    What a wonderful video Troy ! I've heard so many good things about Mama Jean in so many of your videos, and it's an honor to finally "meet" her and learn about your family history. She's a real gem, and I think it's safe to say through your videos, there's a little bit of Mama Jean in thousands of kitchens all over the world. Thanks for sharing this Troy, and cheers and Happy Birthday to Mama Jean !

    Troy, what a wonderful video and a fine tribute to your grandmother Mama Jean! I hated to see the video end! Mama Jean is as sharp as a tack and what a special privilege to still have her around at 93 and to still be able to hear her sharing her experiences of the past. This video will make a great keepsake for you and the rest of the family for years to come when the ones we love are no longer physically here but remain only in our hearts and minds. The tomato gravy and biscuits remind me of my grandmother Thelma, born and raised in NC, who passed in 1983. I can still see her in the kitchen making homemade biscuits and Tomato or Red-eye gravy, and if I close my eyes and concentrate hard enough, I can smell that special smell of her kitchen. I made a video of her before she passed and am so glad I did:-) I could say more but I don't want my comment to be too lenghtly. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this special moment with us. It was a privilege and an honor to meet Mama Jean. Your style, openness, and willingness to invite us into your personal life as well as your cooking is what makes you so endearing to your supporters. God bless you and yours my friend!

She's a wealth of knowledge and tells it like it is. I am truly blessed to still have her in my life. Heck, I'm betting she'll make it to 100!!!! I'm happy that we could bring back some fond memories of your grandma Thelma. The older generation sure knew how to cook some fine meals. I think the secret is that they put a lot of love into their cooking and I try to do that as I learned from Mama Jean. Anyone can follow a recipe, but without you putting love into the cook, it just doesn't turn out the same. Much love to you brother!!! I appreciate you watching!

I grew up in Washington state, and she lived in Oregon, but was originally from Kinder, LA. My husband and I were stationed at Barksdale, LA, our son is at Ft.

My grandparents on my mom's side lived in West TX and my grandparents on my dad's side lived in SW La. One grandmother, W Tx one, made the best chili I have ever put in my mouth and my other grandmother made outrageously tasting smothered fried chicken. I have tried to duplicate their cooking with no success. They were like your Mama Jean and never measured anything. If you asked them how they made something they would just say "Oh, some of this, a little of that, a pinch of that". God bless you Troy.

    Happy Birthday Dear Mama Jean! Oh TRoy... what a most wonderful and precious video. I sat here watching with tears in my eyes. I just wanted to give your grandma a big hug and listen to her more. To be able to film this.. the two of you cooking together and then to hear her stories... what a very special video TRoy. I love the Tomato Gravy. I have a cast iron skillet that was passed down from my great grandmother, so this brought back memories. Your Mama Jean looks so young... she does not look her age! Loved the stories... especially her hair salon! She gave someone a perm not too long ago? I love it and I love Mama Jean! Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and your dear grandma with us TRoy! God Bless you all!

    Thank you very much for the kind words Amy. Mama Jean is still sharp and active. I am truly blessed to still have her in my life. I really enjoy cooking with her and hearing her tell her stories of growing up. And yes, she does still give perms to a select few of her friends. Mama Jean is so much fun to hang around and I have learned a lot about cooking and respecting others from her. I'm glad you enjoyed meeting Mama Jean. Maybe, one day, we can see your precious Mother on camera? I bet she has some great stories also!!! And take care of that iron skillet handed down to you! The newer skillets just aren't the same! God Bless you and your family Amy!!

Hard to find ladies to cook this fashion anymore. We always ate cube steak with our tomato gravy. Hard to beat along with mashed potatoes, black eyed peas

    Troy, love this video. I've travelled that road so many times as I was in Baton Rouge for six years with family in San Antonio and friends in Houston (having lived there for many years). Love your Grandmother, you're so lucky to have her, and she's doing great! Some of the best food in the world comes out of Louisiana and I can only imagine the taste of her gravy, I'm sure it's amazing especially on homemade biscuits! Thanks for the video!

She's still very sharp and witty. I'll give her a hug for ya!!!! Love you Booger!!!

    My grandparents were from Baton Rouge. My last grandmother died last year at Thanksgiving. She was from Mississippi and moved to BR with my grandad after WWII. All four of my grandparents are burried in BR just off Florida Blvd. That I-10 footage, I know all to well living in West LA now days. My wife makes fantastic tomato gravy, in similar fashion. My wife's tomato gravy is one of many great reasons I fell in love with her. Tomato gravy is a staple at our house. I really enjoyed this one Troy!
