Sylvia's is fucking disgusting eeeeyucckk
Omggg lmaooo Sylvia's is not soul food at all
Now that restaurant will be state owned.
Nice job New York.
Build the wall from Escape from New York. Send in Snake Pliskin.
and then ICE busts in and arrests all the people of color
I'm still trying to figure out. Why did Miss Kim compare Chitterlings to Souse? They are nowhere near the same thing.
the grandson who honoring the work his grand mother put in i rare to see , most people so full of themselves
As always when these crackers discuss our culture they try to erase us and attribute our food, music, culture and history to Caribbeans, Africans and anyone else because they all operate on the basis of ethnic erasure of Black Americans.
Aint no way I'm paying them prices when real ma&pa places will get you right for realistic prices.
9:44 is the Winnie Mandela? on the pic With Sylvia?
'Soul food' is slave food, because all food is supposed to be made with love right?😂 the woman is choosing to preserve slave culture… man from Red Rooster CHOSE to live as a stereotype😂 sorry not sorry but just can't make this shit up🤦🏻♂️.
so im looking at the ingredients, how is it 182, maybe endangered honey
WHY rasains.?!…..also, People don’t eat “soul food” because they don’t HAVE too.!
why did you not was your hands lol
Double fried and honey and seasoning that Korean fried chicken you could get that under 20.00 you are getting ripped off if you paid 182.00
25$ for the chicken 25 for the lobster mac the rest is that cunts ego and rent
New York City is definitely not an inviting place.
ai music joe rogan train legooo
You put half a ton of sugar on yam… and it tastes like dessert. No sh!t. This “chef” is a bottomless well of wisdom and knowledge.
182 $ SCAM😆
23:36 Sonny's fingers…. 😂
How can you do a soul food tour and not be in the south? We invented it.
2:00 DAYUMMMMM what a pillow!!! Bday Cake appearance
no fried chicken of any sort is worth $182USD
That lady going to hard for chitterlings. It's not that great, she didn't have to over hype discarded pig intestines. Like they are good for what they are, for being what they are but that's it nothing glamorous
Chitlin for $28 is way over price
orange finger tips from the food .. love it
at 4:15 let me guess, fat joe discovered vegetables, am i right?
If a white person said/did what she did it would be racist !?!
I didn't find out they were called Chitterlings until my early 20s. We always called them Chittlin's when I was a kid so I assumed that was their name until I saw the bucket at the store.
Can someone get this vid songs man they are lit
Please, don't ever change the title of this video.
It all looks great, damn your videos make me hungry! I hope you are well
You need to visit Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹
👍
No chitterlings arrive already cleaned!! People make the mistake of believing that pre-cleaned is cleaned and they be eating sh!t!! I'm just saying.
Pig is harram😂😂😂😂😂
I'm just trying to figure out why Melba Wilson got you eating Chitterlings and Collar Greens like a child? Only children eat Chitterlings and Collar Greens plain, adults add hot sauce.
Raisins in the sweet potato’s is crazy to me
Would love to see more nyc places that aren't famous like this
