Fish fish fish, please!! I’m bias though!! My papa taught me how to catch, clean, and cook a fish! Chicken is good, don’t get me wrong! But, I’ll take fish over chicken any day!
This restaurant is the perfect example of how importance the vibe and authenticity of the people are for not only your experience but for your viewers. I’m watching this from Atlanta, and it reminds me of my southern family ❤ love you man
The fact they still get so much joy from seeing people enjoy their food is amazing, it shows how truly passionate they are about making great food for people to enjoy
Love hearing the laughs & giggles from them while you are enjoying the food. You can sense how proud they are & how much love is put into it. Very wholesome!
Just like Joel he is such a humble dude. He could have ran thru that about 10 minutes faster but he made sure he complimented them and made sure they knew he liked the taste of the food instead of just treating it as a food challenge. Great job Joel props to you brother!!!
Ain't NO FOOD like SOUL FOOD. I'm a proud Mississippian. I am proud of my country and creole roots. Alot of folks in Mississippi and in the deep south, don't have much, but they have love! And through that love, they use it in their cooking, down through the ages, and have perfected some of the best food that comes out of this country. If you know this, then you know I AINT LYIN.
Any restaurant that has great food would be foolish not to invite Joel for a challenge because if the food is good he will give them a great review and others will come.
Getting threatened to get a whooping for not eating all the food by a elder granny is an invitation to the family in the Black community. You're family now.
Anytime I feel like shit or am feeling down, I watch one of your videos and all is right in the world again. You are such a good man and so complimentary to the people who pour their heart and soul into what they do. I'm also always impressed that you barely get a fleck of food on your face when eating all that food. I eat a grain of rice and somehow it becomes a crime scene. Bravo Joel and thank you.
I love how the whole time they were giggling and conversating with you! They all seem so down to earth and incredibly kind!! 🥰🥰Definitely one of my favorite videos of yours!!

Bro nothings better than old southern black grandmas cooking. Back in high school couple of my black buddies grandmas cooked for the whole team easily some of the best food I've ever had in my life and they are the sweetest and strictest people bc how much they care. Soul food, barbecue and creole is the best food on this planet when done right
can't help but love the black owned restaurants and the heart + soul they put into their foods...they're sometimes the best way to enjoy a sunday afternoon lunc
I can't even describe why their food is so freaking good. I've been to many restaurants, but when I'm craving Chinese and can't find Chinese I go to soul food-
This Restaurant is Truly one of the best places I have EVER eaten from. The staff are so sweet and professional! I eat here at least 3 times a week!!! You can hear and see on the video how well the food is prepared....ITS MADE WITH LOVE!!!! And I love them !!!! I'm from Chicago by the way so you know I love their wingz!!!!😂😂😂

I love it when the family and chefs interact with you! Love when it's good vibes and nothing but love!! It looked absolutely delicious!! Great job as usual, Joel!!

Lmbo, 72 year old woman😂 I was raised on that cooking and it never failed me once from my grandma to my cousins the food has always been amazing, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Jackie, Brandon, and Desiree, I know momma looking down from heaven smiling upon yall❤
He didn't fool anyone that follows him. As soon as I looked at how "little" he had to eat, I just watched for his comments on how good the food was and listened to the proud family giggle and laugh.
Mr. Joel. I'm gonna arrest you for being Food Drunk. You wiped the gloves off.😂😂😂. That Itis is about to kick in. Iykyk. Sweet dreams pal. Great job!!!
Soul Food is the staple of American culture. Slaves did cook in the kitchen for the Slave master and after slaves many Black Americans were maids, butler and often cook in the kitchen as well. With that being said I have been there before and their greens are good. Black Americans are not only the heart of American cuisine and music but the heart of America for sure. Very homely people.
Soul sista ain't frontin' no games. You were either going to finish this challenge or end up on a trip to Banner University Medical Center. Glad you came out on top.
That looked amazing and definitely worth it. Congratulations on your win. Don't think for a minute that you weren't going to get your butt whoop from mama if you didn't finish your meal. Thanks for all you do for us to make us hungry for more. Congratulations again Joel.
I would take an a** whooping to get my hands on some of that!! All the fried foods and the veggies (especially the collards) looked delicious!! I was lucky enough to have a mama that could cook good stuff like that and she still makes me fried chicken on my birthday (next one - I'm 65!). I could easily tell you were loving that food. If I'm ever in Phoenix, I am going to seek this place out. Thanks so much for this video and especially for introducing us to this wonderful, loving family.
WHICH IS BEST 😮
FRIED CHICKEN, OR FRIED FISH?!?
Fish fish fish, please!! I’m bias though!! My papa taught me how to catch, clean, and cook a fish! Chicken is good, don’t get me wrong! But, I’ll take fish over chicken any day!
Fried chicken all day. Even tho I’m a bird myself
Fried chicken is the best especially the legs and thighs. fish ain't got legs and thighs it's just one meat/consistency all the way through
Depends on who’s cooking doesn’t it
Where’s this located ( the address) I’m in Arizona and would like to stop by
I can't tell you how many times I heard my mama say that exact same line to me
Yep lol

Soul Food for a reason! 😻
Ohh I loved hearing them talk but especially LOVED hearing the woman giggle … I need to go there, without a doubt!!! ❤❤❤❤
SOUL FOOD… IS GOLD FOOD. A true gem to society, black mamas cooking is unlike any other!!! And my mom is Pakistani, she makes wonderful food 😄
I’m black, Pakistani food is fire
SOUL FOOD IS SALT, SUGAR, STARCH, AND DIABETES.
