Food: The Story Behind The Garlic Crab And Mac-N-Cheese At Nana’s Seafood & Soul (Video)
September 20, 2018
Several references to Gullah Geechee style cooking and cuisine in this. Charlamange Tha God (of NYC’s Breakfast Club Morning Radio Show) talks up that culinary tradition on occasion as a Carolina native. The history is interesting (found a write-up on Zagat, linked here)… and the food looks delicious! Foodie road trip anyone?
Mother and son Carolyn & Kenyatta McNeil of Nana’s Seafood-Soul Takeout restaurant, have taken traditional soul food dishes and spiced things up.

Food: Sean Evans Tastes Beer Spiked With Mace! (Video)
September 12, 2018
Okay, the category is ‘food’ but the focus is more on ‘drink’ (sorry not sorry). Just seems right that somebody take the guy torturing celebs with The World’s Hottest Wings on a tour-de-beer that includes some KILLER spices.
Sean Evans is the perfect guinea pig for one of Dogfish Head brewmaster Sam Calagione’s craziest recipes to date: In Your Mace, a pepper spray-infused stout custom-made for someone who has eaten the spiciest wings on the planet. Before unleashing this diabolical creation on Sean, Sam warms him up with a crash course in how to pair spicy foods with beer. Then, the duo decides to kick things up even further by running the Mace-spiked beer through a special contraption stuff with Carolina Reapers, Chocolate Bhutlahs, and a boatload of other peppers from chile guru Smokin’ Ed Currie.

Food: Get Ready To Experience Mac ‘n’ Cheese Mania! (Video)
September 11, 2018
Ooey gooey good! Oh… oh this is so wrong… but oh so RIGHT!! Why hasn’t someone thought of starting an ice cream parlor-type business for macaroni & cheese like this before? Dunno, but I gotta get out there to try this now! You know, for research.
This London restaurant sells six different variations of mac ‘n’ cheese.

Food: McDonald’s In Mexico Has Tastier Menu Items Than In U.S. Franchises? (Video)
September 3, 2018
I’m saying though: A lot of this does look good af. Don’t think I would go as gaga over McD’s potato wedges. We can get good wedges in the states, just not at Mickey D’s. And I’m cool with that.

Food: Homegrown Tomatoes Taste Better (Video)
August 31, 2018
My Dad was a sharecropper through late his preteen years before his family moved to Tuskegee. The farmer in him meant we would have a pretty big garden every year, overflowing with tomatoes. They were not heirloom tomatoes like these, but those ‘maters did taste different. Guess that is no surprise. Homegrown vs. storebought, you know… It’s just that this video gives a ‘fullness’ to the argument that I cosign. Check it out.
Ever wonder why homegrown tomatoes taste so much better than ones you buy in a store? Renowned seed saver and farmer John Coykendall hits it out of the park with this explanation – and shows how heirloom veggies, like tomatoes, link us to our ancestors!

Food: This Smoked Watermelon Looks Like Meat (Video)
August 24, 2018
You know how some porn is a bit too ‘out there’ for your personal taste, but you can see why someone else might like it? Well, that’s this for me. Because this seems like a weird kind of food porn.
I have seen melon and pineapple grilled, making me wanna taste it. But this smoked melon… looking too much like meat to not be meat… or even taste anything like meat. I think it would just upset me. Which would be silly. So I’m not wanting to ‘go there’ over some fruity foodie smoked dream.
That said, I’d probably try it if it was at the cookout… going ‘why not?’ right before my first nibble #BecauseGreedy #BecauseCurious #BecauseFREE

Chef Leah Chase Gives Us Some ‘Gumbo 101’ Schooling Straight From The Kitchen (Video)
August 14, 2018
This is beautiful all by itself. The Sister-Mother chef will school on all kinds of foodie knowledge (esp. gumbo). But I just needed to hear ONE thing (that I have known since my elders taught me): Okraaaaaa! Gumbo means OKRAAAAA! Facts.
(Full disclosure: I love okra.)
What goes into an authentic Louisiana Gumbo? In restaurants, kitchens, and cookbooks all over America, you find menu items masquerading as Louisiana Gumbo. So, how do you know it’s the real thing? The iconic Queen of Creole Cuisine, New Orleans Chef Leah Chase has the scoop on gumbo and shows us at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant.

Lifestyle: You’re In Los Angeles. You’re High. What Do You Do Next? (Video)
August 10, 2018
A weed travel show. Excellent idea! And an appropriately laid-back episode to boot.
On VICE’s weed travel show ‘BLUNT REVIEWS,’ we trek to places where weed is legal to review things a cannabis-consuming tourist can do while they’re stoned. On this episode, VICE’s Darlene Demorizi spent a day getting blazed in Los Angeles, where she cured her munchies at Pink’s Hot Dogs, a historic restaurant that tops franks with guacamole and nacho cheese. Then she unwound at Lit Yoga, a THC-friendly studio, and stopped by Puff Pass & Paint to make a little art over a glass of CBD-infused wine.

Looks more like taffy than ice cream. But if they say it’s ice cream… Okay. In fact, the Instagram page (here) says it is the ORIGINAL ice cream.
(Now, I admit, it does look tasty; whatever it is.)

Food: Have You Ever Had An Ostrich Egg? (Video)
July 17, 2018
An ostrich egg is equal (in volume) to 16 chicken eggs, and tastes like ’em? Seems like there is zero risk to this new foodie experience. I would need to have someone with me though. Because even though I like eggs, a lot, we would have to split… the plate… AND the bill!
(C’mon, you KNOW this has to be a pretty pricey plate. Probably worth it.)
