- Chef Tami Treadwell, known as “The Seafood Lady” to her customers, serves up soul food and Black excellence to the people of Harlem with her food truck Harlem Seafood Soul.
Chef and owner Tami takes as much pride in her passed-down recipes as she does the NYC neighborhood where she was born and raised. Known for her garlic butter shrimp and creamy grits, fried mac and cheese bites, fish tacos, and seafood po’ boys, Tami serves to her beloved community at the corner of 7th Avenue and 125th Street. Harlem Seafood Soul is the first and only solar-powered, eco-friendly food cart in the area- just one aspect of her business that Tami is honored to bring to her neighborhood. The three-year-old food cart has become a fixture in Harlem, and Tami’s love for the food, people, and history of her uptown community inspires her to keep going.

Delivery .delivery ..delivery! Restaurants and food trucks have to adapt. Hopefully ishe hires drivers.

“I over came cancer twice” “ I over came an abusive husband” “I over came depression”
This woman is a rock. Someone to definitely look up to.
she has a cart in NY and a Lexus GX So she's doing very well!
Psssshhh 🤣
& she damn well deserves that Lexus!!!
Its hell getting past one let alone all three
Facts 💯
She’s raw. Her energy is SOLID. One strong women, Amen.
Are you into tarot card and metaphysical topics?
Venusian Vee’s Tarot That’s just ny ppl
She got that good weed 😁
Amen!!
Q U E E N 🖤🔥💎✨👑💐
"i am a two time cancer survivor. So therefore, Challenges that other people face.....I look at them as details that just need to be worked out."
Girl, what a statement. Preach!
Sending love from Texas.
I love the fact that she was there for her friend and not turned her back on her also told her to get something to eat....that really touched my heart
I get the auntie vibe from her strong.
Same
I did too 🥰🥰
Same
Yes!!
That's how I know her foods banging. rip aunty nelda
"Problems are just details, that need to be worked out." Fantastic quote.
I'm putting this one in my bag fr
@bruceownsu you're a miserable piece of shit arent you lol
Just because something crawled up your ass and died, doesnt mean everyone else feels that way
bruceownsu LMAOOOOO💀💀 BRO u good if anything your the fuxking loser a damn quote hurt your feelings ???
@bruceownsu get a fkn GRIP! All u had to do was go on about your day WITHOUT watching the video or maybe keeping it moving without EVER opening ur miserable delusional bigoted mouth.... ppl like YOU r the LOSERS.... LOSER!!!!!!........
This woman has a beautiful spirit, she loves people, all people especially with Harlem being gentrified now, it doesn't matter what your natinality she treats everyone will love and respect. Food is good too! She is a treasure to Harlem.
you know what i love about this channel, no moderator talking or telling us a story about the icons, the icons themselves talk freely and tell everybody whats up/whats going on, so we can make ourselves a picture about them, i love it! keep up the great content!
When she says 70's and 80's she mean she was in the hustle game, back in New York it was hard to strive during that time, the way she treated her friend was nothing but humbleness, you can tell her friend got lost in the drugs, she told her to order anything she wanted. Now that's respect. This woman changed her life and God has and will keep blessing her soul
Cesar Cabrera Yasssss you peep that 💯💯💯💯💯NOW THAT STAIN RIGHT THERE
She’s golden! ❤️❤️❤️
💯💯💯
Yes we just had to figure shit out back in them days. HAD to be on your grind or else you would get lost out there in them streets
Now THATS the REAL struggle...
I have FULL admiration for this lady damn she gives me goosebumps! And that sateva she was talking about 😂😂😂
Get it lady!!!!!
If you made it through the 70’s and 80’s in Harlem, you can make it anywhere in America
“I wanna slap the shit outta somebody with the flavor”. 😂😂 love this
Queen period!
I just love the idea of a restaurant advertising there food by threats
True New York attitude! I love Tami! 💖
I like how she got legit mad at the girl who was surprised that the grits were good 🤣
I fear no man... But... That woman... She scares me. And deserves my respect as well.
"Challenges are just details that need to be worked out". My God, she is preaching.
She would be a fantastic life mentor.
I just love how Harlem, LA and New York's black communities look like one but huge family, such positive energy
It is. It is such a beautiful place.
The African diaspora did that, Salvador and Rio de Janeiro has the same vibe, the old ladies got that pumped energy
Ohhh, so all black people look alike to you???(Joking)
I wish you could’ve seen Harlem in its prime when we really were our own villages..
I love that she’s not only telling people that they can do it, she’s SHOWING them how it’s done with kindness and compassion. ❤️
i love your comment 💙
😇
She’s straight forward too, very direct. Hope people don’t it twisted, it’s actually kindness that she’s not sugar coating things and tell you how it is.
Angel _ souls ❤️
And hard work,
This lady needs to be speaking at schools. The way she speaks is just so inspirational.
This lady needs a whole special episode, just about her.
Her spirit and tenacity is fire 🔥 and should be shared with all !
Never met this woman a day in my life. Never been to Harlem I'm from a small city in Ohio but I can say I love this woman. Her spirit is so beautiful. I pray for nothing but the best for her.
Same girl
This lady, her New York energy, her Black excellence, her drive is everything man👏🏾💪🏾bless up and keep doing you🗽
Thats what harlems about
@@Treerootlocks 🗣️ EXACTLY ✌🏾
@Culture Freedom it’s jus something we say 2 keep us going. Keeping the saying alive may help the future generation survive . In order 2 breed excellence we gotta instill it in the young . And by bringing them up around that saying we can change the course and mentality of the future generations
Kid X thank you!!👏🏾
3rdEyeVision FVS ✊🏾✊🏾
"Black excellence was EXPECTED of you and NOT AN OPTION " and we need to have that same energy now
Angie B I give thanks that I too was born in that era..... And continue to pass on that message All day everyday, to the students I have the privilege of Teaching🙏
What is the difference between black excellence and regular excellence
@@PROLIFIC_TRAVELS so why call it black excellence instead of just excellence
@@PROLIFIC_TRAVELS so why did you even respond, i was asking original post
@@PROLIFIC_TRAVELS i wanted her point of view but thanks
Don't even know this woman, but I love Her. No crying about a struggle. Just making it happen and making stomachs happy at the same damn time!
She sounds like a true leader. Still she rises despite her challenges, fantastic that she brought in Maya Angelou.
She makes me wanna drive up to Harlem, and try everything on the menu
And you should...someone did that once ...the guy ordered just about everything on the menu ...I think he turned out to be a good critic..(something like that (?)..she is da bomb though ... LOL!!!!!
T Nyce facts
She makes me wanna fly all the way to New York and drive all the way to Harlem just to try all her Food!!! 🤤😁💙
Omg me too
Facts 😏🥰
“She made me some fish and grits and I been stalking her truck ever since “barss😂
When I saw her on Netflix's Street Food I lost it. So happy for her. Makes me want to travel to NY just for her food
"You can put concrete on me and still I RISE" She is a light
I forgot about the food. She gave an incredible history lesson. Well done.
Right yes she did love it❤
I know I'm just sitting here listening to her and I'm more into the history lesson and just her strong will and perseverance I mean the food surplus but you know that's what she's going to do but definitely something to watch and go look for with you if I go to New York again or when I go
Same here
Fax I love this lady
Her husband just passed away from Covid-19... lord pray for her !
So sad
God bless her
Oh no. I'm sorry!

I know this video was done 2 years ago but she's so fresh in my mind it's like I'm looking at it for the first time through what she saying I love this lady she is a community I love to her❤ she's the heart of NYC's
Her husband recently died from COVID-19, and his body was left in the apartment since the morgue in NYC are full. Disgraceful! My condolences to her and her family. May your husband rest in power.

She’s a courageous woman. Shame she went through so much, but kudos to her for not losing her spirit.
jay bee oh, if I’m ever in Harlem, I’m making a beeline straight for her joint. That’s a promise.
"I'm gonna slap the shit out somebody with the flavor" This is the best thing I have ever heard in my life!!! I love this woman I hope she is surviving the

Ive been needing to hear a good message for a long while and so I say thank you from the bottom of my heart to yours! I pray you will forever be healthy and continue to truly "feed" all people with your courage!
How she said "tell them to get you something to eat" melts my heart.
God bless her.

Hustla
That's a great story. Love the commitment to and generosity shared with her community.
I cried listening to her talk. She is truly an inspiration and gives me hope and strength. Her energy is on a thousand ..much respect Queen 🙏
I lost it when her friend walked up to her and she told her to go get some food 😭😭😭❤❤❤ She is so genuine !!
Follow me on IG hoxzay_1kk
The way you acknowledged your old friend got me emotional for some reason “We ran the street together and we had a ball doing it .. go get you something to eat” .. that is a TRUE genuine friend . You’re a Gem . bless you ❣️
Real as they come and hooked her up.
♥️♥️♥️♥️yes
Love to see it❤️
Loved that part ❤️
The black family is built on that. We don't have no money but everybody gonna eat
I worked on wall street for 30 years and we used to feel sorry for street vendors cos they didnt get paid a million dollars a year but after watching the Munchies channel so much, I see these street-food guys are far happier than any millionaire bond trader I ever knew
And what are yall doing with those million dollars nothing to make the country a better place
@@James-ov5kg neither are you loser
How smart are you if you think brings happiness...
@@beyourself2444 how smart are you if you leave out the subject of a sentence?
She so raw! I loved every minute of this!!
This woman is a force, what a powerful success story.
“ i smoke a lot of sativa “ .. my kinda lady !
beams omg yessss

I love her already she has a BEAUTIFUL SOUL 🥺♥️😍 it shines through.
I'm addicted to these videos. The food is always amazing but even more amazing are the stories of the people running the joints.
“And people know I’m not to be fucked with” yes ma’am !
Hold up!! I got 1k likes 🥺 thank you

I was in here like ..
YASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
U can tell she don't play that shit
Did the cops get that memo? Cause they damn well should have!
She looks and reminds me so much of Auntie Fee . Wow .
Lol
#visionairewear
@@visionairewear fuck off don't you dare disrespect the memory of auntie fee by self advertising your bullshit
That’s exactly who she reminds me of. All I could think about was Auntie Fee while watching this. rip Auntie Fee
Exactly
Yes
I'm so going here this week, food looks amazing!
She does her food with all her heart and love!!! Bless her
What a gem. She is a gem and I want to go to Harlem and visit her truck and just talk to her. I’m a GA girl but I feel there is so much to learn from the elders that were raised up north. I grew up eating grits. The no lumps is a MUST.
Right! People forget a lot of them migrated from the South to the North so their experience was so pure and unique being a direct product of the Great Migration!
"im well known in this community, and people know im not to be fucked with" Boss lady
This woman's spirit is so vivid and infectious....I loved how she spoke to the foreigners..welcoming them....black is beautiful....
She is the definition of love and a generous spirit ❤️♥️❤️
Ive just started watching this episode and when she said : i want to slap the shit outta somebody with its flavor. I knew she was for real
Update: I ended the episode crying
What episode this on Netflix or something ??
Yes, totally
Nico Frid facts
Nico Frid lool wordddddddd
"You can pour concrete on me and still I rise", the best thing I've heard in weeks. She seems like the type of black woman that's your mama or grandma no matter what race you are, she just wants to see you thrive and spank if you get out of line. After she spanks you she will have a bowl of shrimp and grits waiting for you to eat.
🥰🥰🥰🥰 beautiful description
YaGamingSensei17 Aretha sang a song called A ROSE 🌹 IN HARLEM, that’s what she is!!
While it's a lovely sentiment to want to see someone thrive regardless of who they are, I'd appreciate it if we didn't normalize child abuse in the process. There's no such thing as "wholesome spanking".
@@eainen That would leave out tons of people who grew up with spanking and turned out fine anyway.
Look up "Still I rise" by Maya Angelou. She referenced that poem right after she said that quote.
Momma really inspired me.
We need more videos like this.
This lady is so awesome I wanna give her a good hug, for the hope and the dream!
"I'm like that blade of grass or that flower that grows from a crack in the concrete. You can pour concrete over me - and still I rise."
Maddog worker not to sound mean but where do you think Tupac got that from
Maddog worker yes sir or ma’am lol
Sooooo POWERFUL!
Maddog worker well then yes sir yes indeed lol
Amen I can relate 🙂
"and red makes people hungry" Talk about a hustler!
💯💯 i caught that too.
Comunism
Your whole attitude is amazing!
I watched this whole video with a smile on my face!😊❤😊❤😊❤
When I go to New York, I'm jumping on the train with my two kids, and we are coming to see this woman. I'm going to buy at least $50-$100.00 worth of that good food.
Harlem Soul Food Queen we coming through.

I need that shrimp and grits in my life right now
I love how she didn't mention shit about being a 2 times cancer survivor until the end, she just straight up strong.
Video editing
Spoiling ass horse
I respect ✊ her. I like how she fed her friend she grew up with and you can tell her friend is struggling
I love this woman, so real. God bless her
I absolutely adore her! Her spirit is contagious and she would be my friend
What a cool lady, she’s inspirational and her food looks terrific.
Chef Tami: "Hold on Vice, I got to speak another language to get some tourists to buy my food."
They didn't even look hungry, and then she said that line, and BAM--they were IN her line.
Beautiful soul!! Much love!!
The Definition of “Growing Through It [A Rose out of Concrete]” - Viva La Bonita ❤️❤️❤️
“Bat the Cat and T the tiger! Yes! You get something to eat? Go over there and tell Vivian give you something to eat.” What a great friend been holding her girl down for 40 years. That’s what you call a real one for real for real.
@melt138 friend or not she's not responsible for ole girl and how do you know what she's done for her through the years????
🥺❤🥺❤🥺❤
She’s a character! She’s so interesting and full of life. A pillar of the community
Thank you for sharing!
Very inspiring. An incredible person. One of the finest people on this earth.
She's a strong a** lady who cooks her a** off, and spreads love to everyone she encounters. 💜💜💜💜
"I can feel my ancestors here on this corner" Love it!!!💜💖
She is the true definition of honor, power and respect💯💞

Beautiful inspirational video & words by "The Seafood Lady!!!"
I love her personality sooooo much 👏🏽 if I wasn’t severely allergic to seafood I would definitely try her food
***I can feel my ancestors, I'm well known in this community..and people know I'm not to be fucked with! Loved.
Boom😱💣💯❤👊
She radiates so much positivity and strength. God bless her.
1 love girl! I love your positive energy and your food looks bomb! Stay blessed girl!!
Savvy business woman. Love her community intentions! Her no bs attitude is a spark. Keep it up beautiful lady!
I love this chicks swag, she's not only the chef but advertising her business too wish this truck was in my town
If the chef is a black woman who speaks loud and with a lot of enthusiasm and energy then you know the food is gonna be good
I've met some that try to cover up the fact that they can't cook with that personality... so w/e.
No capppppop
If they speak loud? I have no idea what you are talking about.
Confidence Amen
Facts !!!
thats a strong ass lady
This woman is a beacon of hope and inspiration.
Delicious looking food and a beautiful attitude, prayers to her and her business to last long and fruitful lives.
If I for some reason go to N.Y, I’ll definitely be visiting this chain.
I am so sorry for the loss of her husband and trauma following. She is such a strong personality!
She's for real though
This woman, just made me feel so good. There’s good people like her in this world. ✨🙏🏼
My condolences for her lost. She's really the bomb!
