The restaurant he is talking about is Sukiyabashi Jiro, it is in the Ginza subway of Tokyo. Seats ten people only, costs 400 dollars per person, reservations are done months in advance and it is considered the best sushi in the world. The only way for a foreigner to even get a reservation was to ask the maitre at the Park Hyatt in Tokyo. Study under Jiro takes 10 years and then he gives you your shokunin (craftsman) certificate. One of his students opened one of the best sushi restaurants in NYC.

One thing I've always enjoyed about Atlanta is that it is a true dark comedy. Most shows that describe themselves as dark comedy either lean to far in one direction or end up falling flat because the comedy will undercut the dark tone of a scene or vice versa. Atlanta manages to deliver these scenes where you are constantly laughing at the absurdity of it and at the same time make you feel unease and discomfort. The writers do a fantastic job of balancing the tone between humor and intensity of its darker moments. This scene is just one perfect example of that.

[@RenaldyCalixte]

@@juniorjames7076 I think this is how hostile white people win. They drug dealers and the drugs they dealing is KFC, Popeyes, McDonald's. Al's and the crew's desire for Popeyes is why the world they live in is so afflicted by whiteness and how that doesn't change because they achieved fame and success. In fact Earn the most stern about not going to Popeye's was still treating DeMarcus a student of a famous sushi chef as a charity case. Which is ironic cause Earn broke down in front of therapist saying he hates when other black people think of him that way. Also in Season 2 Earn was disrespected by Al who wanted a Jewish attorney instead of a black one. Al hinted he might seek out a different manager and it's implied he wants a white manager. Van's friend is an investor for DeMarcus and Van respects her friend's confidence in DeMarcus food. Yet Van doesn't validate that friendship by eating the food. This is in spite of the fact in Season 3 Van's friend was willing to fly Van back to Atlanta instead of just allowing Van to live out a French fantasy. Darius comes in and punches the owner and he saves his friends by riding in a car with Popeyes under the seat. Darius thinks its ok making his friends happy even if it means hurting a black man who wants ✌ cook in a different culture. Darius ironically suffered like DeMarcus, a restaurant in the UK that Darius liked was gentrified by a white lady he met at a party. This was done by taking a traditional recipe and making it corporate. Darius threw the recipe in the garbage yet in this episode he happily bring his friends a corporate product. In the end the friends are together eating their food happy. It's almost as if the show is saying don't isolate when whiteness brings you down. Come together with your black friends and even if you betray that sentiment by falling victim to whiteness desires to seperate black people. Just do the best you can with the people you know before they're gone.

[@queenlolo1384]

@@juniorjames7076 I remember a discussion about food deserts. Basically, lack of grocery stores, which is why impoverished black people have bad diets. I do agree with that sentiment to a certain extent. However, I also have to call BS. I remember having a similar experience to you, but with groceries: There used to be a restaurant/grocery store in the hood. They had great prices and produce. As a matter of fact, they were known for their greens and sweet potatoes. I knew about that place because my mom would drive a long way just to buy their greens for Thanksgiving and New Years. They also had a restaurant where they'd serve fried chicken, fried pork chops, chips, sodas, etc. Most of the people in the area barely bought the produce (produce was a good deal with cabbage costing about $0.50 a head), they bought the fried pork chops from the restaurant, a bud light, and a bag of hot fries. Even my younger cousins are victim of this. An organization was giving out free apples, to encourage kids to eat healthier snacks. I asked my cousins if they got any, since it was free. They said, "no, I don't want no apple! I just went in the store and got hot fries!" I think we like to lie and blame food deserts, which is valid to a certain extent btw, but we also miss that a lot of us don't want better.

This whole scene has so much phenomenally built into it. The Ginza restaurant is obviously a Jiro Dreams of Sushi reference. That his restaurant can draw their training from arguably the best sushi restaurant in the world, and its still not enough. To be fair though, that fancy sushi doesn't work everywhere. Some people just want their baked rolls. As a Japanese person there is also a noticeable weirdness to the restaurant that makes you double guess as to whether the restaurant knows their stuff. A waiter would never say itadakimasu. What are the sprays (make up?) doing on the counter? Would you be willing to overlook that in a Japanese owned business? It really makes you ask yourself.

He had all the credentials but still couldn’t get the support……they was just focused on Popeyes 😂

[@juniorjames7076]

When I lived in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn in the mid 2000s, next to the local mosque there were two African/Arab owned cafeterias where you fixed your own plate with the fresh hot food they served (pure organic veggies, halal meats (no pork), and unique African & Arab dishes. The place was always packed with either Muslims or white Hipsters from places like Iowa and Portland who were just moving in, gentrifying the area. I got really good at making a nice plate with portions of meats and veggies for under 7 bucks. Meanwhile, across the street, most of the Black & Latinos who lived in the area would rather pay double at Popeyes, KFC, Taco Bell or McDonalds. I used to shake my head at how our community is just happily poisoning itself. Now I don't care anymore.

@@juniorjames7076 😂 that’s how it be and we wonder why other countries be looking healthier. It’s like that in Pittsburgh too….line for Popeyes be wrapped around the block for that sandwich

Cmon bruh it’s good😂 it’s a little too good.

[@EmptyMan000]

@@juniorjames7076 Sounds like every dead inside minority who claims to care about their community but has given up any attempt to help it. You quit, don't even try to hype it.

He is talking about Atlanta A tv show created by Daniel Glover, a Black actor and musician, and directed by Hiro Murai, a Japanese-born director

They should've brought back Brother 'Ahmad White' for this episode, but this brother made good delivery too.

[@ernestshuma8654]

This movie revolves around food alot the french episode with the restaurant,the Popeye thing ,Darius and jollof rice...

[@johnnycage435]

Free Chicken Sandwich day N!gga !!!

[@johnindigo5477]

Food is one of the biggest markers of culture. How's its cooked, dined, served, and cooked by.

[@johnindigo5477]

Also the D'Angelo sandwiches.

[@deandreesteen2033]

Them towels at the beginning of the scene, though. DeMarcus just went to the laundry hamper and got them. Lol

[@Adkb123]

You really can see it in all the immigrant communities in Atlanta. Koreans, Romanians, Latinos, etc. They all support each others businesses and each other. I definitely see it in the Black community too. But this made me think.

[@Raptors1998ANA]

He reminded me of teddy perkins in the body of the crazy guy in the bus in season 1

[@nomamhlanga2167]

This restaurant really would have been successful if they didn't lead with the poison fish💀

[@dogman_]

Bring this show back. 🙏

[@jonathanjonathan2096]

Just realized DeMarcus is doing the same voice as Black Tony Blair from Chappelle show. Pretty cool.

[@shanirahrogers8709]

The funny thing is that in order to be able to serve blow fish you have to undergo training for years, very intensitive training. Then you have go through an entire exam to even be certified. This particular fish you have to be highly skilled and licensed for (unlike other sushi) so that means that he was servings some extremely high quality sushi but people were too ignorant to even realize that. In other words they spent years and years handling this. On one hand I can completely understand why someone would be apprehensive about being served something that's considered poisonous but it's never going to be some novice serving it to you. Call me crazy but I'd give it a go. On another note, this speech hit hard though.

[@Coco-chrispy]

If he’s from Alabama, why is he talking like that?😂

[@Aldridge517]

"The problem with us is we don't trust each other." Should Van have trusted Mr. Chocolate? (Honest question)

[@osmondportifoy6332]

Here's a brutal fact: more people will pick fried chicken over sushi & blowfish every time.

" You get it? You get it now?" what an incredible villain this guy would make

Favorite scene 😂😂😂😂😂👌🏾👌🏾

[@JoeMacStevens]

3:59 That part kills me😂! When I get a perfectly cooked bucket of Popeye’s I do kind of feel like that

[@sorryitsmoops]

What an excellent final episode... Black Americans can't get out of their own way, and what we think is reality might just be a dream, or vice versa. Without a doubt one of the best shows ever.
