This video really pissed me off , I wanted to see something new but instead saw the traditional dishes that are still alive and well. False advertising!!!!!! Fuckers
I'm 69 and from a southern black family. My mother was a restaurant worker/owner and I am 69 and love cooking .
I remember them all and would love to have them now!
This was surprisingly interesting.
I love soul food,I'm Puerto Rican and if anyone want to adopt me and feed me soul food it would make me happy right now I'm sad nobody wants to feed me soul food.
