Southern Food and Soul Food has in our opinion some of the tastiest dishes in the US! What's your take on it? In last weeks video we tried to find the BEST CHICKEN BURGER of all: ruclips.net/video/qjv7gjDCslM/видео.html
I agree, German transplant. Now living in TN. My favorite meals are chicken fried steak or chicken (white gravy), chicken and dumplings, the slick kind. And of course, biscuits and gravy. I do love greens, but I like to add vinegar or Louisiana hot sauce. Also, fried fish and fried chicken need some hot sauce as well.
You're not wrong, but it's important to understand that if you do not hit New Orleans, you have missed the best of the best (and most unique) southern food.
Back when the United States were being settled and farmed, families would start their day with a big breakfast with as many calories as possible. Their day was going to be very physical and difficult and they needed the calories to get through the day. Now we just eat these huge breakfasts on special occasions because they're delicious.
Hey Phil! I live in Savannah, Georgia (you're Southern neighbor). Cobblers (especially peach) are made with comforting and warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, etc. Although I agree a piece of peach cobbler would be delicious cold, there are few things on this Earth that are as heart warming as a freshly baked warm piece of peach cobbler. I hope you get to try that with a scoop of vanilla ice cream; truly something you will never forget. Hope you enjoy your stay here in the South! Come visit Savannah (the hostest city) soon!
YES Deana and Phil. Happy holidays, I've been here since the far east portion of the journey! Glad to see you guys have outrun every storm! Watching Deana dive headfirst without shame or mercy to get her equal bite is always the thing i'm looking for in each video and i'm sure this one will not disappoint.
I had to go and look up the answer to Phil‘s question; a turnip in German is die Rübe. So what they are serving is the green leafy portion of the plant while the white to pale purple root portion is the turnip that you typically see.
Chicken and waffles has become a dish eaten in the South due to its connection with Soul Food, but it did not originate in the American South. The earliest version of the American chicken and waffle combo traces back to the Pennsylvania Dutch in the 1600s, where waffles were served with pulled chicken and gravy. The version we know today emerged much later with the opening of Wells Supper Club, a soul food restaurant in Harlem, New York, in 1938.
Phil, just wanted to let you know that ocra is also available in Germany. It's not widely known, but it goes by the name of Lady Finger. I have only seen it a few times when I was a kid, but my mom never cooked it. You have to try it dusted in a corn meal breading (called fish fry), and fried in the pan with a bit of oil. The breading is thin and a bit crunchy. Very flavorful. My MIL used to make it like that.
So guys, okra is a vegetable brought over from Africa by the slaves. It's popular in my wife's country, Brazil too with the same origin. There they make it with chicken in big one pot meal. They slice it in thin rings & fry which defeats the slime. Turnips are a root vegetable similar to yucca or yams. The greens are the top leafy part, very delish, similar to collard greens. Keep on traveling and trying. 👍
No the enslavers did not allow the slaves to collect vegetables and animals before being enslaved. It was brought by the white. From the enslaved peoples lands. Fact.
It wasn’t brought to the Americas by slaves. You think some poor slave thought to themself, “i just can’t live without okra! I’ll take some seeds, somehow secret then away, and then I’ll mysteriously plant them in another land, I’ve never seen before, and have no conception of what will be done to me there….” Come on, have some common sense.
Tuned in at random, and was surprised to see you were in my hometown, and that it was Deana's too. OJ's Diner is well-loved, as I'm sure Deana knows. Greenville is such a foodie town these days. I'd love to see Deana bring Phil back in town for the Fall for Greenville festival, if you've not already done that. It's crowded, but it's probably the best way for visitors to try food from around 30 to 40 regional restaurants.
NC native here, glad to see y'all holding up our good ol' Carolina southern food! Love my peach cobbler piping hot, big scoop of vanilla ice cream melting all over it! Also, GOT to crumble corn bread in regular milk - the nectar of the gods! Thanks for your reactions!
Growing up in Mississippi, we would have salt ham, blackeyed peas, homemade cream corn, and butter beans or snap beans for supper along with cornbread. For desert that night or for leftovers in the morning, my Mom would split open a big piece of cornbread and slather both sides with butter then smother in some strong molasses. We at it for desert after a meal and certainly would eat it for breakfast in the morning. So good.
Its cool yall came to Greenville. Im from around Clinton and its cool you brought your husband to try our southern food here in SC!!! Be safe on your travels!!
I can confirm for Phil that peach cobbler is indeed wonderful cold. I love it either way- especially with a scoop of ice cream. The ice cream doesn't have to be vanilla, either. My favorite to go with it is chocolate or chocolate cherry.
Easy Cobbler is a quart or 2 cans of peach pie filling, 1 stick of butter , 1 cup of milk, 1 cup self rising flour, 1 cup of sugar. 1 melt butter in 9x13 casserole dish at 375 degrees in oven. While that is melting mix milk, flour,sugar in a blender. When butter is melted pull out of oven. Pour filling over butter then pour over the blended mixture. Return to oven until crust is browned and cobbler is bubbly
*Of course* do we have Okra here in Germany, Phil buuuuuut not deep fried 😅, usually you can buy it frozen or fresh and also I bought Okras in a glas-jar - I'm not quite sure if it's covered in salt or vinegar water - I didn't have try it yet!?!
There are a lot of breakfast-lunch only places in Detroit area, too. Most are open 6/7 AM and close 2-7 PM. A small chain, Louie's is one of the best. But then we have the Coney shops, many of them open 24 hrs. You can get breakfast anytime from them, such as; National, Nicky D's, Detroit, Lafayette, Leo's. They specialize in coney dogs, but have much more on the menus.
The origin of Chicken and waffles is attributed to the Pennsylvania Dutch not the south. It appeared there on menus and in cookbooks there 30 years before it appeared in the first southern cookbook.
Yeah, born and raised in Georgia. Never heard of the concept of chicken and waffles until2002-2005 time frame. Definitely is not some old southern tradition. And yes, southern food is one and the same as soul food. You get the same food at either type of restaurant.
Hallo! I started watching you guys with the German Christmas markets and I love your vibe. I have now watched your journey together and I love it!! Thank you for making me feel more comfortable as an American trying to speak German living in Germany.
I like peach cobbler warm and cold, but not room temperature. It is more refreshing cold, but more comforting warm. With vanilla ice cream on top, the cobbler needs to be warm to partially melt the ice cream, then you get comforting and refreshing!
The pop up scene in Greenville is really good as well. Lots of new concepts opening up - LolaCeli and Potluck to name a couple. Not necessarily southern, but delicious
I love how you show the beauty of downtown Greenville! I’m just up the road in Travelers Rest and in just about 15-20 mins, we can get to downtown and experience the food and that beautiful park!! Thank you!!!
I go to South Carolina for the Mighty Moo Festival in Cowpens every year that I can over Father's Day weekend. We're always treated to great southern hospitality and the great southern cooking. I always look forward to it.
Heavy breakfast foods like biscuits and gravy make much more sense when you remember that for much of American history we were largely a rural, agricultural society. This is the type of food you want to eat before you go work out in the fields for a full day, knowing you won't eat hot food again until dinner time. Obesity and heart disease are not big issues with that type of lifestyle, staying fuelled is. Of course, now that the average American works indoors at a desk, we have an obesity epidemic. I'm sure we'll figure out how to make diet gravy eventually😂
My haunt here in Charlotte is Eddie's Place, which usually does a banger of a brunch over the weekend. Before it went on the breakfast-all-day menu, the bartender, Ben, handed me that weekend's specials and chicken & waffles was on it. He raved about it, especially the antique waffle iron used to make the deep-crevasse waffles, but also the pecan-crusted fried chicken breast. Served with cinnamon butter and syrup. I'm not a sweet breakfast guy, so when he came back to take my order I asked for a few changes: hold the butter and syrup, and instead top with to poached-easy eggs. His eyes went wide and - after about a 3-second pause - he said, "That...sounds...AWESOME!!" The young lady sitting next to me looked at me and said, "I just ordered the special, and I wish I had thought of that!" The runny yolks did their job on the chicken and waffle craters - delicious. They also do a country-fried steak every now and then: a breakfast-sliced ribeye battered and fried, with two eggs any style, home fries and a biscuit. I make it a habit to NEVER look at caloric information. FYI: Okra is part of the hibiscus family. I eat fried okra like popcorn. Cornbread is best with a little tap of cayenne pepper in the batter, and the crispier (cast iron) the better in my opinion. But to each their own.
Yes Phil, in Pennsylvania we eat chicken and waffles totally different. Here we have waffles with a chicken in over top of the waffle. It's delicious! If you ever get to come to Pennsylvania make sure to check out chicken and waffles in a restaurant.
My Son did basic training for the Army at Fort Benning Georgia. We went to see him and got what we thought was going to be the best fried chicken.(we're from California) It was just mediocre. We did put it on rolls to make baby sandwiches in the morning, and it was pretty good. haha. That food you had looked awesome. Thanks for the video.
What a relief you caught that raw chicken. I was freaking out when you cut into it 😄 We live in SC and we do not eat like that, I'd have a heart attack 😆 If we do, maybe once a month make breakfast, it's just bacon, eggs and toast. Nothing crazy. I've never had chicken and waffles but I did have a chicken biscuit once. It was good but you can only eat a few bites of it.
I don’t know what is going on at Maple, but it’s a sin to put mushroom, rather than sausage gravy on that biscuit concoction. Good call on Oj’s though! Can’t go wrong there! Never been disappointed! From another sandlapper, 8 miles (12.875km for Phil) miles from Unity park! Love the channel! Keep it up!
Born and raised south. Had this food all my life. Welcome to home for your soul. He talks so kindly. I love your guy's videos. You two fit together so sweetly. Glad you're enjoying my south. ❤ I find okra better not deep fried. Best to lightly bread them and fry them in a cast iron skillet then half way through put in chopped tomato and fry it together. So good. Box mac & cheese should be banned her too. Its just NOT good any longer. As a child it was great. But for good M&G trust me get the frozen Stouffers brand. It is GREAT! Just microwave it.
Hi its me again lol I live about 20 minutes from these places you visited. I have never had chicken and waffles before funny enough😆 When you cut that chicken I was like woah hold up thats raw! I would have been angry but thankfully you caught it before eating! and yes Phil cold peach cobbler is my preference lol I'm pretty sure they have okra in Germany too but I cant remember if I bought it from the farmers market or from the Indian store when I was there bc I'm thinking I cooked it in my curry while staying in Frankfurt.
Grew up in Pennsylvania, the PA Dutch do their chicken and waffles with gravy. The chicken is boiled then shredded and a gravy is made using some of the broth as opposed to the fried chicken in the south. Both (in my opinion) are fantastic comfort foods.
I stopped the video to zoom in on that chicken when you cut it open, thinking is that pork? Then when I started it again, glad you confirmed it was still raw. 😊
I am SO glad y'all noticed that that chicken was undercooked. That was the first thing I noticed and I got worried. That said, I'm going to have to try that combination. I normally keep it to just biscuits and sausage gravy, but that looked good. I think an over easy egg might be the way to go though. Maybe even sunny side up. Damn. I'm hungry now. Also, damn. He's got a really good vocabulary for someone who has English as a second language. I know tons and TONS of Americans who don't have this command of the language. I salute you, Sir. That mac and cheese looks gross. Turnip greens are ten times better than collards. I love fried okra, but that stuff is frozen. You need to try some fresh. Oh, peach cobbler. You need some vanilla ice cream on it. That banana puddin' looked good. You need to feed him some good pecan pie and some haystacks. Also find some Waldolf salad. Cute video.
Historically the loaded biscuits meal would be used by the workers that did a lot of manual labor and that would burn off the calories.Over time they forgot about the working part.The chicken and waffles were favorites of the club workers and the over night shift.They were like the concept of brunch but for dinner and breakfast.
That food looks yummy. I would like to see you both do a tour of downtown Greenville, because it's one of our few US cities with some walkable areas. And get Phil's commentary on it.
Fun fact: You CAN find box macaroni and cheese in Germany--just not easily. For instance, you can often find it at Kaufland, and Penny carries it seasonally. Granted, what you can buy in Germany is not as good as macaroni and cheese by Annie's or even Kraft!
Y'all make me drool, I lived in Greenwood SC for 7 years and went often to Greenville. I am American but live now in Austria and miss Okra, can't find this here anywhere. I can see Phil ain't American for sure, enjoy your videos always, since I live in Europe, I lost a lot of weight, no more sausage gravy on biscuits, I sure miss some of that good old southern cooking! 😄
A lot of heavy southern breakfasts come from farmers getting in a big meal before going out to work a full day usually not eating again till late evening.
To be honest, to get the base idea for somebody who’s never had it, Cracker Barrel would be best. I understand going for “gourmet” versions, but this food ain’t supposed to be fancy. Biscuits and gravy (sausage gravy), chicken fried steak, and just stuff like bacon and eggs. Then you need BBQ, which is more of a delicacy. And fried chicken, but that’s basically the same no matter where you get it. Sweet Tea. Lemonade. Heck, go to Chick-Fil-A. The fried pork, and steak, should be familiar to him because it’s basically Wiener Schnitzel.
It is a good thing that you cut the biscuit sandwich to see the chicken needed to be cooked more. The large amount of calories for that dish at first is frightening but when you think about which meal should be the one with the highest, breakfast makes sense. Can you imagine eating that many calories late at night? Can't wait to see more
just found your channel. Have you been to Texas? Lots of Germany influence here. Chicken Fried Steak is schnitzel, but with Beef. We have sausages, potato salads, etc that is heavily influenced by Germans. Fredericksburg was settled by Germans, and I believe many people there still speak German. Another town that comes to mind is Shiner, TX. The Spoetzel Brewery was started by a German. Shiner Bock is the main beer. They have other beers there that have some sort of German roots.
I'm 45 minutes from Greenville (grew up in Clemson), but honestly, most of us don't eat this stuff except for special occasions. By the way, the ESSO Club has an amazing fried okra basket.

Peach Toddler, too funny! Being from the south I am amazed at some of these dishes, we didn’t have Chicken and Waffles in my time, but hey, I left the south in ‘72. The biscuit pile on was new to me as well, but I could see someone who is a farmer toiling out in the fields all day as a much needed breakfast. It all looked good and tasty. Thanks Phil and Deana for taking us along🍯🧇🍗💕👍
I'm a Midwestern guy who used to live in Florida and the only thing out of all that I've never had was the fried pork chop I've had pork chops baked in the oven but fried pork chops sounds divine
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees 2 cups flour 2 cups sugar 2 cups Milk 2 sticks butter 2 tablespoons baking powder 2 16oz. cans sliced peaches 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon Melt butter in large cake pan. Mix flour, sugar, Milk, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to a batter. Pour batter into the pan with the melted butter, add fruit, mix gently and bake 1 hour. Best served warm with Vanilla Ice Cream.
Y'all need to come to Savannah Georgia or Charleston. Lots great places to eat. Wiley's bbq in ga is good. There is a biscuit place in Charleston that does biscuits really well.
We have a few Maple St Biscuit Co in Ohio. I’ve been there a few times, only for lunch though. The Squawking Goat is my favorite (fried chicken with goat cheese and pepper jelly on a biscuit). Thankfully never encountered undercooked chicken!
I am from the south but Maple Street Biscuit is totally lost on me. For the many people who love it enjoy! In fact, have mine too. Maybe I've seen too many biscuits and gravy in camp cafeterias and free hotel breakfasts.
Southern Food and Soul Food has in our opinion some of the tastiest dishes in the US! What's your take on it?
In last weeks video we tried to find the BEST CHICKEN BURGER of all: ruclips.net/video/qjv7gjDCslM/видео.html
I agree, German transplant. Now living in TN. My favorite meals are chicken fried steak or chicken (white gravy), chicken and dumplings, the slick kind. And of course, biscuits and gravy.
I do love greens, but I like to add vinegar or Louisiana hot sauce. Also, fried fish and fried chicken need some hot sauce as well.
i want that first one with the gravy. The thick white gravy in combination with the egg yolk must be so good! And i'd have the banana pudding dessert.
You're not wrong, but it's important to understand that if you do not hit New Orleans, you have missed the best of the best (and most unique) southern food.
Mmm! I've been to Greenville numerous times. My fav brunch/lunch spot is Sully's Steamers in downtown. Lots of bagel sandwiches to choose from!
Lol... South Carolina is located in the deep south, not the east coast.
I was freaking out when you cut that chicken and it was soooo raw! I'm so glad you saw it and got it fixed
She cut open that chicken biscuit and I was immediately like "No! Don't eat that!" lol
Same!
So glad you guys got that remade. No food poisoning allowed
AAAAHHHH! Food poisoning flashback. One day hospital stay. The cute nurses and service were not worth it.
Wow, glad you caught that raw chicken in the beginning. That looked rough!
Without cutting it for the camera we would've probably not noticed until too late. ;)
@@DeanaandPhil omw i almost screamed when I saw that color! ooph, southern fried chicken, gravy & biscuits is amazing, if they won't kill you!
Is there no bite too big for Phil to put in his mouth???😂😮
Was nice that the chicken in the biscuit was a nice size and thickness, but fully cooked is needed

Hello fellow Savannahian
That biscuit and gravy dish is something only eaten on the weekend, when you don't have anything to do all weekend.
Or on vacation.
That's a hangover biscuit.
Great show! I do hope what you were calling mushrooms in the gravy was actually sausage. There should never ever be mushrooms in sausage gravy. Enjoy!

My Son did basic training for the Army at Fort Benning Georgia. We went to see him and got what we thought was going to be the best fried chicken.(we're from California) It was just mediocre. We did put it on rolls to make baby sandwiches in the morning, and it was pretty good. haha. That food you had looked awesome. Thanks for the video.
Great video as always.
What a relief you caught that raw chicken. I was freaking out when you cut into it 😄 We live in SC and we do not eat like that, I'd have a heart attack 😆 If we do, maybe once a month make breakfast, it's just bacon, eggs and toast. Nothing crazy. I've never had chicken and waffles but I did have a chicken biscuit once. It was good but you can only eat a few bites of it.
I don’t know what is going on at Maple, but it’s a sin to put mushroom, rather than sausage gravy on that biscuit concoction.
Good call on Oj’s though!
Can’t go wrong there!
Never been disappointed!
From another sandlapper, 8 miles (12.875km for Phil) miles from Unity park!
Love the channel!
Keep it up!
There is always something new in your videos
Kraft Mac'n'Cheese is available at Amazon Germany. Expensive though...
I just found it on amazon, 10 for 22Euros. Not too bad, but more than we pay in America on sale.
Born and raised south. Had this food all my life. Welcome to home for your soul. He talks so kindly. I love your guy's videos. You two fit together so sweetly. Glad you're enjoying my south. ❤ I find okra better not deep fried. Best to lightly bread them and fry them in a cast iron skillet then half way through put in chopped tomato and fry it together. So good. Box mac & cheese should be banned her too. Its just NOT good any longer. As a child it was great. But for good M&G trust me get the frozen Stouffers brand. It is GREAT! Just microwave it.
Hi its me again lol I live about 20 minutes from these places you visited. I have never had chicken and waffles before funny enough😆 When you cut that chicken I was like woah hold up thats raw! I would have been angry but thankfully you caught it before eating! and yes Phil cold peach cobbler is my preference lol I'm pretty sure they have okra in Germany too but I cant remember if I bought it from the farmers market or from the Indian store when I was there bc I'm thinking I cooked it in my curry while staying in Frankfurt.
Grew up in Pennsylvania, the PA Dutch do their chicken and waffles with gravy. The chicken is boiled then shredded and a gravy is made using some of the broth as opposed to the fried chicken in the south. Both (in my opinion) are fantastic comfort foods.
I stopped the video to zoom in on that chicken when you cut it open, thinking is that pork? Then when I started it again, glad you confirmed it was still raw. 😊
Your 1ups had became my 7ups!
Love you more!💜💜
I definitely eat my chicken and waffles with the white gravy!! It’s amazing!
I am SO glad y'all noticed that that chicken was undercooked. That was the first thing I noticed and I got worried. That said, I'm going to have to try that combination. I normally keep it to just biscuits and sausage gravy, but that looked good. I think an over easy egg might be the way to go though. Maybe even sunny side up.
Damn. I'm hungry now.
Also, damn. He's got a really good vocabulary for someone who has English as a second language. I know tons and TONS of Americans who don't have this command of the language. I salute you, Sir.
That mac and cheese looks gross. Turnip greens are ten times better than collards. I love fried okra, but that stuff is frozen. You need to try some fresh. Oh, peach cobbler. You need some vanilla ice cream on it. That banana puddin' looked good. You need to feed him some good pecan pie and some haystacks. Also find some Waldolf salad.
Cute video.
I was screaming at the screen do not eat that Chicken!!!!! LOL
Historically the loaded biscuits meal would be used by the workers that did a lot of manual labor and that would burn off the calories.Over time they forgot about the working part.The chicken and waffles were favorites of the club workers and the over night shift.They were like the concept of brunch but for dinner and breakfast.
Deana, greens aren't cooked with Butter. Either bacon grease, or some type of oil is used.
Hugs and love!😊
Peach Cobbler is delicious cold, like any fruit pie. Best to make enough to have it hot first and cold the next day.
That food looks yummy. I would like to see you both do a tour of downtown Greenville, because it's one of our few US cities with some walkable areas. And get Phil's commentary on it.
Fun fact: You CAN find box macaroni and cheese in Germany--just not easily. For instance, you can often find it at Kaufland, and Penny carries it seasonally. Granted, what you can buy in Germany is not as good as macaroni and cheese by Annie's or even Kraft!
Y'all make me drool, I lived in Greenwood SC for 7 years and went often to Greenville. I am American but live now in Austria and miss Okra, can't find this here anywhere. I can see Phil ain't American for sure, enjoy your videos always, since I live in Europe, I lost a lot of weight, no more sausage gravy on biscuits, I sure miss some of that good old southern cooking! 😄
In Germany in bigger Citys there are ethnic stores like afrikan or asien. You could get it there.
@@pinkhope84 Thanks, the next time I drive to Munich, I will see if I can find it there.
A lot of heavy southern breakfasts come from farmers getting in a big meal before going out to work a full day usually not eating again till late evening.
To be honest, to get the base idea for somebody who’s never had it, Cracker Barrel would be best. I understand going for “gourmet” versions, but this food ain’t supposed to be fancy. Biscuits and gravy (sausage gravy), chicken fried steak, and just stuff like bacon and eggs. Then you need BBQ, which is more of a delicacy. And fried chicken, but that’s basically the same no matter where you get it. Sweet Tea. Lemonade. Heck, go to Chick-Fil-A.
The fried pork, and steak, should be familiar to him because it’s basically Wiener Schnitzel.
I wasnt sure it was raw or if my phone had a shadow. Glad you saw that!
Did your hair colour change because of the colour of the sauce?? Lol, love it, greetings from Germany Bavaria!
Hi, is it easy to enjoy a meal while talking about it? I love all your videos. Thank you.
It is a good thing that you cut the biscuit sandwich to see the chicken needed to be cooked more. The large amount of calories for that dish at first is frightening but when you think about which meal should be the one with the highest, breakfast makes sense. Can you imagine eating that many calories late at night? Can't wait to see more
just found your channel. Have you been to Texas? Lots of Germany influence here. Chicken Fried Steak is schnitzel, but with Beef. We have sausages, potato salads, etc that is heavily influenced by Germans. Fredericksburg was settled by Germans, and I believe many people there still speak German. Another town that comes to mind is Shiner, TX. The Spoetzel Brewery was started by a German. Shiner Bock is the main beer. They have other beers there that have some sort of German roots.
10:25 They did you wrong with the pork chop, it's supposed to come with gravy, like chicken fried steak. lol
I'm 45 minutes from Greenville (grew up in Clemson), but honestly, most of us don't eat this stuff except for special occasions. By the way, the ESSO Club has an amazing fried okra basket.
Kraft mac and cheese yellow cheddar is banned in many countries because of the yellow dye. We also have very safe organic mac and cheese in a box. 😊
@@jeffhampton2767 Good Mac and cheese is made from scratch and not from a box with orange powder as cheese. Sorry, but it's true! Good eating!!😉
@@ramonaschuler4134 I don't like mac and cheese. Pasta leads to diabetes. 🤒
@@jeffhampton2767 not if you have self control.
@@jeffhampton2767 Wiki: "While pasta is a staple in Italian cuisine, studies generally do not show a direct link between high pasta consumption in Italy and increased diabetes rates"
I was raised on and love Soul Food. I eat it sparingly nowadays though. Not the healthiest food on earth, but delicious!
2:15 thats a new combination, salmonella and gravy 🤐
Peach Toddler, too funny! Being from the south I am amazed at some of these dishes, we didn’t have Chicken and Waffles in my time, but hey, I left the south in ‘72. The biscuit pile on was new to me as well, but I could see someone who is a farmer toiling out in the fields all day as a much needed breakfast. It all looked good and tasty. Thanks Phil and Deana for taking us along🍯🧇🍗💕👍
Yes, you absolutely can do gravy instead of syrup. I usually get both.
I'm a Midwestern guy who used to live in Florida and the only thing out of all that I've never had was the fried pork chop I've had pork chops baked in the oven but fried pork chops sounds divine
I was gonna say omg is that chicken undercooked?! Ok glad you guys caught that

Fried okra dipped in Italian dressing is really good.
We don't count calories in the South, we count High Blood Pressure & Diabetes hereBut the food is worth it
Y'all need to come to Savannah Georgia or Charleston. Lots great places to eat. Wiley's bbq in ga is good. There is a biscuit place in Charleston that does biscuits really well.
Deana i hope your family didn't experience that hurricane flood damage in the Greenville area. 🙏🏻
Chicken and Waffles is my go to hangover food.
We have a few Maple St Biscuit Co in Ohio. I’ve been there a few times, only for lunch though. The Squawking Goat is my favorite (fried chicken with goat cheese and pepper jelly on a biscuit). Thankfully never encountered undercooked chicken!
My kind of breakfast full of flavor comfort food.. . I like to visit the south of the USA just to try that no joke😅❤
Right here in my state!! Welcome!!!
I am from the south but Maple Street Biscuit is totally lost on me. For the many people who love it enjoy! In fact, have mine too.
Maybe I've seen too many biscuits and gravy in camp cafeterias and free hotel breakfasts.
In the South, try some chicken fried steak and grits. NOTE: it's hard to find them properly made, but when you do, they're awesome!
