    The past 6 months I’ve been in a really bad place-both psychologically and physically. I’ve dealt with relentless emotional and verbal abuse as well as a chronic disease. One of the ways I’ve tried to numb and distract myself is through the internet. One day while spending hours online I found your videos. I was immediately struck by your engaging, curious, and compassionate personality and character. The way your mind and “heart” work in unison is truly inspiring: you think deeply but you care deeply too. The humanity that you bring to each interpersonal interaction is astounding and seems to deepen your experience of the food too.
    The people around me in these past few months have been none of those things that you and your work represent. In them I’ve seen cruelty, greed, and narcissism. As time goes by, sometimes it’s been hard to remember that there are people out there who don’t share the same values. Watching your videos has given me hope.

    I love this kind of place! Where you can get a simple, hearty meal, and have the same experience you had as a kid. (Also, I miss my old chili dog place. The restaurant chain still exists, but the one I lived in in high school is now a parking lot. It's not the same.)

    This place in Miami, FL is a rarity. Way too many fast food places are completely devoid of any personality or "soul". Helping the community where you get your business was priceless. Miami certainly gets its share of Hurricanes like any community along the coastal areas of this Nation.

    Westchester isn’t a neighborhood in *Miami, it’s practically it’s own city-community and is located south of Sweetwater (a city) and west of West Miami* (another city). As a born and raised resident of the *actual city of Miami* it’s tiring hearing tourists call every place south of county line road Miami. It’s ignorant and drastically undercuts the actual people who live there and takes away from what business they’d have to promote. My family has been here since the 30s.
