My mom and I went to Sweet Potatoes Kitchen today! I told the owner I was there specifically because of this video. He said they've gotten a ton of business because of it. I had blackened chicken breast, black eyed peas, cucumbers with mustard vinaigrette and a baked sweet potato. My mom had shrimp and grits, okra and corn pudding. We did have their banana pudding. The food was incredibly good. Probably one of the best meals I've ever had.

You're right. I studied in Spain in late '07, and when one of my friends ordered a Coke, the waiter brought her a 20z can of Coke with a cold glass that had been in the freezer. If you wanted a refill, then you had to buy a second can. (And don't even think of asking for a box if you don't finish your meal. Of course, their portion sizes were smaller than ours, so most of the time you typically didn't need one anyway.)

Actually, grits are made from hominy. The correct name is Hominy Grits. Corn is soaked in lye or lime waterto make hominy. The lye is then strained to remove the kernels and all is rinsed and rinsed and rinsed some more. The kernels are dried, ground, and then cooked like you cook oats. You can deep fry the hominy for corn nuts, too. Try them with eggs, over easy, cut into them. Or with shrimp diced into it. Salt, pepper, and butter. Grits are very versatile.

Hi, so um... I have a very awkward and hard question, so I dearly apologize beforehand for my ignorance. I'm not from US, but I'm tad confused about the "southern" thing. So far I've been hearing two very jarring things about south US: that southerners are racist and are very kind. I know technically one does not mean the other one can't apply, but does this mean southern hospitality doesn't apply to all race for a lot of southern people, or is the "south being racist" is just a very ignorant viewpoint that isn't true at all? To anyone who are willing to answer I really appreciate the time and I hope you can understand that this comes from a place of curiosity and wishing to fix my ignorance in this specific topic.

She was so sweet. I'm 37 from Arkansas and also didnt know what grits were though I've eaten them.

Being a New Orleans resident for 73 years I started watching your channel when you were touring New Orleans restaurants and I greatly appreciated your responses to our spicy flavorful dishes. I had a friend from England who often cooked her home dishes for us but I never enjoyed it until I started bringing my own Toney’s Cajun seasoning with me and liberally sprinkled it over everything. I just found it so bland and flavorless without the addition of the spices. I asked her permission to add it so I wouldn’t hurt her feelings and she said she understood and after she tasted her food with the additional spices she agreed wholeheartedly and stated adding it to her own cooking. She brought Toney’s home when she went to visit and introduced it to her family. They now have it shipped to them in England and use it regularly. They also say they don’t understand why the English don’t take advantage of adding spices and extra seasoning to their food. I truly enjoy that you are willing to try everything. The only thing I would say to you is don’t write off any food just because you didn’t like it the first time you taste it. Eating in the US is like eating in many different countries. Southern Louisiana food is different than eating even Northern Louisiana food because they have vastly different cultures. Each state or region in the US has their own unique cuisine and culture. Northern states foods are quite bland to us in Southern Louisiana. Take the collard greens you ate. We don’t use lemon and vinegar in ours. We smother them with seasoning and ham or sausage then some may sprinkle the juice from pickled peppers 🌶️ lightly on top. A completely different flavor. Never judge the US food by one particular area. Love ❤️

So I am a Yankee and learned a ton about Southern food today too. I need to get down to Savannah! Hope the now Mrs. Hannah (she said she was getting married in a few days after your visit) is still there. She is so awesome!!! I honestly think this is one of my fav episodes foody wise. Can't beat the 2-year old Juno ones but this really had me smiling big time.

Thats what you call a veteran waitress. So smooth. Makes it look so easy. Delivers an enjoyable experience that adds to the whole restaurant. I love when i get a waitress this good.

My mom made a bitters course in every dinner every day of the year; collards, mustard, turnip, etc... There are many nutrients in bitters not in other foods. I grew up on the Cherokee Nation east of Broken Arrow, OK. My mom would send me to the woods to forage for collards, poke, sassafras, wild onions, hazel nuts, native pecans and tiny cherries about the size of a pea, wild plums, wild grapes, wild blackberries and dewberries. There were pear trees everywhere with hundreds of great pesrs on each one.

@jackrobinson8557 You don't sound like you're American, so I'll cut you some slack due to cultural differences. I know that tips are not the norm in European countries, and understandably so because the restaurant owner is probably responsible for paying all their workers' wages, but in the U.S. it is the other way around as many restaurateurs don't pay their staff a living wage. Therefore, the wait staff is left at the mercy of patrons, many of which are not proper tippers, no matter how great the wait staff is. This is why some restaurants have imposed a built-in 18% gratuity (tip) for staff, which is split between the wait staff and the personnel in the kitchen. In a perfect world, tips wouldn't be necessary, but here in America, they're a necessary evil.
