Grits is a corn porridge, with the corn having the yellow skin removed. That is why it is white. It is also called hominy. If I remember correctly, the skin is dissolved off of it with a caustic solution (lye?) and then washed, dried, and ground. There are a lot of food that use this process like olives. I like grits with just salt, pepper, and butter but they can be served with cheese, bacon, or even shrimp added to it.

@ashleydixon4613 Год назад

Grits are indeed ground up hominy, which is corn soaked in lye. There’s white and yellow hominy, btw. Shrimp and grits are my fave.

@alexlail7481 Год назад

As a southerner in most privately owned restaurants the waitresses pride themselves on the fact they they will keep your glass of sweet tea within 1inch of the rim. In some restaurants you'll find the ninja waitresses that you never see fill your glass up but no matter how much you drink it will remain nearly full. Also standard practice in the south is no charge for refills on non-alcoholic drinks, it's becoming more common around the US now but has been standard here fir decades... at least back to the 1960s

@jsamuelsen Год назад

Properly cooked collards are heavenly! I don't know if I would like the citrusy ones they had.

@richardlong3745 Год назад

We've driven up to this particular Savannah restaurant "Sweet Potatoes" twice visiting friends, were from Fleming Island Fl. and this restaurant is a real treasure. Also we've been to the UK a large number of times because business and visiting friends that are UK citizens, believe me you 'ain't' eaten a true "Southern Fried Chicken" if your naming KFC or any other fast food establishments menu items as a example. Great southern fried chicken takes knowledge, timing and love to make it happen and Sweet Potatoes pulls it off every time.

@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay Год назад

So what is the difference between true Southern Fried Chicken and say like KFC, Popeye's, or others? Is it seasoning? Batter differences? Cooking method?

@kamthornhill477 Год назад

All of the above, true Southern fried is never from frozen, involves multiple steps and is never going to be matched by any fast food place... The best places can have lines out the door on a weekend.

@Ameslan1 Год назад

Hey Millie and James! I was born and raised in the South Atlanta Georgia. I can say that the server/waitress in this JOLLY video is a wonderful model of true Southern hospitality. She was fantastic as you can see for yourselves. Ollie resembles a real life Olaf from Frozen. I love the Jolly channel! They are both great!

@louielou2012 Год назад

@janp719 Год назад

Both had pecan butter. One was melted the other still solid. The chicken was coated in crushed pecans.

@caretaker158 Год назад

I think you'll find that this is not a chain restaurant. It's a totally Savannah, GA experience. And one worth having, judging by the way the guys reacted to the food.

@raroba01 Год назад

Definitely not a chain like they think. It's a local restaurant.

@gacaptain Год назад

I think it’s only in Savannah at that one location.

@jdbroders64 Год назад

As an American, KFC is considered pretty much the bottom of the barrel of fried chicken chains here. IMHO, Popeye's is the best for a chain restaurant. KFC is not even close. With that said, what the Jolly lads experienced in this local place (it's not a chain just a local restaurant) is typical in the South regarding the food and the hospitality and service. I lived in the South for many years and there are so many local restaurants like this everywhere and the food is so good. It's truly amazing.

@meganhallman0812 Год назад

Ahhh idkk north carolina here and I HATEEE Popeyes. KFC has changed as well used to be better , better to find a mom and pop place to find the best food in the south not the big chains

@JustMe-dc6ks Год назад

To be fair KFC is apparently much better overseas. It’s really gone down hill in the US since the 70s. Though good or bad only the extra crispy might count as an example of fried chicken anyway.

@gacaptain Год назад

I think both the sweet potatoes and the chicken had the same pecan butter on them. It’s just the heat of the potatoe hadn’t melted the butter yet.

@swilli3476 Год назад

Yep. Country fried chicken, a chicken fillet prepared like chicken fried steak. It’s southern and fried and chicken, but not southern fried chicken.

@dr_waffle_house Год назад

Collard greens may be similar to what you call tete (Nigerian) or callaloo (Carribean) in the UK. I've NEVER had them cooked with lemon though. Grits would be very similar to what you know as polenta. They are great with butter, salt & pepper and cheese.

@faureamour Год назад

You guys were right. I love this video and watching people react to this video, but Josh definitely gets it wrong when he calls the pecan butter sweet potato butter. Also, most teas, lemonades, soft drinks and coffee are bottomless at American restaurants. You also get endless ice water unless you ask otherwise.

@janfitzgerald3615 Год назад

I was kind of surprised when she said the cook used lemon juice in the collards. Bacon or a ham hock are usually the standard additions. They’re not the easiest thing to prepare, you have to wash them really thoroughly and then it takes awhile for them to cook so they’re tender. I love Savannah, what a great example of southern hospitality!

@alwaystopkiller1_573 Год назад

Her pregnancy glow is unreal love you guys

@yugioht42 Год назад

Collards are kinda like kale but a bit harder to cook because they tend to get dirty and it’s difficult to wash. Often done with a full ham bone for flavor and some type of acid but never lemon, usually vinegar would suffice. The point is to cook it till it’s soft which takes a while, drained, and served straight with some pork bits in there. It’s a standard side dish in the south. Basically it’s in the cabbage family anyway right. A little cornbread on the side with the meat and you got a balanced meal in front of you.

@johnlake4809 Год назад

Can I just say that pregnancy must suit Millie. She is absolutely aglow. I also love how she has come out of her shell since she first started helping with the channel. I knew my daughter was pregnant before she told me, my wife accidentally spilled the beans. I had her convinced that women head a certain "glow", she spent 20 minutes in front of the mirror, saying "Dad I just don't see it." I didn't want to rat our my wife, so we never told her. When she had her 2nd child 3+ years later, I GOT HER AGAIN! She thinks I'm psychic! LOL😂

Grits are dried and ground hominy. Hominy is corn that has been treated with an alkalai to make is more digestible.

@jueneturner8331 Год назад

If grits are soaked 8 hours or more they are creamy in texture. They're very good that way.

@jeffreystanley7884 Год назад

It's funny the U.S. I find has 5 distinct regions of food. And a few styles of BBQ that are their own thing. Each area has unique comfort food that is tremendous.

@yugioht42 Год назад

Greens from all sorts can be used in southern cooking, I’ve heard of turnip greens and certain species of mustard being used along with young closed fiddlehead ferns. The point is if the land gives you it, use it to some extent. We occasionally hunt rabbit, duck, deer, fish, alligator maybe once a year, and certain birds to get served at the dinner table. The law of nature is you earned it by hunting it and you must never waste a kill because you did it yourself. Trust me it’s good food just some people don’t like that we do it. I figure if you can remain safe you should be ok. Occasionally you might get a freshly hunted frog which is fine as long as it’s done properly. Frogs legs are good if enough spice is used. Unfortunately you can’t shoot turkey in Florida as they don’t really exist down here.

@OcotilloTom Год назад

Never heard of Collard Greens flavored with lemon. It's usually bacon and I add a bit of Trappy's clear pepper sauce sprinkled on top, same with my mustard and turnip greens, though I do add a bit of sugar to the turnips and greens when cooking them. My family in Louisiana grows sweet potato's and other things commercially so I think I've had them just about anyway you can think of. As far as catfish...some restaurants do OK but going to a place that specializes in catfish, shrimp's and oysters etc. is the way to go and there are tons of them in the South, places with names like Catfish Charlies. Catfish Cabin etc.....same with bar-b-que, I never order it in a restaurant when there are so many GREAT bar-b-que places around. You want to eat good food, meet nice people...head to the South where we believe a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet!

Savanna, Georgia is beautiful. This was a Mom and Pop place. I love corn pudding it is often served at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

@kellyoehlschlager6985 Год назад

Millie was right about the butter. At around 12:43 the waitness said "Sweet hot garlic pickles" and then "pecan butter for the chicken". Pecan butter was also used earlier on the sweet potatoes. I think Josh heard the "sweet" for the pickles and the "butter" for the chicken, and then remembered the sweet potato from earlier....then his mind somehow combined everything and created sweet potato butter. 😂 Sounds good though.

Have you ever had polenta? In an Italian restaurant, maybe? Grits is basically Southern polenta. Grits are often made from white cornmeal (although not always) while polenta is usually made from yellow, but they're basically the same thing. My family's Italian and I grew up eating and loving polenta, so when I tried grits for the first time in my 40s, I instantly recognized and loved it. :)

@therockbiter8140 Год назад

The trick with sweet potato, is that you have to cook them really really hot, like 400f to caramelize the sugars in them. If you cook them at low temps they just stay kind of starchy and grainy and bland. But if you get them really really hot, they get super sweet and soft.

Grits by themselves are pretty bland. It depends on what you add to them that makes the meal. Personally I like them with butter, sugar and just a splash of milk. I haven't had them for many years, but now I'm craving them.

@sabalomglitz6478 Год назад

I make mine with milk and water with butter. When cooked MORE BUTTER. Then pepper.

@kenashburn5473 Год назад

If you have the opportunity do not skip the grits. I grew up in the south and never ate grits until I was pushing 50 years old because I also always disliked gritty, nutty foods but I found out I love grits. They are only "gritty" if cooked incorrectly. At a minimum they do need butter and plenty of salt and pepper, otherwise they are fairly bland.

@brendahowell6796 Год назад

@savannahbennett3284 Год назад

@twenty3enigma Год назад

Ordinarily, collard greens are not at all sour. It's customary to cook them with ham hocks &/or bacon grease in the salty water -- some savory goodness to help overcome their initial pre-cooking bitterness.

@Zundfolge Год назад

I'm sure this restaurant is excellent, but the truth is the best Southern Fried Chicken you'll ever have is made by someone's grandmother in her kitchen. I will say that Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina are my favorite cities on the Atlantic coast.

@taureanpov Год назад

We don't put lemon in collards. Their at a restaurant feeding the masses. Collard greens are cooked with smoked meat, sugar, & apple cider vinegar. The sugar cuts the bitterness and the vinegar makes the collards more tender.

@kevinbrown3075 Год назад

I wish she’d have recommended that they put some of that Texas Pete’s vinegar sauce on those collards. A spicy vinegar sauce takes collards to the true Southern level. I grew up eating collard greens in the Western part of Georgia and never have I seen them cooked with lemon or lemon juice… usually, it’s a ham hock or as my grandad loved them… pig tails.😂 If you do ever make it to Savanna Ga., don’t collect any of the Spanish moss hanging from the trees, it’s chock full of chiggers and you don’t want them unseens navigating your body.
