All of that looked absolutely delicious. Man, my stomach is growling like crazy after watching this. Great review, brother 👍

[@MattDV]

I was really shocked at the turkey chops! They were delicious!

[@4seasonsbbq]

@@MattDV they sure looked delicious. Thanks for the pin.

[@carmeneats4979]

Man oh man Mattt ALL of that looks delicious ❤.

[@MattDV]

Yes, my friend, it was very tasty. I hope you are well and staying warm. It's getting cold fast.

[@carmeneats4979]

@MattDV I'm well Thank you 😊

[@georgeevankovich3489]

You are absolutely right about the grits, and native people. In fact a lot of bbq techniques are a mix of African and native Americans styles. I believe corn bread is also. My Grandma was from Missouri and Grandpa was from Shreveport La. They taught me how to cook. And instilled a lot of good values in me, I'm truly blessed

[@MattDV]

Thanks George. I bet Granma and Grandpa threw down in the Kitchen and on the grill. I plan to get down to La soon.

[@shawnsteed4140]

Before I moved to New York I use to live 2 blocks up this street from King's Restaurant on Clinton Ave and S12 th St. I use to pass by there on the bus everyday but would never try their food. It was always crowded on Sundays from the people coming outta church service lol🤣😂🤣😂

[@MattDV]

Hey Shawn. Yes weekends are crowded.

[@chopsthasavior7769]

​@@MattDV Next Time Try The Fried Broccoli w/a Side of Ranch Dressing!!!! OMG!!! 😋

[@jeffpittman8725]

This looks a lot like how I grew up eating. We ate a lot of poke salad or collard greens with our meals and always biscuits or cornbread. Thanks for the content!

[@MattDV]

Thanks for staying tuned. I appreciate it.

[@allisoneberle9467]

I used to live right down the hill from Kings but I was always too broke to go, but now I gotta get something from there.

[@MattDV]

Yes, go for it!

[@whywouldyoueveraskforit2774]

[@karenjamerson5973]

Hey😆. The food looked delicious 😋

[@jakeMontejo3272]

Another great video, Mat. I went to King’s almost a decade ago, after a funeral. It looked different & don’t remember turkey “chops” being on the menu. Looks good though & big portions. Hope your boat project is going well

[@MattDV]

I know right. I was impressed at the portion.

[@SS-ub7ww]

Best in the Brick City 🏆. Try their potato salad next time as a side, thts what they known for 👍🏽.

[@RogueBurn]

Oh she hit me where it hurts when your server said "turkey chops smothered and greens". DAMN! But anyway I'm in DFW, Texas and I'm going to check out Grannie's. I hear it's the joint.

[@MattDV]

That was the first time I had Turkey Chops. It now on my fav list, Seems we have to get down to Grannies in Dallas FW now...lol

[@rhondaabugg305]

Kings has some really good food. I haven't had the turkey chops, but I can guarantee I'll have them the next time I go there.

[@missblak00]

Look fire asf🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥 that lil hot sauce got me lmmfaooooooooo 🤣🤣🤣

[@MattDV]

Missblak don't be laughin at my hot sauce. lol

[@jelaine7532]

Hi, Matt! I'm such a foodie. I enjoy watching you chow down and give reviews. I don't know if you've ever watched the movie (one of my life-time fave movies), "My Cousin Vinnie," there were scenes / discussions about GRITS and how long they should take to make them. Joe Pesci was absolutely hilarious in his role as Vinnie, and Marisa Tomei was even more hilarious and even won an Oscar for her role in that film. Side note: I always like sharp or extra sharp cheddar, but I normally prefer my grits with butter and a little milk and sugar, almost like a chunky Cream of Wheat hot cereal. Namaste

[@MattDV]

Yes, I remember the scenes about the GRITS. Real grits. Not the 2-5 mins stuff. LOL

[@Treesunshine]

Wow we had my father repast here two years ago this was his favorite restaurant! Great bean pie as well

[@MattDV]

Peace my TreeSunshine. Thanks for sharing. Can you send me an email at [e-mail] ? Need your story for a film Im working on about Fathers. Thank you.

Looks good brother

[@cynthiawilliams7702]

😊😂 sooooo good

[@patbooker8323]

2 Sundays ago I got a turkey wing dinner with greens and potato salad..Everything was delicious and they weren't stingy with the food either..

[@MattDV]

Hi Pat. So true! I try NOT to let restaurants know in advance that I'm coming, because I want the treatment they give all customers. The portions left me with beautiful seconds at home the next day. 🙂

[@knightd12]

You were right about the grits and Indian connection. Grits originated with Native American Muscogee tribe according to Google.

[@fat628]

That's a weird combination 😳!!! Grits with greens!!!

[@MattDV]

uhh...kinda yes, I would say it was my first time with this combo. It was delicious though.

[@Midwestchickz91]

My family lives right up the corner on treacy

[@lorenzotruth3897]

lol, I see ya'

[@blaqdiemenz]

I always went to the one on Lyons never on Clinton.. Did I miss out

[@MattDV]

It's a long story but they are both good right now. I will be going to the one on Lyons ave and Hobson (NEW LOCATION) to do a proper video soon.

[@tonyajohnson2683]

I haven't been in awhile. Now I'm going this week 😂

[@carmeneats4979]

Yummy 😋 I'll bust all that down. Did they have Chitterlings there as well?

[@MattDV]

no. no pork at Kings. It's halal.

[@carmeneats4979]

Most Soul Food spots are like that now. When I think of Soul Food I think of pork 😂

[@MattDV]

@@carmeneats4979 me too. Original authentic soul food has pork as a major dish/ingredient.

[@carmeneats4979]

😔

[@martinraynkelly4782]

Food looks delicious and appears to be free of pork which is a huge bonus! Great review brethren!

[@MattDV]

Thank you, and yes, no pork at Kings.

[@NoNewfriends4087]

You have to go there on a Sunday morning on after church around 11:00 a.m. 12;00 in the afternoon

I thought they was closed. I'm going to make a run tomorrow.

[@copperone3831]

Brotha...We are the American Indians....

[@MattDV]

Peace Coppertone.

[@michaeljohnson4344]

Perfect grits? 5 to 1, liquid to grits. Liquid = chicken broth, seasoned water, or 1/2 water or broth and 1/2 milk. Low and slow (30mins+) and KEEP STIRRING! Season to taste and drop in a fistful of cream cheese at the end. The real secret? 4:1, liquid to grits, IN A PRESSURE COOKER! Magic.

[@MattDV]

Love it, thanks Michael. Cream cheese? Have to try that one.

[@stackmosayless-1669]

I get the same thing with grits or smothered turkey wings and mix everything with my grits and throw some hot sauce in. 😋 I like Kings plus the waitresses are always respectful.

[@yamonnalewis5987]

[@JEWinTx]

I knew that waitress had to be fine from her voice. Good job getting her on camera to confirm 😊. No but that's a good ass meal right there fam.

Thanks Tree. The Turkey chops were delicious. That was my first time eating turkey chops, too.

[@NoNewfriends4087]

You’re not supposed to put salt on grits 🤦🏽‍♂️ Only sugar and butter and American cheese

[@Cornbread-gi6kt]

Soul food? I thought soul food was ‘Chitlins’, Hogmas, collard greens with peppers, Grits with eggs, pig knuckles, shoe fly pie, black sausage……🤷🏼

[@MattDV]

Yes, I agree. And much more. I talk about it here, about seven minutes into the video. Here is the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp-Xl3Z_hNdkotEsi=SRNY5Gsa6-kksu4m

[@Cornbread-gi6kt]

@@MattDV I know. But in the other video it’s really like just eating the normal foods served in regular fashion in regular restaurants. ‘Soul food’ is special though, distinctive from all the rest, makes a person get up early in the mornings and don’t eat nothing else all day until it’s time for some ‘soul food’, makes a man forget all his problems and worries when he eats ‘soul food’. A trifling ugly woman can still get married as long as she can cook ‘soul food’. Makes a man forget all his wife’s indiscretions when she cooks him ‘soul food’. Makes a man work two jobs if that’s what it takes to get some ‘soul food’. Silvia’s in Harlem’ NYC does it right, or used too. 👍🤷🏼
