My great aunt. She was a chef? Well, all of them. All of them. They were just excellent cooks. OK. And two of them are still living. OK. In their late 70s and early 80s, they're still cooking. And still participating? Still cooking. Family reunions, birthday parties. Absolutely. OK, funerals, all that they're cooking for it. Funerals, yes. OK. OK. So you remember the first time, you know what I'm saying, they put all the responsibility on you for the holidays and said, hey, yo, Elliot, you up. That was about, I think it was 1988. 1988. 1988. That was a good year right there, man. It was a very good year. Yeah, that's when Def Jam came out. OK. OK. That was when Bobby Brown had then left New Edition. OK. Yeah, it was a good year.

There you go. So after the cornbread then came what? Well, since being from Atlanta to Atlanta, Grady Baby, we did a lot of soul food. You're very disrespectful. OK. No, no, no. What's your respect for your decade? Residency. But we did a lot of soul food. OK. So if we grew it, it was in the pot. So greens, you know, snapping pole beans in the backyard, you know. OK. Not the canned stuff. We didn't have canned anything. Still don't have canned. OK. But you know. So you've been on growing your own vegetables. Y'all been on that? My last name is Farmer. That's where it was. OK. Yeah, absolutely. Still growing. Got to this day. To this day. You got a form in your backyard. I got a little something going on. I can dig it. I got a little something going on. I see you've been brought your own spices over here with your face on there. Yeah. Yeah. She felt it so shaken season it. It's so shaken season it. All purpose, low sodium. OK. So we ain't doing liars no more. Don't do that. OK. Save your blood pressure. I want to save my blood pressure. I'm 40 now. I just turned 40 in May and whatnot. I'm trying to live a little bit longer. You're going to do that. I'm walking seven miles a day. And we going to keep on doing it. So tell me what's inside of this spice, man? This soul-shaking season it. Well, actually, I want to make you a plate, because most of the dishes that I have right here is seasoned with my Chef Elliott soul-shaking season it. OK. All right, man. Can I make you something? If you don't mind. Yeah, I'm going to make you something. So what are we going to do? OK. We're going to do a little quarter of a pineapple. A quarter of a pineapple. Quarter of a pineapple. Safe word, pineapples. Herb rice. OK. Yeah, just a little right there. All right, I see what you did. Yeah, we're going to just put some saute shrimp, which is flavored with some butter, right? Man, I can't do this by myself. Wiz, come on over here, man. Come on, Wiz. Come get you a plate, baby. We're going to put you a little bit of this teriyaki chicken breast right there. Wiz, did you bring your appetite, brother? OK. Just kind of do that like that. You've got to make it rain. You've got to make it rain on you? It's a different green, but it's there raining. I see what you did. Try that out right there, and I'm going to give you some tripping grits. And tripping grits? Absolutely. Man, OK, it ain't never a wrong time for it, though. I see what you're doing. Yeah. This looks sexy. Hey, just like a movie. Food should look sexy. OK. You're going to eat with your eyes before you eat with your palate. Man, I do everything with my eyes. Well, one of them. This is crazy. So we got some smoked gutter grits. Now, listen, it takes me two hours to cook my grits. And what have you done? I don't like them gritty. I like them creamy. These shrimp is amazing, bro. That's that Chef LA's home chicken seasoning. OK. I want you to try some of these shrimp and grits. OK. Let me see what's going on right there. Be careful with that. OK, it's hot, too. It's a little hot. It's a little hot. It's hot. Come on, let's get one of these. Just quail right here, man. Yeah. I mean, grits ain't a wrong time to eat some grits. Listen, I eat breakfast for lunch, dinner, snack, and before bedtime. Wow. Isn't that all right? It's like a party in my mouth when everyone's invited. Every. Well, I don't know. This is crazy. But yeah. And the thing is, it's a Norlin's flavor, right? I've been there two times. Yeah, I was at the Essence Festival before. Yeah, this is Norlin's flavor. A Norlin's flavor. OK. Absolutely. Let him get a little bit right here. This is delicious, Elliot. Thank you. You do this. Just a little something. I pull it together in about an hour. Hey, man, with all the mental health awareness going on these days and whatnot, you got to put me, take me with you like, what are you thinking about when you're making this stuff? Where are you at mentally? So I'm in a zone. And actually, cooking for me is very therapeutic. And I have a psychology background, so I know all too well about mental health. But what you want to do is allow the food to do its thing for you. Because what you're doing, if you focus on who you're cooking for, why you're cooking for them, allow that love to come up out of you from your ancestors and let it pour out into your food. Now you're preaching. It's going to do what it's supposed to do. And it's going to calm you down without even realizing you're calming yourself down. Because you're now focused on the food versus what your problem was. Absolutely. I love what you just did right there. Absolutely. This is delicious, man. Absolutely. I want you to try one of these desserts here, too. OK. Yeah, we got you a new baby. Normally, I wouldn't do this because it'll go straight to my hips. OK, but you're doing that seven miles a day, right? Yeah, I'm doing the seven miles. We're just going to do seven and a half in the next time. I think I have a little bit in the name of Jesus. We're going to do it seven and a half and work that out. Since I'm here. Since you're here. Since I'm here. I got one for you two, man. OK. What's that taste in life? Mm, it's bussing. That's what the new people be saying, this bussing. Bussing. Bussing. Yeah. This is, I'm like, what is this? That's a no-bake cherry cheese pie. A no-bake cherry cheese pie. That mean you didn't bake it? You didn't bake it. OK, that's what they know on the bake. I got it. I see what you're saying. Yeah, that's the guy. That's it. That's it. OK. Isn't that nice? This is amazing. Yeah. I don't know what I was doing before. Well, you was doing all right. This is a three-quart meal. Easy. This is amazing. All of this. An hour, maybe an hour and a half with cleanup. You put this, you put a, you made up this whole entree and an hour and a half, including cleanup. Wow. People think cooking takes all day and all night because that's what we would talk. I would talk that you cook collard greens all night. You cook a ham all night. OK. Listen, that's too much for me. It's too much. That's too much. I cook my collard greens at least 30 minutes once it's all boiling. Time, 30 minutes. Turn that sucker off. Keep it covered. The steam is going to tenderize those greens on its own. You ain't got to cook all the amount. If you could do that, you're cooking all the nutrients and vitamins out anyway. I need my nutrients and my vitamins. So you don't have to always do seven miles. I don't want to always do it. Right. And then what we're doing is we're taking away from our family time. When you're in the kitchen all the time, everybody having a good time, family time. But you, that's going to create a little negative energy in the household. 100%. I need to think about it like that. Be able to create something that's going to be good, going to be healthy, and going to be quick. And I have those in my cookbooks. Recipes in my cookbook. You got a cookbook, too? I have several. Wow. Yeah, put an S on that for me. Amanda, I'm sorry I didn't respect you, bro. I apologize, but I got a few cookbooks. Which you're successful at. No, I can't have it. Come on, man. You said you had Amazon and all that. Where can people find your cookbook? Listen, right now, if you go to my website, www.chefelliers.com. In-house. In-house, saving all that extra money. Chef Elliott, that's C-H-E-F-E-L-L-I-O-T-T, 2Ls, 2Ts.com. You'll be able to get my seasoning. You'll be able to see what my next thing coming up is. You'll be able to get my cookbooks and any other stuff that I have out there that merchandise. 100%. Absolutely. Chef Elliott, what is it all about for you? What do you want, ultimately? The ultimate thing that I want is to have my own cooking show again. A lot of you have seen me on the Food Network. You know, they still running reruns, especially the Christmas episode I did, Naughty or Nice. They're going to start showing that again, I'm sure, around November, right? You've very accomplished. The Lord has been kind. The Lord has been kind. You've seen me on H-L-L-N as guest celebrity chef for a lot of the anchors that have cook-off shows. You've seen me on The Taste when it aired on ABC, if I'm able to do that. You've seen me on my own YouTube channels. You know, Chef Elliott, Farmer. So, yeah, we make guest appearances a lot of times. And you tell me you're coming back to New Jack Dweller City, right? Please tell me that. If I'm invited back now, I'm definitely invited back. You, yeah, this is your second home now. Yes, we'd love to have you. I'm honored. Wiz, can you come back? Yeah, of course. There it is right there, man. This is of course. Yeah, come on, man. Now, when you come back, I'm going to make some cornbread. We'd love that. I'm going to make some cornbread, and I'm going to make you some ox tail. Man, I want some ox tail. Some cornbread, and what goes cornbread, ox tail? You got to have the rice. I'm going to make you a mess of greens. That's what we call them in Atlanta. We call them messes. I don't know what you call them in the gator. But in Atlanta, we call them a mess of greens. OK, y'all see what you did to me again. And before you go, could you just remind me of something? Yeah. Cat Williams had this joke on his latest special about ox tails. What is it? Like, what is ox tails made from? What part of the, is it a cow, is it an ox? Where is that? Oh, it's definitely the tail of the ox. OK. Is exactly what it is. Some got a little meat. Some got a little bone. I try to get in between. I see what you did right there. I'm excited about it. I'm excited about it. Ox tails coming soon. Absolutely. Yo, Chef Elliott, man, thanks for coming to New Jack Dweller City, man. Is there anything you want to say to our audience, man, before we get up out of here? Listen, I would love for you to follow me on social media. You can get me on IG at Dr. Chef Elliott's Farmer, that's C-H-E-F-E-L-L-I-O-T-T farmer. I'm on Facebook. I'm on Twitter. Chef Elliott, just do two L's, two T's. Hit me up. I love to travel with you. We travel all over the world. OK. It's not a problem. It's not a, listen, my passport is always current. OK. Always current. You know what's funny about you two, man? You didn't always like cooking. Oh, I hated it. You hated it. When did that change for you? When people start paying. God damn. All right, daddy, it's right there. You give me a little money. I'll cook whatever you want. OK, just as simple as that. But now you got to give me a little more than a little money. I see what you did. But that's a little. I cook whatever you want. Daddy, hey, Chef Elliott, y'all. New Jack thriller city. Let's go. Hey, what's up? This your boy Jack thriller man. Love important music, going right on in. So music, uh, what's yours? Hey, let me bring up your liquor. I have, it has come to my understanding that they are extremely necessary. And very important for people who have assets to protect. And it's not fair for someone to simply benefit off of all of your hard work, because things didn't work out in the relationship, you know. Now, not to be mistaken for, because I don't fully know. And I have to do some research on the details of it. But I don't know if it entails, you know, certain things or if it doesn't. So for instance, um, in my opinion, I think it's only right that when you came into my life and whatever you contributed to that, you know, you can make a case for. But everything before is, it should be off limits to you. You know, so if I'm of a certain net worth, but when you came in, you can, you contributed by being an asset to my life, you probably participated in things that helped to generate, you know, what contributed to my overall net worth. That percentage, you know, I think that there is a timeline that needs to be respected. And if you want to talk about giving out, you know, whatever, you know, it should be according to that. But not the whole thing, because it takes time, you know, for a lot of people that have become super, super successful. It takes a lot of time for that. There's a lot of work and a lot of buildup. A lot of, you know, sleepless nights and, you know, long hours and, you know, trial and error and loss and gains. So for you to just move in on the back end and maybe two or three years or whatever or five years and then stuff don't work out. And then we just really just talk about marriage because that's what a prenup is, you know, is relevant to. I don't think that it's fair for you to, you know, get a percentage off of the whole thing, off of my whole situation, you know? Cause I hear that argument, I, well, you know, I contributed too, and if it wasn't for me, ah-da-da, facts. So let's just talk about that segment of my life, you know, the time where you came in, you know? So I think that, you know, they should be heavily advocated for because it's important for you to protect, you know, the things that you built and you worked hard for, you know, that nobody was with you shooting in the gym, you know, with, so not on that, you know? And, you know, I think that that's, no one, and I think that, you know, I can only imagine only women who may have something to say about that. Don't be so off-putting by that. You should respect the fact that a person takes, you know, care of the things that they worked hard for because that's the same energy that you're gonna get, that same energy that your family is gonna get. And they're just gonna let nobody just, you know, take from them like that. They'd like to secure, you know, things that are important to them. So, yeah, in my humble opinion. Now, what do you say to that person that says, and let me know if you answered this already, that says, man, you're going into a situation with a negative agenda already by getting a prenuptial agreement. How is that negative? Because you're expecting that it's a possibility that it'll fail, whereas you should go in there with a attitude that, hey, this is gonna work either way. So, baby, and if it don't, then we're gonna just suffer the consequences of a failed relationship. And what happens with that is- But suffering the consequences of a failed relationship shouldn't have a negative result on everything I built. Like, so I have a negative attitude towards making sure that regardless of what happens between you and I, certain things that need to be, you know, secure are secured. That's having a negative attitude. Then don't protect yourself from anything then. Don't have a security system on your house. You're entering into it negatively. You just acting like people gonna break into your house and still yourself. You shouldn't think like that. You should be positive and operate out of abundance. Like, come on, man. I can be positive and optimistic. I can be grateful even and still be protective. It's why I'm protective, because it's that valuable to me. That's what I would say to that. Hey, man, yo, you totally answered my question. I'm definitely gonna get a prenuptial agreement music. Hey, with that being said, I'm gonna see you next time on Love, According to Music. Yo, I got my man over here. Yo, with Caddy. Yo, man, I got the, you know, the internet sensation. You know, yesterday he had like over 10 million hits online and counting. You first seen him like, I think I wanna say it was a Popeye's or something. You know, he had some chicken and, you know, he started doing the funky chicken out there. You know what I'm saying? The boy got his own dance moves and whatnot. It's the man, the myth, the legend, you know, formerly as the Groovy Gorilla. Yo, I give you big crew. What's up, boy? What's up? How you been, baby? How you been? How you been? Why? I feel great. I feel blessed. God, man, blessings, blessings, blessings. Be here. Glad to put smiles on people's faces. I'm out of here. I'm ready. Hey, Dahl, you everywhere right now, man. Hey, yo, I watched your following climb, like, dramatically. Like, I remember when you had like 10,000 followers and what you had damn near the way to 300,000? Like, 270K? OK. OK, man, tell me about the love, man. Tell me, like, everywhere you go, everybody, like, you change in the game. I've seen Bobby Schmurder, you hear shit, you've seen you with Snoop Dogg. You know, everybody is getting in the groove. One nation under the groove. He said, one nation. Everyone's grooving. They grooving, man. It's awesome because when people like see me in public, they'd be like, yo, is that dancing guy? And they'd be like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I just started laughing because I'm like, the fact that I'm over here dancing and being myself and they're appreciating it just makes me smile. Makes me go. When it started and what made you do that? It goes way back. I was like a kid and, you know, you got served. That's like the core of everything. You know, everybody, you know, when you saw that movie, you're just like, yeah. I was just like, we'll be practicing the moves. And I'm like, yo, I love this. And I was overweight. I was really overweight. So that's when it comes into the fitness. And between being overweight and dancing, I'm like, yo, I want to like be able to move better. So that kind of like motivated me to like, you know, lose weight so I could dance better. And after that, I started becoming a bodybuilder and it never stopped. So I just kept going and going and going. Get out of here. So like when we first saw you online dancing, that wasn't the first time you had actually been inside of fast food establishment and, you know, egging a goddamn food. Nah, nah, like man, food always makes me like, you know, I'll be, I'll be getting it. You know, when I eat something, I'll be happy and I'll be dancing. You know how when you eat something so good, you're just like, you're just happy. And that's always been me. I just ate Chef Elliot food just now and that's how I was. I was in my theater. I ain't, I ain't, I'm not, I'm not a great dancer. I used to be back in the day when I used to strip it pent-ups and whatnot. But, you know, as a 40 year old man, I didn't lost it. That was back when my name was Bob White. Oh. Yeah, yeah. He small but he'll cut you. That was my whole little modeling whatnot. But that's the old me, man. That's the old me. Let's, let's talk about the name change. Okay. So when I first, actually my name was Clive Too Fit before. Clive Too Fit. Yeah, Clive Too Fit. You got a real black name. Clive. What man, what's up, Clive? What's your number, baby? That's the first. Got a 70's name. So, so I was thinking like, you know, I want to change my name because I started dancing because before I blew up, I used to just like do my work. Hey, hey, don't be so modest. Before I even blew up, I used to just dance. I'd just be in the gym. I'd just be like, you know, dancing, dancing to the gym. Everyone in the gym looking at me crazy. And I'd be like, I'm just going to just put it on social media. I don't even care anymore. So that's how it really started. That's why I saw it. You was in the gym. Yeah. Because that's where I really started. Yeah. Okay. So I was just like, you know, I was competing for my first competition. So like I had no social life. It was always just eat, sleep, gym, repeat. So I'm like, I'm just dancing to the gym. So, um, and I'm like, yeah, I want to change my name. Something more catchy. And I'm like, yeah, I'm really like, I love gorillas and I'm like, oh, I'm big. I'm like, big like a gorilla. That's dope. So I'm like, all right. Grooving gorilla. That sounds dope. And then my friend was like, it was like Doug Grooving gorilla. And then she's like, no, Grooving gorilla. I'm like, yeah. Grooving gorilla. That's hard. So I'm like, that's a catchy name. Just in case, you know, when I'm performing for my competition and they're like, Grooving gorilla on the stage. That's what I was thinking. Yeah, yeah. This is what happened. For sure. So, um, so when I started blowing up, a lot of people- I didn't really think of it as like a race thing at all. It was just like, you know, gorilla, I was like, kind of- It came from a genuine place. That's how- Yeah. You know, you know, and I'm- So, and then at the same time, people were just like, you know, branding-wise, it's not a good look because they don't want like Caucasians referring to me as a gorilla. And I was like, I understand that. So I'm like, for marketing purposes, I'm going to change it to like big Grooving. You so respectful. You're so respectful. You're so respectful. You're so respectful. You're so respectful. You're so respectful. You're so respectful. I can dig it. I can dig it. So that's how all that like happened with that. I can dig it. So like, when people like, like myself, like, I remember when you made the name change, and you explained that and whatnot. And was that- Well, you at first, was you scared like, damn, everybody know me as this? Is it gonna be, is this gonna change, like my flow? If I change my name right now? I mean- Yeah, I did. I was like deciding, I was like, okay, I'm cool- I was like decided and I'm like, uh, I mean you made a big impact in a short period of time, bro Yeah, yeah, and I was like, you know, but everyone like the real the real people who really rock with me are gonna Like a gorilla dude. They still do. Yeah Particular point. It's like a aka. Yeah, you know exactly. Yeah So, you know, but I was just like, you know long-term brand-wise. It's a smart decision. So like I'm gonna do No, I couldn't gorilla still like, you know, I'm still like ready to go where where I had seen you also that when I knew it was catching on you was at one of my homeboys Shannon Walden. Oh, yeah, you know, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he does the What you call that shit when you got the earphones on and silent parties? Yes Doing your time and I was like, oh, I'm gonna cut up.

Not just me You don't need you know people don't dance Yeah, what do you think that is bro, man, I stopped grooving. No pun intended. No, you know, all these masculine man They just wanted to be cool to be like, yeah, you know, no, that looks too weird I'm not gonna do that because you know, I'm trying to be cool But like be yourself. Yeah, happy people just want to be the same because they don't want to be judged or look upon But like you got to just not really care and once I tap into that just like I feel free And you know what people don't even realize they being judged by people that that are insecure with their mom And they're trying to figure it out. Yeah, and when people just start to realize that nobody really gives a fuck And just move on with your life and just live and let live then I think we'll be all inside of a better place, man Yeah, everyone just loves themselves. You know, that's what's most important. You're happiness Nobody else is like your happiness and once you you feel happy with yourself Nobody else's opinion matters because you know, you love what you're doing that you better preach Yeah, you better preach.

You have a very deep voice But they say I don't have a deep but they say like I talk like soft I'm like, oh, okay Man, fuck they They always saying some bullshit So I'm basically just like showing Men that you know, you could be yourself and you can still you know Do your thing and not feel like you have to act a certain way Like I just think it's ridiculous.
