Country Store & Restaurant Judy's offers AMAZING Homemade Food Like the Rib dinner for ONLY $10 John Ward #theappalachianchannel #food #restaurant #tennessee #countrystore #ribs
Mom and Pop country stores take care of alot of people. Feed them ,have a little of whatever you need to save from driving to town and provide conversation and a friendly face. The people working there are literally The salt of the earth❤❤❤ .
Love the old girl in the kitchen when she was asked if she was working hard - "This work's not hard, it's steady". Women like that pioneered across America just getting stuff done! What a legend!
I have to agree with that. I’m so..glad I learn how to do both from my mother growing up. Love homemade Buttermilk biscuits, and Sausage gravy. My mother Mom made great homemade biscuits and Sausage gravy. No matter where you’re at in the south it’s all so…good.
Having travelled from the UK to the USA and travelled across it many times by road, I've always found the folk get nicer and nicer the further you get away from the cities. True Americans are the best, most welcoming of people. You can tell the fella cooking the ribs and biscuits is a quiet guy and is not entirely comfortable being filmed, but he went along with it anyway - Great guy with much skill turning out that much quality food in that space. Great video - Thank you.
I'm from Indianapolis and moved too Southern Indiana and people here are nicer than Indy. People in more rural areas just take things slower so their more easy going
@@hoosierproud7718definitely. I live right outside Indy [Hamilton county, you'll probably know where it is] and the people down in martinsville where my cousins live are so, so much nicer. Less concerned with stupid nonsense too. I always loved going to visit and just interacting with the people working in stores, restaurants, etc. They just make it fun to be around them. So nice and welcoming.
Probably 65-70% of people have worked in foodservice at sometime in their lives. It would be the 30% that have not, that can be impatient and demanding customers. No examples of that in this video but I was just thinking about it. Cooking for the public at any level, Chef or Cook deserves great respect.
If you wouldn't tell me there's no shakes, then give a shake to the person behind me, and when I bring that up, yall threaten to call the police, people wouldn't be so bitchy!
I did a quick search and you were spot on, 63% roughly have worked in the industry at some point in their life…while they don’t get the respect they deserve, they should, along with other service focused industries, be lauded for what they do. A certain famous person came to this earth to not be served but to serve. We all need to remember that when we want to pitch a fit that our food is taking too long…at least we have the time, money, and ability to even get the food.
Delivering food for the homebound. Working at a food shelf, or a food pantry is very satisfying. Giving a person a piece of paper, asking them to sign up for a monthly box when they deserve it, and need it is very cool.
What a lovely place with down to earth lovely people! Richard is a master in the kitchen...he has it down to a science with technique and timing and the food looks amazing! He may be quiet but he explodes with talent! Great video!
This is a really great video showing the country restaurants and i enjoy watching these about the lesser known stores and restaurants Thank You John.🇺🇲🍞🍔🥓🥩☕🇺🇲
This video 📷📸 was absolutely amazing and incredible. I love it when people want to keep old general stores in business because that is how it was back in the day. And I hope and pray 🙏 that these old general stores will always be alive. I want to personally say thank you to everyone at the general store for all of your hard work and dedication because it is outstanding 👍💪. But most importantly I want to thank John for all of his hard work and dedication for filming these amazing places. May the good Lord always bless everyone and keep you all safe and healthy where ever you go. Enjoy your day and take care
People that watch Gordon Ramsay on kitchen nightmares and wonder why he gets so pissed when a restaurant can’t clean its kitchen or serve edible food, look at this. These guys don’t have half the resources that some of those kitchens do, but they work hard and they appreciate the people they serve. That’s the difference. When you appreciate the people that you serve, you never want to disappoint them.
Richard is making biscuits with White Lily flour which is a SOFT strain of wheat found mostly in the South, while most wheat here in the USA is the HARD red winter wheat strain. The soft strain of wheat is known to produce much better biscuits. The brand is available on line for shipping. I love a good biscuit with some country ham on it. Best to all...
Look at this God taking raw ingredients and making absolute masterpieces of food without one shred of ego. I promise you this is better fooood than anything you'll get in a five star restaurant
I live in a small town called Whitwell TN just outside of chattanooga. I love watching this video im just 37 and its crazy how much things change over the years. Love little stores like this had a lot around here that are gone now. The older gentleman at the end of the video is the kind of guy you can set back and talk with all day.
The gentleman who was wearing the “Maynard Auto Parts” baseball cap was very informative (apology, I didn’t catch his name). I loved it when he said when he was growing up, money wasn’t a problem! So true! They ate pinto beans, cornbread, and fried potatoes. That is what I grew up on in North Texas. Those truly were good days and good people. Hard working just like he is talking about. Everything revolved around the Church! He is a very wise man. Would like to hear more from him. This was a very enjoyable video. Thank you John. God bless all! 🙏♥️
@@Vol4Life1962 Hard to find here in the Midwest sometimes It's all I used down south and only really wal-mart ( I don't shop there) and Jewel sell it but it's not the entire product line which I consider to be some of the best. I miss all the muffin mixes they were fantastic.
Our culture and the media glorifies the CEOs, politicians and movie stars, but these folks are the true backbone of America. They are the epitome of what makes America great. 💯
Thats okay, I wish it were more like the korean videos. They do the same thing but the camera man doesn't bother the cooks with small talk they just film the cooking process.
Used to love sweet baby rays bbq sauce until I tried Kinders !! I bet you’ll sell alot more ribs than you can handle if you use that trust me it’s great !
Very much enjoyed this video. The interviews were well done and the store owners and the employees were so interesting. Keep up the.great work. Thanks!
Now why didn't i do this instead of being a nurse. He's got that biscuit making down to a science. Actually its an art form. Best video I've seen in a while. Thank you.
Such an awesome family!!! The ppl interviewed are so interesting & genuinely nice! There’s such a difference in ppl - the Appalachian ppl we saw today are SO genuine, friendly, hardworking & the very opposite of artificial!!,
I remember Judy's years ago. I grew up in lafollette but I now live in Cleveland tn since 06. I sure do miss lafollette . Keep the videos coming. Thanks for the videos and you do a fantastic job.
these type stores are absolutely the best. imo there aren't enough of them. Martha is a national treasure. Women like her are what this country is missing.
This reminds me of the country store /last supply market. In Otter Creek Florida. They have a small kitchen. But they make the best biscuits .Sausage, egg bacon, etc ...Whatever you want from scratch.. They offer other menu items. But definitely have the best biscuits. Thank you for highlighting and reviewing these American treasures!! Hopefully you can do a review on that place.
I miss little mom and pop all in one spots like this from my childhood. Nothing similar exists here anymore. Very enjoyable watch and oh my my those huge home made biscuits and gravy look amazing. I’d be in that place every single day!
Great video! They all knew what they were doing and worked together very well. Everything they were preparing(food), looked absolutely delicious. Especially those ribs. A man of few words, but could tear a kitchen up! Safe traveling and Thumbs up!😎👍
OH MY GOODNESS!!! Do I wish I was in TN right now. This food looks absolutely mouth watering delicious. You are all are spoiled in TN for sure with all the great food. You can see there is alot of work but alot of love put into all this. Thanks for sharing another great video. Blessings from Wisconsin! 🙂💕👍
Really Great Behind The Scenes Video Of "Everday America" .. Nice. That Lady Who Liked Making "Philly Steaks" Is A Natural Beauty. (Apologize If She Is Married) Voice,Look,Personality...The Whole Package! (old Virginia Boy Here)
I love watching your videos because it's the way Portsmouth. New Hampshire used to be before It was taken over by Boston and New York developers and now my downtown is like Disneyland and people are just not nice anymore. Thank you for the reminder of how life could be.
I really enjoyed this video. Watching from Australia. I wish Richard and family well and hope the business continues to be a success. Richard seems like such a lovely man.
Love these little stores! I'm a Brit and used to visit friends in VA and GA. They would chat away to me assuming I was from the South too and you'd see a literal jaw drop when I would start speaking in my English accent. They'd be like; "What the???"😅 Richard without his glasses looks like Tim from our soap opera; "Coronation Street", by the way. Google. 😅 Loved this upload. Thank you!
I grew up around a spot just like this in Virginia. They still have really tasty fried bologna sandwiches and the old timers are still hanging around. Some of the nicest people around.
Just moved to Speedwell, Tennessee from the Fort Knox area and ive already attacked their biscuits and gravy. I absolutely love it here and love the feel of the store
once more before i pass i want to take a ride down the back roads and go visit the relatives and eat that good, fresh, homemade cooking. those green beans my granny made we all sat around and snapped those and she cooked them with bacon and i dont know what else but they were absolutely delicious i bet every family has their own way of making staples but i wish i had gotten the recipe, the other favorite was corn cut off from the cob they would put that into huge bags and freeze it, cornbread, oh i cant make it like she did, it had a nice crispy crust and was so delicate and soft in the middle omg it was delicious. everyone is gone from there now its so sad, lots of good memories and fantastic food.
Used to work in a food distribution warehouse. On my Thursday night shift, we would get done with work on Friday morning and quite a few days, I would end up going on my brothers route and head home with him to stay at my grandparents for the weekend. I eventually got my own route and loved visiting the buisnesses and seeing how some of the places made their food. My aunt was married to an old Vietnam Vet and his mother ran a small restaurant for a few years and ate there a few times. You learned where to and where not to eat while delivering food and supplies.
Everything looks amazing. I used to chef in a similar family run store up North. The prices here are much better than what we charged. I want to check out Judy's in my travels. 😃
John thank you for your videos I love the old general stores , I live in Dallas ,nc , we have two places like this Little Debbie’s and Time Out both are little country stores that serve good food and the folks are friendly, continue sharing your videos with us , thanks Ernest parker
Really enjoy your videos, I was raised just down the road from Judy’s Grocery. My Dad and Uncle pick up all the milk at the dairy farms there in the valley when I was younger. Great memories.
Pretty awesome. I remember back way over 30yrs ago my grandma had Back then Coble whole milk and was in a yellow gallon jug. I think that is pet brand milk but first time I saw a yellow gallon milk jug since then and we are in South Carolina not that far away. Really cool! Was supposed to help block as much light to keep it fresher longer I think was the idea.
It was a pleasure to meet you and visit this store. Lord willing, when I finally get moved to TN I hope there's a place like this nearby. Thanks for sharing this.
I know that food is right tasty, you can see the love put into it. Always love going to stores and eating places like this. We don’t have very many left here in Western North Carolina.
Love the mom & pop stores! That dude can sure cook. My mouth was watering just looking at all the good food. Gonna get down there and try it out. Good video
