    Raw onions are a staple on most southern tables. I rarely eat supper without my onion, and in
    the summer, its onions, tomatoes, and cucumber.
    And onions with beans are a must ! Your starters are my supper in the fall and winter.

      My mother-in-law put onions on just about everything! And I like onions I guess I wasn’t really sure what we were supposed to do with them. Lol and yes, I could see why that would make a good supper.❤️

      I make the cucumber/tomato/sweet onion summer salad too. It's so delicious. Have you ever tried it with balsamic dressing? My favorite is the Trader Joe's brand.
      Our neighbors gave us some lemon cucumbers today. Guess what's on the menu tonight 😋♥️

    Yay! You went to Huck Finn’s!! I am one of the subscribers that requested it😊 I got so excited when I saw you posted this video!! Though, the title had me a little worried about the ‘bad bite’. I usually cut up the onion and put it in the beans and then just eat the pickle because I love them!😂 See what I mean about the Vittles though? No need for an appetizer and you can save a little money! 👍 We’ll be there the first week of October and can’t wait to go to Huck Finn’s! Congratulations on reaching 10K subscriber’s! That awesome!!😊

      Well, thank you for recommending it. I was just playing with the title when I put that in there. Lol.
      You are certainly right about vittles being so much that you did not need appetizer. We absolutely loved the dessert. And I can see why you look forward to going when you come in town!

      I always put onions in my pinto beans when I cook them. I also put a can of Rotel tomatoes, a ham hock and about 2/3 cup brewed coffee. You don’t taste the coffee, it just makes the beans taste richer. An old gentleman who lived at the lake we went to on the weekend told me about that.

    The apple cobbler brought back a flood of memories. I come from a family of eight and Mom on occasion would make apple cobbler for dinner dessert. She'd make something less appetizing (i.e. liver, fried mini sausage) knowing that we would eat it just to be able to indulge in the cobbler. Smart woman! Jenn's chicken looked delish, too.

    I'm glad you guys had a better experience than I did with my party the time I went to Huck Finns. We never been there before 1st time visit, we got there before they open on a Thursday in June to have lunch. We was rushed in and rushed out our waitress came back 5 times while we was looking over the menu. I myself I don't eat catfish but the 3 of us ended up getting all you can eat catfish and fried chicken. I only got all you can eat fried chicken, ate the sides Cole slaw, white beans, hush puppies was great. But I was not impressed with their fried chicken. I'd rather had all I could eat KFC fried chicken or Bojangles chicken tastes better than Huck's Finns. My dad and brother had a better experience than I did. If I had to rate my meal I'd give it a 2 or 3. On top of all that the price for all 3 of us was over $130.00 and I was just u satisfied I didn't tip at all. Maybe I just came at a bad time for lunch or an off day. I if I saw shrimp or clam straps on the menu I might of got that instead . But again our waitress was really rushy cane back to our table 5 times in a short amount of time. Glade yall had a better experience.

    Our family is from North Carolina(my great grandfather was born on Qualla Boundary) and we ALWAYS have onion on the table. Usually we have some kind of cheese. And always something pickled. The pickled items range from Chow chow, to different kinds of pickles, to pickled okra, to pickled peppers. I grew up this way and have continued this with my own family.
    The Onion gives a kind of relief from eating all the rich fried foods. It's crisp and juicy.... Anytime we have even just fried potatoes... The onion has to be eaten with them. ❤I love eating vicariously through y'all... Lol. Thx for your fun videos👍🏻😊

    Hello, Rich and Jen. I just subscribed to your channel. After I watched Huck Finn's catfish review. Now let me have a little say about wild catfish there are a few different species of catfish. I don't know what kind you tasted, or if it was cleaned. You have to clean catfish the right way. That is one thing; if it was channel cat, that is not the best by far. Yellow cats, also known as flatheads, are the best. The smaller ones taste the best, as with all catfish, & blue Cat is 2nd best. So please don't say no to wild catfish until you tried them all, but start with yellow/flathead. The blue cat. And you would probably change your mind about farm-raised catfish they fed pellet food. Thanks for letting me explain about catfish. I did leave a like for your channel.

    Farm raised catfish is very mild compared to wild it is the fish of the South and I prefer farm raised from Arkansas or Mississippi. Pickle and onions is always on a Southern table particularly with fish and I like hush puppies with the beans and coleslaw as "cornbread"

    The flavor of catfish depends a lot on the water they live in. Some can have a muddy taste but catfish in clearer lakes tend to have a milder taste. The lake where we used to have our weekend place had some wonderful tasting catfish. They were as good or better than crappie. Thigh is my favorite piece of chicken and that thigh was enormous.

    An Appalachian way of eating beans is over cornbread ie hushpuppies and topped with onion. And a side of slaw. The pickle would be a pallet cleanser. Your video made me so hungry. I must try Huck Finns during my next visit!!

Since Rio Vista is no longer, someone STILL sells their famous salad dressing and I buy it and take the bottle with me to use on my salad when we drive out to Bonner’s. Whole catfish OR fillet………we always order the whole. Limited serving times, quite a drive…….but sooooo worth it.❤️. Today is 8-15-2024.
