LAFAYETTE: Welcome to Lafayette, Louisiana, and today we’re going to eat at Laura's II, what is easily one of the best Soul Creole food restaurants in the United States. They are famous for giant stuffed turkey wings which are about 2 pounds each, okra stew, and rice and gravy. Let’s see how the turkey wings are made and let’s eat!
I arrived to Laura’s II in Lafayette a little early in order to meet with Madonna. Madonna’s Grandmother, Laura, had a restaurant originally in a different location, and so that’s why the restaurant is called Laura’s II. They serve a variety of Creole Soul food, including a variety of rice dishes, stewed and smothered vegetables, bbq ribs, and the most famous of everything - giant stuffed turkey wings. The turkey wings are stuffed with a blend of spices including cayenne peppers, then seasoned fully with red pepper, and then boiled in a baking pan for 3.5 hours. The result is ultra tender turkey wings that are slightly crispy and gooey all at the same time. The sides dishes, including the rice and gravy and rice dressing (dirty rice), were outstanding, as was the smothered okra.
I can not emphasize this enough, it was probably one of the best Soul Food meals I’ve ever had in my life. Don’t miss Laura’s II when you’re in Lafayette, Louisiana!

Wow! Mark is finally in my home state. We have the best food here! For those struggling with the silence or lack of detailed explanations please understand us southerners do not measure and calculate when we cook. It is genuinely from the soul and most of us learn recipes by sight and taste only. That kitchen has a rhythm to it that no amount of explanation can capture. Thanks Mark!

Mark that's a great Southern Comfort Food experience. Those Turkey legs were so tender and the okra stew looked richer than the Gumbo soup which I love. My dad loved making Gumbo. The ribs were cooked just perfect and falling off the bone. Just you're reaction over the rice stuffing makes my mouth water. Monique and her staff are wonderful cooks. Well learned from her grandparents and her mom! Reminds me of my mom's mom who cooked Southern comfort meals herself this was just wonderful.

[@notmyworld44]

Okra is a southern food, and if you are a true southerner you're apt to call it "okree". It's not found much north of Tennessee. Here in my area of northwestern Arkansas it is found only in the frozen veggies section or pickled in jars. In the deep south it is a common fresh vegetable in the produce area. Okra is a member of the Mallow family, closely related to cotton. The pods must be very young to be edible, otherwise they become woody. I just made myself hungry for pickled okra, and will add it to my shopping list now. Great show, as usual, my brother!

This video is so heart warming! Mark you had the official Sunday dinner lean back meal! I love it! The food looks delicious!

[@tonioplease]

Love Mark giving inside looks at different cultures. They're hard to find but id love to see some native American cuisine, my grandma made the best bison burgers w/ a side of 3 sisters soup

[@ras4782]

That why he is my favorite on KZbin ..

[@VannieEats]

This looks absolutely amazing! Love seeing you try food in the US😍

🥰 I like when she giggled talking about how the red pepper seasoning was so hot, it would burn your hand lol… she tickled herself thinking about learning to cook. This reminds me of being in the kitchen with my mom on holidays and getting to practice recipes that were passed down along with the anecdotes

[@antoinemckethan6840]

that kitchen sounds like my kitchen ,when me& wiffey & my daughters getting ready for the holidays & celebrations

Laura’s 2 hands down a winner. Good food, portions, atmosphere, etc. Displaced during storm best food from lake charles to New Orleans. Owner nicest person and family pride. I sent 4 people and they all go back.

I love my Louisana Foods and when I moved there from the northeast I weighed 180 lbs and now after being there for 5 years I am proud to say I weigh a Whopping 286 lbs due to the Rich Greasy soul food. Yum! Yum!!

He is passionate as hell about food. Always smiling and showing his love for what he does true foody

I watch his video with my husband and family. Who else do that 🇬🇧🇬🇧💕💕💕

[@DellaCreme]

As an American who loves food and food TV, I sometimes get jaded or bored with seeing certain places highlighted because they are either run of the mill or I’ve seen them a million times. As a Black American Woman, this episode gave me all the feels!!! This reminds me of my mother, home, the warm hugs you get after Sunday service or the discipline you get at Sunday school. It hits right at my core where there are no measurements… you just stop shaking on the seasoning when you feel the ancestors pull at your arm. LOL. Such a great job, Mark and team. I’m vegetarian at the moment but I would slap somebody if that turkey Wang (because that right there is not simply a wHing 😂) was put in front of me… okaaaay!

[@leeleemee]

I understand your feelings (memories) 🥰. Videos from ‘Mae Mae’s Happy Table’ do the very same thing for me, there were a few that had me near tears. Her accent and voice are so southern and soothing. She’s a treasure.

I love Mark's "OH WOW" as much as I love seeing him enjoy his eats...Say it again Mark "OH WOW!"

[@bethyor]

When he leans back and rolls his eyes, you know the food hit thee spot! Oh woooow

[@iamflay3776]

Finally someone knows the secret. When that eye rolls back. Just know it’s good

[@rosalynnbarnett5907]

Lol! So true

[@onepeace1274]

So true! The eye roll and the Oh wow are the key. The additional thing that tells you he loves the food is he doesn't reach for seasoning or sauce to flavor it with.

[@jamaabdikarimjama7582]

Ya already know lol

[@jenniferf1518]

I truly don't know where he puts all that food. Mark's amazing! Nice appreciation for this small family business!

[@jubilantjane5149]

The food at Laura's II looked SO amazingly delicious and comforting, Mark! Nothing like Soul Food, that's for sure! The portions were so big, no wonder you had to do the lean back afterwards! 🤣🤣🤣 Madonna and her staff were awesome! Great video!
