    Onika is absolutely 100% without question my all-time favorite level "1" chef. Everything she's doing is right straight out of my childhood. From her seasonings to how she handles the food and talks about the food. I am from Texas but "Creole" on something was shorthand for "literally" everything you need seasoning wise to make stuff taste good. Tony Chachere brand is the best.

On the other hand, with Saul you can tell he knows his stuff cuz it's his culture and food

      I think not being able to open beer with anything is an USA thing 😂
      In most of Europe it's nearly an insult if someone offers you a bottle opener. Most ppl just gonna ask if anybody's carrying a lighter or grab another bottle. I even did it with a piece of regular paper and the heel kick so yeah :)
