  • @smiletogreet if you try the recipe you will think differently :) my recipes are perfectly balanced and authentic. But thanks for watching. Infact email me your address so i can send you some spices and you will see why people love my recipes :)

  • This is an interesting way to cook Collards. I'll have to try the mix of collards and turnip greens. The ending results looked WOW!!!! New fan. How does one get a sample of your spices?? Thanks

  • @fulfillednchrist Hello my friend! thanks for watching Id love to send you some samples. Please visit my web page at keithlorren. c o m and click the 7 sample collection link. Looking forward to hearing how you enjoy them! :-)

  • I like your method of cooking greens but I have 2 questions: 1) greens tend to be bitter why didn't you add sugar to kill the bitterness? 2)usually most people don't like the stems in the greens because they take longer to cook; why not add vinegar to help break them down? OTHER THAN THAT NOT BAD!!!!

  • @gnabgnab1 Thank you so much for watching!! :-) my collard green seasoning is perfectly balanced to counteract the bitterness and enhance the flavor! you should try it. I have a free promotion going on now! :-)

  • lawd lawd, all that smoked meat & pigtail too I know it was jammin' One thing though, rinse those greens off b4 cooking. A few cases of salmonella breakouts here and there with the spinach in a bag so it can happen with the greens too!!!! But I sure could use a plate. I wasn't able to rate your vid, it was disabled***

    I GIVE THIS A THUMBS UP

  • Keith we see that you know what you are doing in the da kitchen but brotha you are trying too hard. You are working yourself like chefs on the foodnetwork. To be honest the chefs on youtube are waay better then FN chefs. All the krazy camera movements and force acting on FN gets on my nevers and make me dizzy (don't do that). Just be yourself brotha! You look good, you speak well and your cooking is what people want.

  • Wait, where's the chicken and the red beans and rice?

  • A meal fit for a KING!

    Ahhhhhh yeah.

  • the man is blessed (and i blessing, too, i bet!) -- not only does he know how to cook (it good!) but he's got what you call a real "runway kitchen." work it, babes!!! all power to ya!

  • I'm sure the greens was already pre-washed.  You saw the bag was already opened. Leave him alone~!

  • Love it!!

  • Keith - just some feedback from another chef. I urge you to rethink your choice of presentations that are health conscious for all and don't include pork. Otherwise, it looks good!

  • Dam you fine as hell

  • Great video Keith...I also mix Turnip Greens with my Collards!

  • NOW I KNOW HOW TO COOK SOME GREENS, THANKS KEITH
