomination. 😄
@@Tampahop I agree! 😆 You know, I might have to try cutting okra length-wise. Maybe doing thick matchstick cuts, then dredging them in flour or a thin batter, and frying them up almost like battered french fries. Ooo, or okra tempura!
@@Tampahop then churches chicken have it on the menu and Popeyes chicken have if you are in an urban area OK or black area we eat it fried 😋
Okra is the unripe fruit of a Hibiscus family species derived from some African species. It's uniquely shaped fruit appears in Pharonic temples in Eygpt. It's a vegetable that handles very hot climates so it is popular in Africa, India, and the southern US.
And it grows upside down, with the pointy end pointing to the sky! I found this out when my husband took me home to Texas to meet his parents, and Mumsy had okra growing in her garden.
Really easy plant to grow and the pale yellow flowers with a dark red eye are very attractive. Just a couple of plants will keep table full for months.
And one of its distinctive characteristics is its mucilaginous nature, what the Japanese call "neba-neba". Frying reduces the neba-neba a bit, but it also needs to be savored.
I grew up with okra in the garden. It is only good deep fried/pan fried. The inside with seeds is extremely slimy, great for bonding ingredients. I like them in my fajitas.
I love fuzzpeppers. Fried or in a stew with tomatoes. Can of tomatoes, some diced okra, salt, pepper, simmer for a while. Eat with cornbread. Cheap, filling and tasty.
If you want next-level fried okra, just take your normal recipe and add about 10% powdered sugar to the breading flour/cornmeal.
Then you get chick-fil-a fried okra. Because thats the cfa secret taste. 10% powdered sugar, and frying in peanut oil.
The tastiest food in the USA comes definitely from the south. Millions of heavyset southerners can't be wrong
And soul food
Green tomatoes are seasoned usually with onion & garlic powders and paprika and cyanine powder - in my experience ❤ I was born in North Carolina , but raised all over the United States in a military family . But southern cooking is seasonings to foods that say love and welcome home !!❤
You ask what makes Deep Frying things so much better than the stand alone item? It's because deep frying the batter maintains the juiciness of the item inside the batter. Thus giving the whole thing so much more flavor.
Y'all really need to try Alabama's BBQ. Pork ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, and Alabama smoked chicken with Alabama White Sauce. The variety and sauces vary by the section of the State. North Alabama is like a cross between the two Carolinas, especially the smoked/pulled pork. The smoked chicken with Alabama white sauce is fantastic. Many BBQ places serve "hush puppies" (small croquettes of fried cornbread mixed with onions) as a side bread. Central Alabama has a lot of Greek influenced BBQ, especially in the Birmingham area. The pork ribs are incredible. A good example would be the "Original Dreamland" in Tuscaloosa. South Alabama is similar to Texas BBQ. The sauce is a more thick and sweet sauce. Most all of our BBQ in Alabama is simply incredible.
Great video of the first time trying Southern food. Great reaction. The food looked wonderful. My parents are from SC, and they made food like this and taught me and my siblings to cook like this too. I in turn, taught my daughter some of the old Southern dishes. We don't eat like this every day. Just holidays and some Sundays.
Phil's pleasure when tasting collards for the first time, then reminiscing about his grandma's kale was great. I love some collards and pork. Just up the road in Tryon, NC....
Was in Greenville two years ago loved the park you are walking in. Loved the fried okra, never ate okra like that before.
There really isn't much in the world better than a big old smoked beef rib or three. They take ages to cook, but man is the result worth it!
In Alabama we call this everyday! Love seeing people eat soul/southern foods!
As a SC native greenville is a cool place for good food and downtown fun. But the best food is in the country/rural parts of the city ❤️.
Breakfast bisquit is more like a scone.
If that helps others understand across the pond.
Love it. My wife makes it from scratch and a bunch of Mexican recipes from scratch and it's all amazing for me. Love it and been learning it to for decades. Good food.
5 star and cheap and not overly difficult to learn and to do at home.
That beef rib got my mouth watering 🤤
I worked as a breakfast line cook and made Hollandaise sauce everyday for the eggs Benedict. That egg was hard boiled and that was the weirdest looking Hollandaise sauce I've ever seen.
That was Southern style hollandaise sauce
I think the egg probably continued cooking in the steam of the styrofoam container while closed. Doesn’t take much from perfectly poached to what I saw.
@@MCP920it takes more than a little to overcook an egg like that. This food should have been sent back.
I also love sum fried okra!!! I like mine with ketchup...sacrilege!!! LOL. The part of Texas I was raised in honored parts of deep Southern food and Southwestern food traditions as well. I would not usually eat boiled okra...too slimy...but fried, YUMMY. Okra originated in the area now known as Ethiopia and came with enslaved peoples to the Americas. It is a cousin to cotton and hibiscus plants. The fresh picked seed pod is what we eat. We grew okra in our family garden. IMHO..can't have Gumbo without okra. Safe travels D&P.
Ketchup...and/or mayo lol. My family had a huge garden growing up and we fried food every Friday. Squash, okra, onion rings, acorn squash, corn fritters, there was nothing Mom wouldn't try frying lol. The okra was my favourite though, I miss it. But yeah, ketchup and mayo were the condiments we used for all that greasy goodness. I rarely have it now, ever since leaving home - I miss it, but I sure don't miss all the health problems that would come with that kind of lifestyle/diet lol. Mom's family is from down it "Cajun country" (south Louisiana)
Phil is looks like a kid in a southern candy store 😂
Hi from a fellow upstate SC neighbor!! ✋🏻
Southern food is a little bit of heaven in your mouth, for sure 🤤🤤🤤
Had to come back and edit to add, I have a cast iron mouse that lives on my kitchen windowsill from when I found the mice on Main ❤️ I take my rings off when I cook, and his ears make a great ring holder!!
Being from the south the food is awesome. Born in Texas and lived in Mississippi growing up awesome food.
I like when he really liked something, he kept saying bro.😂😂 The beef rib looked delectable! People should learn when u eat cornbread and greens! You have to sop the cornbread in the green juice, aka pot liquor, or bite of cornbread, bite of greens, to taste the full effect!
Phil,You should try Cajun cooking next !
He ain't ready for that, he gotta come down to the lowcountry first as a warm up before heading to Cajun country. We eat pretty much the same cuisine in the lowcountry the only difference is we use more herbs than spices. 😂
Yep, Phil's head would explode here in New Orleans or in Acadiana.
Yessss
That's soul food to. Just renamed for yall just like Southern food
I love okra, fried really well done! Back when I was a kid a lot of older people wouldn't eat okra because they thought is was only fit for hog feed.
Would love to see an "After" video. You never get to see anyone trying southern barbecue experiencing the effects in a few hours. I think the food coma would be hilarious, especially with these two goofballs.
Having been raised on it and eating it in restaurants nothing beats Southern home cooking by your momma or grandma. I would absolutely devour everything you guys ordered and love it, but all I kept thinking is "Mom could do that better". 😄
That food looks amazing. Now I want to take a trip to the south. That's the first time I've seen someone eat a pork chop with their hands. lol You 2 are so fun to watch.
I want the Flintstones rib!
You Guys Is Fun To Watch 😂😋
Keep Up The Good Work 😎👊
I have been recommending Bobby's to everyone I meet since he opened...the Brisket and beef rib are truly amazing.
I haven't heard of it, where is it located, I don't recognize that road.
Wow that pork chop and everything looks phenomenal!!! Love you guys!!
Broccoli Casserole is my all-time favorite dish. I make it for most of our extended family dinners.
Dayuuum!! Haven't been here for a while! I liked your content before but now your stuff is professional documentary level. Not just your filming, editing but also how you both talk/behave. AWESOME!!!! 👏
I am new to your channel and what is so refreshing about it is the fact you say how much items cost. Thank you
I'm 75 and stationed in Wiesbaden from 1967-75 so really enjoyed your visit to that beautiful city. I think you are the best and enjoy all of your visits. Would love to see you visit the West Coast and sample the great Pacific seafood. Seattle, San Francisco and San Diego would be great choices as would Baja California just south of San Diego in Mexico. Keep up the great visits.
I saw in my recommended that Phil's tried SC BBQ and I've yet to watch that (I will after this video). I'm happy Phil enjoys a lot of our Southern cuisine! Would love to see him try some Texas BBQ in the future and see how he'd compare it to the Carolina BBQ.
One southern dish he needs to try is fried chitterlings with white rice, brown gravy & sweet yellow cornbread with a glass of southern sweet tea.
And for a good breakfast, try some scrambled eggs, biscuits with grits on top of the scrambled eggs & biscuits along with either bacon, fried ham or sausage links on the side.
I miss sweet tea and pimento cheese 😭
Pimento cheese is easy to make. You need Mayo (never salad dressing or miracle whip), sharp cheddar if you can find it, jarred sweet peppers, salt, and some cayenne pepper. Grate the cheese, cut the peppers up if you have to, mix it up and season to taste. I don’t really have measurements,you just kinda do it till it looks right. Let it sit over night, you can eat it soon as you make it,but it’s better if it sits.
@@tranurse thank you but what are sweet peppers ? Bell peppers?
@@pinkhope84 yes
@@tranurse Isn't there some mustard in it too?
@@catherinelw9365 I’ve never put any in it. But I have had it with some cream cheese. Jalapeños are good too
Nice video. There is a slight difference between "soul food" and southern food. Many people put them into the same box. I glad the the title said soul food "AND" southern food.😊
That battered pork chop looks amazing. Hello from San Francisco California
When he called it a Deep Fried Tomatoe Biscuit and you said "What is deep fried about it?" He probably wasn't wrong. The Fried Green Tomatoes can be done pan fried in shallow oil and flipped, or quicker and easier as Deep Fried (also air fried to be a bit healthier, but not as tasty that way!) and with it being made in a restaurant they more often than not use a deep frier the same as they do French fries, etc, to make them quicker and easier, save stove top space to cook other foods at the same time, and less pans to clean up, unless it's a restaurant that sticks to a passed down strictly followed family recipe and does it pan fried the way they've always done it for generations!
BTW, thoroughly enjoyed this video and you guys are entertaining to watch and listen to. First video of yours that I've seen, but am now a subscriber and will be going through all the rest of them and following along!
Not soul food
@Linda Gibbs they originated in Jewish culture but became a staple of Southern cooking, and every single soul food restaurant I go to around here in the South has them on the menu and they're in recipes passed down through generations of black families here, so that makes it Soul Food in my book.
How fun i have been to Greenville! I have a friend living there ❤i am from Hamburg
Ahh Very Cool! Small World! 💜
@@DeanaandPhil it would be even smaller if you knew frances 😅
Southern butter seafood in Inman is the place to be for seafood, definitely go try it I highly recommend a perch sandwich & the low country boils. They have my favorite hush puppies around
Collard Greens are “Grünkohl”! Mmm - “Grünkohlessen” one of my all time favorite meals!!!
Mac 'n Cheese is always a good way to tell how the rest of your BBQ is going to be! An indicator. If they do it well, you know they pay attention!!!
There’s always a lvl of enjoyment when other people enjoy the food for the first time it’s an experience that u can go back to unless u look at it through someone else’s eyes and it makes u think about when can u or I eat this food again for the first time
My mother used to make fried red tomatoes and they were so good.
4:19
A lot of Southerners would simply say, " It Tastes Like Home"
I love RAW Okra. I grew so much Okra last year, I filled all my neighbors freezers. Just planted some again. I can't help myself.
I love pickled okra with a salad or by itself.
I was really trying to resist the temptation to go get carry out and stay on budget. The budget is officially out the window now. 😛🍖🥦😂
A biscuit should be fluffy and flaky on the inside with a tender brown outside. Butter is essential. Fried green tomatoes are pan fried sliced green tomatoes w a cornmeal crust. Both biscuits and fried green tomatoes are savory.
My mouth literally watered when you guys ate that rib!!! 🥹😂😂
I'm from Oklahoma. We eat fried green tomatoes as a snack. They're so good. Some places make them bland though. I haven't seen anyone make it as good as my Mama.
Pulled pork is the way to go
Normally Pull Pork Sandwiches are suppose to have Cole Slaw on top of the pulled pork before the top bun is put on
Hey Guys! Welcome back. I love pulled pork too Deana, but I like mine with eastern NC vinegar pepper sauce. I've never had broccoli casserole, color me intrigued. I envy Phil trying all these wonderful Southern dishes for the first time. Have a great time Guys!
I'm from eastern NC and our pulled pork sammiches are the best! Brocolli casserole is delicious and pretty easy to make. You can find some good recipes online, just avoid the ones with Velveeta.Real cheese is much better
@@tgfitzgerald I agree, the best I've ever had! By far.
Frog legs, Old-school 7-layer salad, green bean casserole, fried catfish, and of course... black-eyed peas & greens! Not kidding, you guys should swing through Knoxville and check the mountains while there. Great job , keep it up!
I lived in Germany for 4 years, from when I was 6 months old till I was 4 1/2. When we came back to the USA, I wanted to go back home to Germany. The food was weird in the USA, the spice was different, then my grandmother who was German started making me dinners so I would eat. I learned to cook from the age of 5 so I could have German food in the USA.
You guys need to try a traditional New England Lobster Boil - usually most available in the Summer & in Maryland - Soft Shell Crabs (usually in the late Spring)
Go to Memphis, Tennessee for the barbecue. Very Good.
Watching this show, brings me back to my childhood, with my German mother and Aunts
I had a friend and temp roommate from Germany have his father and about four friends come visit him and they could not get enough of cornbread, biscuits, collard greens, black eyed peas, fried green tomatoes, etc.
I love Southern food. I'm in Northern Arizona so the closest thing to Southern cooking is Cracker Barrel. I love the fried fish, fried okra and pinto beans. Those collard greens looked really good.
I've also had fried okra at a Cracker Barrel
I have been following your channel since April doing research for our Amsterdam trip. Iove the way you both inject so much enthusiasm into your shows.
This episode is by far the one I have enjoyed the most. I loved how you tore into the fried green tomato biscuit eggs Benedict and especially the smoked beef rib!
You guys are more entertaining than the Food Channel, by far!
Take phil to new Orleans for some cajun seafood!
Oh wow what a delightful couple. My wife and I live down on the Mississippi gulf coast, I was born in New Orleans. I would love to have you both as guests for some good southern and Cajun type cuisines👍😁❤️ !!! We live about 3 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. You just popped up on my feed so I subbed your chanel😁👍 !
As I love the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" I am now jealous that you had them and the okras. Ever since I saw the movie for the first time I wanted to taste these dishes.
And the broccoli casserole ... Want to try it! And the Flintstone ... oO
Never been so jealous about food tasting as right now.
“Soul food” and “Southern comfort food” are practically synonymous, at least in the Deep South where I grew up. I think that’s because of the abundance of fresh produce and meats, we grew a lot of our own stuff and had the same seasonings to work with. And since it was South Louisiana, both also had a strong Cajun influence.
You mean creole influences cajuns didn't season thier food either until recently.
Legitimately everything in this video was so good. Especially the last place. 😛😛
so goood!
You guys should post this in the Greenville Foodies group - it has tons of members that would love to watch it.
I love trying regional and global food.
You guys have me missing Maple Street Biscuit Co, do you have that in SC? They have this thing where you get a whole fried chicken breast on a giant biscuit, a fried egg, covered in cheese and bacon and then covered in sausage gravy. Just damn.
Yes we have Maple Street here in Simpsonville, SC
I'm from the North, but damn do I love some Southern food... shoutout to the one restaurant in my area serving up AUTHENTIC soul food.
Love seeing a European find out just how phenomenal basic American food can be!
Real food like this is always something you eat with your hands - no utensils!
The only problem with it is that if you eat it all the time you will get REALLY FAT!
How come you only brought the fastfood chains over to Europe? Now we think the USA cuisine is all about fries and burgers.
@@hunchbackaudio Most likely only the large chain companies can afford to do so -small one-owner single stores cannot.
@@richardpare3538 I live in a small town in the Netherlands 100.000 inhabitants and we have literally dozens of restaurants from practically every part of the world, all the chain restaurants are American so maybe this is how Americans operate.
@@hunchbackaudio And how are those other restaurants financed, and who owns them?
@@richardpare3538 I’m no restaurant owner so no clue, I guess you make a plan and talk with the bank, but they’re not part of a chain or franchise, that’s typically American for restaurants. At least in my part of the world.
Our food is part of what gives us real Southern pride. It's not always healthy, but it's the best in the US, IMO. Southern pride does prevent a lot of Southern guys from becoming dancers, but there you are.
This all looked so good. Love fried Ocra and collard greens...
