What a great documentary! I don't know why the history of Mississippi food, music and people isn't marketed the way Louisiana's is. A lot more people would benefit from it.
When we have family visit from other parts of the country, they always want to eat at Big Apple. Its a unique Mississippi experience, and the food is really good. I'm glad its still around-- a piece of history moving forward.
A wonderful piece of history. The food looks yummy
That's what I was thinking Karen Williams lol!.
I was raised in Jackson. I loved going to big Apple and to the Almo Theater...my old stomping grounds!! You can take the girl out of Mississippi but you can’t take the Mississippi out of the girl!! Every time I go home best believe that ‼️🙋🏾♀️❤️
TRUTH TO THAT!!!!!!😊😜😝
Those Godzilla movies were the shit. Loved that place as well. Saw the movie baby alive their forth first time as a kid 🤣😂
I was born and raised in Jackson Mississippi. I grew up eating Big Johns....my Mother ate there for years, starting in 1960s up until the 2010s.
I left Mississippi 20 years ago because of the horrible decline.
Big John's is the only thing that would ever bring me back to that city. You will never find good eating like that anywhere else.
Lol ok I KNEW I wasn’t tripping! When I read a story detailing how big John started it. My brain said “hey it used to be called Big Johns huh 🤔 “? But I was like nahhhh ok I made that up. They would have mentioned that in the story lol. But yesss! I was right 🙌
I still prefer Mississippi over California!
I was born in Jackson, hadn’t been there since I was two, almost 50yrs old now and seeing this makes me homesick and I don’t even eat pork... Thank you for ur service.
I'm 54 years old and I've been eating pig ear sandwiches forever. The only parts of the hog we could afford were the ears, feet, tail, snout and intestines.
@joesar5879
Bring a bottle of hot sauce.
Man I wish Jackson could prosper like other cities
Never will as long as they have Mayor's and Council like they do know. Use to be a BEAUTIFUL city. Council just doesn't care.
@@MichaelTurner-cd7er yeah I meet a lot of Jackson citizens that have moved here to Memphis and they all say the economy has gone to crap in Jackson .
Jackson did prosper 35 years ago...it was one the most beautiful cities in the South. The malls and the Jackson Zoo was wonderful in 1980s and early 1990s.
It's shocking how it went from a livable city to Third World in one generation. I left 20 years ago. Best decision I ever made.
@@Jaxxon123crazy I’ve been gone 32 yrs & the malls & zoo are what I remember and of COURSE big apple inn but wow smh. Would have thought the zoo at least was still viable
The Nissan Plant in Canton seems like it helps some; I hope.
My mom and aunt pat loved this place back in the day .. home of the red hot sausage sandwich . When I moved to New York in the late 80s I feel 8n love with white castle 🏰 all ways remind me of big John's i enjoyed as a 70s baby in Jackson 😎
We used to walk to Farish Street when I lived in Jackson Mississippi , we also fished in the Pearl River for Pan Trout yes those was the days back in the day . I still remember when we would skip school classes from time to time and go to the Alamo Theatre on Farish Street .
I’m from Greenville Mississippi ,downtown Mississippi yessssssss
Looks like great food prepared by wonderful people.
Oh the worst of time and the best of times because Black people came together back in those days. The good old time! What happen!!! Love the ears and smokes
I enjoyed watching this video. I'm from Birmingham and have only been to Jackson once. Next time I'm there I'll stop by The Big Apple Inn. I've never had a pig ear sandwich but I'll probably see what else is on the menu. Lol Thanks for sharing!
NEVER heard of this in my life! I bet it’s good!
**Better than good__they are THE BEST!!! You've gotta try them "Smokes- Ears-Tamales" grab a sack I bet you'll come back for more!!!**
Sooo good i'll break my diet!!!
It is. I ate there for YEARS. That place is still standing after DECADES. That should tell you how good it is.
Big apple inn like 10 mins from me down the highway I get like 8 smokes from there lol they so good especially wen they spicy 😎👍🏾
Rub it in why don’t cha😢
Big apple inn is the only n alamo thea! Left n a club i love big inn! Boy ! Realy miss farish street from back in the good days!! I wish time could go back for once just to b a part of it again!!
Man I love the smokes with cheese
they so good I was raised eating at this place. I used to get my haircut across the street at Dicks
does it taste like country ham? im from the south too.
Do you know any Hodges there? I have an aunt named Mary Hoges and her son is named Brandon Hodges
@@christinacahill5742 not at all
@@hollywoodlady299 nah I don't know them
I never had pig ears
Great doc. Saw this place on Best Ever Food Review Show
Excellent documentary!!!
Now this is His tory.😍
The best pig ear and smokes. It’s sad to see that the owner has not put any money into his business, but I still eat there😉
Because hoodlums would tear it down. He's a smart man. My mother remembered talking to the original "Big John" from the 1960s and 1970s.
Had my first Pig Ear Sandwich in Atlanta Georgia in the early 70s . Going to take Greyhound Bus to Jackson Ms. From Los Angeles so I won't miss this Restaurant
Me and my sister came to Big Apple Inn we just love your pig ear sandwiches and will be back came there on my birthday 3-10-21
I use to live in Rebelwood in Jackson, Ms. I don't eat pork anymore, but i'll break my diet for dem smokes n ears!!!!!
You all are bring back memories of my childhood
i dont eat pig but that was interesting
Cab Calliway was born in Rochester, NY! the underground railroad ran through Rochester,NY , the NAACP started in Buffalo, NY.
Ur Grandfather was a White Man that's why he didnt give a Dam! But he knew Better than that !!! Giving our ppl Seine is so firity ! Pork is not for Us it's for devils ! The WM !!!
Shutup!
What does that have to do with this restaurant??!!.
Awesome to say the least....Born and bred in the bold new.. My daddy would take me there when I was a kid. Took my kids who were born in the Bahamas there and they loved the smokes.. Just so sad to see the decline in the city tho...Dunno what happened but something did....No matter where I go internationally glad that I experienced Big Johns as we called it..
food and culture are intertwined - Waynesboro is all about MS Fried Chicken and a smoke, a pan, and a cheeseburger
the “old” all the way
I've never eaten at the original store I always go to the one off north side drive
And I love your pig ear sandwich when I leave Orlando I’ll make sure I come to your restaurant to give me some pig or a sandwich and everything Mississippi girl from Orlando Florida
We can't wait for your visit to the City With Soul!
**AMEN**
Those smokes r a beast hot and mild
I remembet those days win the smokes n ears were20 cents! N were so good all the food n roasted peanuts a guy served on streets. Farrish street was a straight black business it was the place to b!
I'm NYC born and raised but I love the south, HOWEVER, pig ears doesn't sound appealing at all
I'm not even a pork person, but I ate there for years. No where in America will you ever taste something that good. Big Apple Inn is famous.
I've tried cooking it myself, it will never taste as good as Big Apple Inn. I left Jackson Mississippi 20 years ago, but I would only come back for some ""Smokes and Ears."
Yes sir, this lil blaxican girl from California sure would have me two of them mini sandwiches plaese and thank you.
I'm from Ky looking at this video of the restaurant I sure want to go thereand eat
Sad to see a once thriving commuity decline. I was hoping they talk about tamales since that is what big Jusn Mora first found success selling tamales.
jo mana yea thats when white folks brought drugs in..
Lived in Jackson MS as an immigrant for 22 years (1995-2017) and I am so glad I decided to visit Big Apple Inn one particular summer weekday around 2014, after reading the rave reviews about it. The pig ear sandwiches were absolutely delicious! I did not know the place (and Farish street) had such a rich history. Now that I've learned of this history it makes me sad to know such a thriving black owned street went into decline over the decades. Farish street was basically deserted for the entire time I lived in Jackson. I hope it can be revived someday.
You definitely missed the heyday. It was the best in 70s, 80s and even 90s. It was really booming them. I remember as child riding the city bus with my mother to go get them.
@@Jaxxon123 nice to know 🙏🏿
Nah it’s dead. Deader than dead. It’s depressing. The whole city is depressed. 😢
Yum ! Let me out of NC so I can get me one
I make them here in green bay wi,got to get to big apple in jackson
s thompson I’m sure it’s not near the same 😂😂😂
Jackson has some handsome men. I like this. How much are the sandwiches?
Growin up in Newark NJ..my father had a candy store in 1968..we sold pickled pig ears and pickled pig feet..i liked the crunchy middle part of the ear lol
@Lady Redd ...old Black American southern traditions are slowly dying out...
Lady Red..you know it ...food traditions...way of talkin...and way of actin
If I was a billionaire I would build it back up those were the good days
so how long do u cook them for in the pressure cooker? and what pressure??
joe smith The younger owner said here it's 2 hours, but I don't think he mentioned the pressure.
Enjoyed the documentary but integration may have been a mistake in terms of black owned businesses
What do u mean? In 1930, big john was “black”. I can’t remember the slang my grandfather told me they used, but back then you were black OR white.
I was born in the Delta belzoni, I never eaten a pig ear sandwich before,but oh I have eaten pig ears from childhood, what I do is season them like my mother died and boil them ,take mustard and spread
That was Awesome🙏😇🙏
My mom made pig ears when I was a child. They are delish. Shed make candied yams on the side
That girl’s facial expression at 1:43 says it all!
Shout out to JESSE ROBINSON, BOBBY RUSH!
I’m craving a couple of them smokes soon!
Wow! My husband and I have to make a trip over!
We need ti bring this back to our Black towns.
Love 💗 it
The dude with the man bun has a great voice for radio or voice overs!
Live in Oakland Calif i like them after a good drink when I visit Jackson
Just moved to TX two months ago and omg do I miss home and them damn smokes 😩
Remember this spot aka big John's homeowners the red-hot sausage sandwich thats the real crown
I ate at big apple when they where a dime love the ear keep it going power to the pig ear❤😂
I miss the good food in Jackson ms
real country love it
You guys need to try to help them get international and try freezing the sandwiches it might work out and you can ship all over the state just like wc a burger place I don’t want to name but it would be a market for it
Lol 😩I showl wish they could! Idk if u ever had Inn n Out burger but Bug Apple reminds me of them in terms of freshness. As MUCH as I would LOVE for Inn n out to deliver, I know they NEVER would…unless we get new tech. I think it would be hard for Big Apple to compromise the freshness, just to reach more people. They would have to send the meat, slaw & bun separately. Then there’s the issue of raw meat or pre cooked, dry bun or toasted 😩
Oh and I’ve never had WC in person surprisingly, only Krystal’s. The frozen WC I have tried and it’s decent. Nothing to write home about but I’d say a 5/10. Id try the restaurant 1 day to compare
When you know better you suppose to do better! I guess they don't know no better!
Ouuu weee,, Make Your Tongue Slap Your Brains Out.....soooo good..
That's it, it's time for me to go back to the birth place of me people and go home. I'm going back to Mississippi. Vacation here we go.
Me to iam from Jackson iam hine sick gave not been back home since July 2,1991
Are they still open
Yes, they are! It's still on Farish Street and, a second location in North Fondren.
Give me 6 pig Ears n 6 smoke
Yep, that was my line for YEARS. My mother and father ate them in the 60s and 70s. The only thing that would ever bring me back that city and state.
Wuow gue altista
Can I get a pig ear on a smokes?
Are y'all still opened? Cause I'm hearing y'all gt the best pigears sandwiches in twn I'm frm the country nt liking jxn at all with all the rough roads .
Yes, the Big Apple Inn is open. Make sure you visit the location on Farish St.

Is it still open
chef jeezy yes yes yes and yes lol and two locations that is
AMAZING SANDWICH PIG EARS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL ✨ THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟,
Love 💘
If you can get past the consistency of the pig ear, they're not so bad with some hot sauce.
Leviticus 11:1, 7 “Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.” “And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.” Jesus did not change this law; and He did not die to allow us to eat pigs. Negroes, Hispanics, and Native Indians are the children of Israel. Acts 3:17 - repent and be converted; change. All praises.
Going to continue eating that swine
Country eating
PIG EAR? I want the best of the Best parts of the Pig to Eat. And some Ham and Beans and that Corn Bread and let`s not forget the BBQ Smoked Meat.or a Whole Hog Roast. and pass that Watermelon.Fried Chicken and now i`m hungry you all.
WASHINGTON DC. IS IN THE
Kind of gross. But if you want good food, try Iron Horse Grill or King Edward Bar and Grill. Ask for Andrea or C.J. and service is excellent.
i had pig earsbefore they are pretty good pig feet to i use to barque them
🤦🏾♂️ #minniethemoocher 🔥🔥
I don't care how awesome it is....I HAVE NO DESIRE TO SAMPLE, TASTE, EAT OR COME ANYWHERE NEAR A PIG EAR! OH NO!!!!!
Laura Butler, it's so good, it'll make a dog bite his Mama.
They make pig ears for dogs as dog treats.. that's what I give mine they love them.
Hard pass on the pig ears my g
Eating pig is nasty, there is a reason why God told you not to EAT IT!
What else does God say not to do? And of those what are you doing?
I am sorry but pig ears sounds so horrible
It tastes WAY better than it sounds. I was born and raised there, believe me, they were wonderful. I ate them for years.
There's a reason that place is still standing after decades, while the rest of the city has crumbled.
My mother and father ate there in 60s and 70s.
I got a chance to finally visit one of one of Guy Fieris showcased venues, the Big Apple Inn in Jackson MS. I got a big dose of bullshit, real fast. I was on military orders to NAS Meridian.
There are 2 locations. The original on Farish St, is literally the only place on the block with electricity. The entire block is completely derelict, in fact it's about a mile of run down, wreck ass, you don't want to stop here, even if you are starving, or your bladder is busting.
So, I proceeded to the State St location in a strip mall, and I ate at least 3 smokes and 1 pig ear sandwiches.
Don't believe everything you see on TV! The staff who cooked, they were awesome. They made me feel welcome. But the show sexes it up like it's alive and a band in demand - it's not. If a busted up, can't find it, would never park there black owned business is your claim to fame, you nailed it.
Can't recommend. The food is just ok, but there is literally nothing else. No fries, no chips, no no no no NOTHING that's not in the fridge, and by that i mean soda. The ppl are great. But it is no way in any way an iconic place to visit.
You are TRIPPING like big shoes. Now granted I’ve ONLY been to the original location. NO it wasn’t hustlin’ & bustlin’ but theres steady stream of customers, 99% regulars.
NO it’s NOT glorious! It’s a ran down hole in the wall, but the food IS BOMB! And you’re missing the point! It’s not frickin Dennys! They specialize in 2 things-dassit 😂! Lol they have PERFECTED their menu.
I cant see the other location being subpar. I haven’t been in well over 15yrs, I did hear the meat plant changed the sausage so maybe they’re not as good anymore, idk.
But sounds like you were expecting a full fledged dining experience, when this is a “sandwich joint” with darn good picks! You wouldn’t go to Pizza Hut and say “man they didn’t have fries & milkshakes” lmao 😅
But hey, everything is NOT for everyone. I also grew up on these, so the nostalgia of my granddaddy taking us kids there for lunch on a warm summer day 🙌
my wife and I drove from Oklahoma to Jackson to try it and it was disgusting the place was very dirty
Justin Dockery wat part of the video says its clean..lol.
As long as the food prep area's clean, the rest of the place just adds flavor!
Negative!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gross
