  • This week's film is "Johnny's Greek and Three" by filmmaker Ava Lowrey, featuring Johnny’s Restaurant in Homewood, Alabama. This neighborhood staple serves Southern-style meat-and-three lunches with a hefty dose of Greek influence. The hybrid menu is the brainchild of Timothy Hontzas, a hometown boy who has been obsessed with kitchens for over 20 years.

    Videos like these really make me wish I could just instantly teleport anywhere I want to sample food from one corner of the country to another. That, or save up a ton of money to travel. Hmmm...

    Cool. Timothy's story was interesting to watch. Was hoping to see more of the menu that sets his meat-and-three apart from others.

    Απαιτητικός , εγωκεντρικός, νευρικός καλοφαγάς, άμεσος οραματιστής, τρελά τελειομανής ... ΩΡΑΙΟΣ Έλληνας ...
    Η μητέρα μου έλεγε: "όποια πέτρα και αν σηκώσεις, θα βρεις έναν Έλληνα από κάτω".
    Ίσως γι' αυτό επιθυμούν πολλοί να μας θάψουν ...
    Σ' ευχαριστούμε για την ωραία δουλειά σου, όπως επίσης λόγω του ότι επιμένεις να ομορφαίνεις την ιστορία μας.

      @evansmith4330 6 років тому +3

      905core It means a meat and three vegetables of your choice. A traditional serving style all over the South. Done correctly, you can get an awesome bunch of flavor combinations.

    All these comments about this guy not being Greek and everything being white washed....come on folks? I would wager that his food is amazing. I'd travel to Alabama only to go to this restaurant. It's obvious he was put on this earth for his restaurant. I love the part about looking out in the dining room to see the Guest who got the Pork Dish. This is very inspirational

      What do you mean he doesn't look Greek? You know, we have blondes in Greece, too. I have a lot of relatives that are blonde in my family including my grandma, brother, cousins and some uncles. We're not in Africa or Middle East, we're in Europe.

    • @natsfan100
      @natsfan100 7 років тому +3

      He doesn't list his recipes, so how do you know they are boring? Are you a mind reader? Maybe watch the video and understand he's the grandson of a greek immigrant and makes traditional greek and southern food
