I think I remember going to St. Louis one time and having a really bad experience with the chicken.

0:07.0

And I was like, this place sucks, like I did. What chicken and where were you?

0:11.3

Somebody had recommended to my father this fried chicken place.

0:15.6

Gussys? I don't know what it is, but it was like the talk of the town, I guess,

0:22.0

this place is fried golden fried chicken. And as a black man, you mentioned fried chicken,

0:29.0

you know, I'm down. Okay. So we go and the chicken looks immaculate. We see it on people's

0:37.2

plates, we're getting excited. We sit down, we ordered the chicken, we bite into it,

0:42.9

and I'm like, why does it taste like this? We found out that they make they fry it in cornmeal.

1:43.2

I mean, being traumatized like that with bad fried chicken, like, you know, I don't know,

1:50.5

it's pretty traumatizing. Let me tell you. Cause like, how do you mess up fried chicken? It's like
