Hey guys, welcome to another episode of Eating While Broke.

I'm your host, Colleen Witt, and today we have a very special guest. I pitched him, locked him in myself, comedian Godfrey's in the building. What's up? How are you? I'm good. I'm good, man. I'm really excited to have you. I thought for a second I wasn't going to get you. Oh, really? Yeah, because I was texting and it went silent and then it said notification silenced. I don't know. And I said, oh, my gosh. I don't even know it's, I did that. My stuff hits my pocket. I go, oh, you did this to, I don't know. Why is my phone not answering? It's, yeah. But it made my day to see yo and I said oh my God oh yeah I

was like yo and uh I got off the plane I came straight here from the airport really oh okay okay

straight here makes me feel better is yeah you're gonna you're gonna cook a good dish what are you

gonna have me eating today real simple poor man's man's, poor woman's food. Black beans, chicken, rice, plantains. Yeah. That's always, that's poor people's food, man. But being Nigerian, that's, come on, a go-to. You be a Jamaican, go-to. Rice, beans. We know all that. Rice and peas. Rice and peas. And it's the full meal. And it's healthy. It's healthy. That's why you're missing is some kind of vegetable. Oh, green beans would have been cool. Like green beans or peas or broccoli I would have had. Okay. Simple. You can boil them. Cool. But our producer back there, Jared was asking, he was like, how much does a meal like this cost? And I was like, honestly, this is the great thing about this dish. Yeah. Is just for anyone curious out that this dish runs $10. Just about like $12, $12. And depending on the type of chicken you get, if it's quality chicken, you try to get that. But if you're broken, you're struggling, $12. And you make a bunch of it and you can save it for a couple days.

You make a pot of stuff, like we do it in my house, my parents do it in a house. You make a pot of stuff, put in a refrigerator, takes them out to reheat it. Boom, that's it. Yeah. And it's $12, and I'd say it's at least four to six servings for $12. bucks. So if you're out there and you're trying to figure out what to do for dinner,

black beans, chicken, plantains, and brown rice. And in your combination every once in a while, you get a little burger from Wendy's like that, you know what I'm saying, every once in a round. You get those little cheap little combos. You got to combine a little show. Little survival tool right there. Get it You know what I'm saying? Whatever you got to do, man. So what are you seasoning your chicken with? Oh, man, I just use basic, like salt, garlic. You got garlic salt. That's good. Are you going to put oil in that pat? Oh, sure. And Godfrey told us that you are only olive oil, right? Yes.

I tried the olive or avocado.

Okay.

We have both.

Or the grape seed.

Yeah, we just discovered grape seed on this show recently.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

I've been.

I thought it had some hidden heat element, the guess, I need.

Well, avocado is the best as far as heating.

I know olive oil is not bad, but avocados is like the best. But I'll use those three. Now, if you're frying, if you're frying. Coconut oil, olive oil, avocado. But coconut and grape seed, those are the ones for like frying and stuff. That's what I do. Oh, you do? You fry in those. But I don't deep fry, it's like a saute. Now I do a thing where it's fry a little bit boil. It's like I'll pour water and combine it and it works. Really? Yeah, man, I got, when you do it over and over, you start frying waves. This is a little better. I don't want to fry it too hard i like in between

i'll throw some water oil and water don't mix but yeah you can put a top over so it is popping it is

popping it works yeah but it pops when you add the water a little bit a little bit yeah yeah good to know
