I wonder why he never made it to Food Network. I think "Big Daddy", is a cheap imitation for G. Garvin.  He would definitely bring something desparately needed to Food Network that I think the Neely's miss on.

One first has to understand the background of the cuisine to truly master it. You first must ask why it was prepared and its true purpose.

If this cuisine is to go main stream, I prey we never lose sight of how the meals brought comfort to families in often uncomfortable times and conditions.

Soul + Food = HOME!

as good as soul food is, we're the only ethnic group not making a killing selling our food to other races in this country.

we got sports & rap, people need to jump on soul food too lol

Good view on the background and power of soul food. Hopefully soul food will reach a wider acceptance and audience like most european cuisines. But in case it doesn't ... so what. It's still the food that helped to build America - and that's a part of history that will "never" change. Peace!

G. Garvin answered a question I have long struggled with.

Thanks G. That means a lot coming from a chef of your stature.

Mmm- an intelligent (good-looking) cook! He has a valid point about Soul Food being more than just food. It's about heart, bonding, connection- the depth of love that comes from Family.

U-GO-G!
