I went on at a Detroit Soul Food Restaurant Tour.

Every day is a story.

I'm Shannon Kaysen.

It's Wednesday.

What's more American than Soul Food is actually America's menu when you think about it.

To think about soul food is no one gets everything right.

My mother makes the best macaroni and cheese. There's no arguments about that. We don't have to debate it. My mom makes the best mac and cheese.

My ex-wife, Cindy, she wins at collard greens. You can think that your grandma place but Cindy wins my ex-wife

wins at the collard green she just wins just face it and then my ex-mother-in-law she has a good

overall game but she's good with the pies and the cakes and stuff like that.

But she has a good overall game.

I'm going to give her a good overall game.

Now, one of my cousins in New Jersey, Larry, he might even watch these podcasts.

Larry throw down behind the grill.

I put him up against anybody behind the grill.

Chicken thighs, I never even used to like chicken thighs.

Chicken thighs fall right off the bone.

The meat just fall.

You can eat the whole chicken thigh.

It's cooked so thorough that the bones and the gristle, you can eat it all.

Now, no one has every skill in soul food. They'll say they do, but they fall short in some way. Some people are good at this, but they're not that good at, you know, this other thing. Now, my uncle, my uncle Nate, he's a soul food connoisseur. I help take care of him,

like caretaking and all that. And to keep him eating, we have to give him the food that he likes.
