What gets me is everything that you eat is always so delicious and never just ok or bad

[@MattDV]

Hi Justin, I have so much footage of spots I did not like. I have posted a few. I get most of my suggestions from you, the subscribers. And most of them are really good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5upgnt9l72pppYsi=F8dag-MRU-RSJ16q

Y’all got to understand, some foodies don’t post every experience. You have to use your common sense. For the foodies who do post their bad experiences, they get negative comments for it. You just can’t satisfy people.

[@ronalddowdell9231]

God bless the owner.....I wish her all the success in the world.

[@MattDV]

Yes indeed. Thank you for the comment.

To get off the subject- I'm 74 and living Down Neck. When I was a kid my father took me to wrestling matches at Sussex Av and Jay St. The sight of the Newark Armory! What memories!😂 anyway, I'll checking out the food !!😂

[@MattDV]

oh wow, they had wrestling matches there? Interesting times. Thanks for sharing.

[@Downecker]

@@MattDV HI! Wrestling was a big deal in the 50's and 60's. I'm 74 and seen all the heros and villains at the Newark Armory. Bruno Sammartino , Iron Sheik, Killer Kowalski, the Graham Brothers, Haystack Calhoon and the midget wrestlers ! The best of times for a kid growing up ! ! Great time to be a kid!!

[@MattDV]

LOL, I remember Ray Candy, Mr Clean, and Andre The Giant from the 70s. My dad used to take us to August, GA, to see them.

My favorite sides to get are cabbage/collards mixed or seperated , and green beans , my go to fish is whiting, but that's a healthy helping of catfish that i will try,never had catfish, now I don't play bout my mac n cheese, I'm not expecting for everybody's mac and cheese to be as satisfying as my own, but at least i need for people's mac and cheese to have enough cheese on it , I'm sick of these restaurants giving you more pasta ,than cheese,a certain type of restaurant shall remain nameless i went too saturday ,put them in teenytiny ramekins that you would serve toddlers, I need to have some leftovers when I go out to eat, well let me stop rambling, the food looks so good 👍🏽
