Everything she made looks and sounds incredible. Haha, I knew you were in for a good time the moment you tried that first biscuit! Awesome episode as always, man!

Just so amazed that she's doing this out of the comfort of her home with her husband as the waiter! Loving the fact she converted her back space area into a mini eating place. I wish her so much more success because you can tell she really loves what she's doing!🥰

Wow,I'm so impressed with her fusion on soul food! I happened to be from Nashville and in Orange County with a sick family member. I really truly want to make the drive to try this beautiful taste experience. I grow up on hot water corn bread and all the havens had to offer in this tiny shake with 4 tables and I hot line of the best food I ever had and miss it so. Swetts is the best know soul food in Nashville but there nothing like this! Nashville has been desegrevated my intire life so I have never known anything but shared cultures through kinder garden on so soul food being a very close version on a meat a three. The level of higher income bracket in my black community has sky rocketed. The number of resterants in Nashville has exploded but you have something that is so special and be such a really great center piece for the redevelopment being built between TSU,Fisk, and McHarry medical school is amazing and still enough available to buy instead of leasing. This area is between a mile from one compus to another. Nashville has always hsd a highly educated black community but the growth of Nashville has brought some many younger, and growing economics wealth to Nashville if you ever considered making a huge market and jumping head first, I beat there is back for you just ready to over you a business plan well maybe close too it.
