AMEN . I had to smile listening to you talking about your grandma. May her memory be a forever blessing to you.

[@hs-qk9qf]

Life and cooking lessons! Elders are so important. There's an old African proverb that says "When an old person dies, a library burns down."

[@brondisward9098]

He's a southern man and talks the way my dad used to!

[@dharmon8798]

She gave you good advice. I told mine that everyone that smiles in your face aren't always your friends

[@mariapenilla8206]

Vision ware is what you have chef Jeff 👨‍🍳 😉

[@latonyamcneil-williams4442]

It is a hurting thing when a grandmother passed away. I miss my grandmother, mother, and dad. But we do have memories to pass on the next generation.

[@yeyesone1]

Chef is like that uncle that we never had He has no idea how much of a blessing he is to us; every time I watch him I get motivated to cook and that is how I show my family love. Love you and keep going strong sir.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Awesome thanks for the kind words

[@Outlaw910X2]

[@ctaz8746]

I concur, thanks Chef for your warm spirit and inspiring us to cook those old school meals!

[@reggieredmond2432]

He knows it’s what keeps him going .

[@ebaynautica2732]

Facts 😂

[@ladyveevee2888]

If people do not like to hear you talk, then they need not listen. I love the stories because it reminds me of the good old days growing up in Alabama with my old school grandmother that cooked everyday three square meals with no exception in addition to cleaning white folks houses for crumbs.

[@LealerJennings]

Amen 🙏 Chef 🧑‍🍳 Jeffery I love ❤️ smothered chicken thighs with gravy and with White Rice and with carrots 🥕 Amen 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sweetteame6814]

Amen Grandma, she told the truth, we all love our Grandma’s they tell you like it is. We don’t know until it hits us Grandma was right. If we all had Grandma’s these days that could get out in community and tell folks just how it is. Love your stories. I got lots of stories as well. Never Stop telling stories we love them. I think Grandma was sitting in your kitchen listening to your stories, because my Grandma always told me her folks and preachers back then said that when your remembering and telling stories those Angels come down and are very proud of you. ♥️♥️🙏🏼 The Nichols Family Pilot Mountain N.C. ♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@wildman1111]

Your Gramma sounded like a very smart lady. You are so right about people making fun of a guy that like to cook in the 70's and 80's. But i didn't care either i still cooked lol.

[@CeeJay88547]

He really do know exactly how to throw down in a kitchen in a big Mama 'nem Cooking type of Way, he Alway's take me back in my mind to them good'old day's of my late-Grandmother and my late-moms different kinds of downhome Prepared meal's in that Country bottom at my grandmothers House. 😋

[@lindeeabernathy790]

Don't stop the "stories".Love hearing them and watching you cook. So much of the things u say remind me of the things my grandmother would tell me..as you were discussing..She would always remind me to be careful of the company I keep...she talked about the Lord so much too.Im so grateful that my parents and grandmother taught me these things.God bless.

Chef you are worth a fortune. Introducing cookwear, kitchen EVERYTHING!! 🤗🥰

I’d love to come eat in your home and share stories about grandmas. I’m making your chicken and dumplings recipe next week for a potluck dinner. I watched several videos, and I always came back to yours. Simple and delicious looking old school southern cooking.

[@backlyn550]

Love your stories that you tell as you cook. You belong on the Food Network.

[@lanettelawrence6308]

Vanilla flavor gravy 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lydiajoy1823]

That looks delicious and I love the stories about your grandmother. She sounds like a wonderful woman. When my grandmother died I discovered that she wanted me to have her little handmixer. I used that thing for years, the motor finally gave out but I will not part with it ever ever ever. How many batches of cookies did she make with that little handmixer? It’s a treasure for me.

[@sherikahunter9435]

I have that roasting pan I have one that was my granny’s & I bought one. I love to cook! Keep cooking love the videos!

[@sherylpatterson6022]

Good morning Chef Jeffery!!! I love watching your channel before Church. Very inspiring! I love your old school tales!!! Brings back memories of my childhood. My granny was about 4'9 and around 90 lbs but she was a strong spiritual woman of God. Her father lived to be 96 years old. They had so many old school stories that I will cherish for life. I laughed when you said you put vanilla in your gravy!!! LoL!!! Could be a new invention!!! Old school vanilla gravy!!! LoL. Keep on stirring up your gifts Chef Jeffery! 🎁🎁

[@jamiejeffersonthgenCamaro]

Good dinner with a good cowboys win

[@mz_gemini_336]

Watching you on my way home from work. #demboyz #ladieslovecowboys

[@joshww2339]

I appreciate your story, my grandmother taught me to cook and sew as well as grow vegetables and preserve them. Depression era values. I can relate immensely with your story.

[@sherikahunter9435]

I’m probably younger..early 40’s but my granny & grandpa raised me she taught me to cook,clean,garden..we also had a huge vegetable garden I would help her can & put veggies up. Sure miss her but thankful for what she taught me so I can pass it on❤️

[@JustMeeee2]

[@Marlen-CruzCommercial_2023]

I LOVE you story about Grand momma Mini . ❤️❤️❤️

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Yes. She was a character lol

[@pamelaarmstrong2532]

Thank you 4 sharing about your grandmother very touching

[@PhiladelphiaV55]

Chief Very Nice Story, I was raised by my Grandmother also.I know about the dirty flour, cooking is the Family was they show Love. Great Video Always 🎥🏡🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂

[@papageorgechronicles6792]

First off, love your channel! I, too, have been cooking for over fifty years! I remember when it was frowned upon for a boy to be in the kitchen. I do disagree, however, that a myriad of spices will destroy the flavor of a dish. I do a lot of Jamaican jerk, Cajun and Asian dishes...just to name a few! Depending on the dish, upwards of ten or more herbs/spices are used! In most Indian dishes, more than ten spices are used. There's nothing wrong with using lots of spices....IF one knows what they're doing! Be well!

[@steveprice3541]

Yes sir! That's some good looking smothered chicken! And you keep on telling your stories. Your story about your grandmother telling you to watch your company sure hit home with me too... found a few tears to my eyes. I'm a little older than you I was in college in the mid 70s. I also have one of those roasters just like yours and the Pyrex cooking dishes. I don't have the whole set bit the couple I do have I do use frequently. My mother taught me to cook as my grandmother was a little old by the time I came along. Well in college I used to call her and ask her how do you cook spaghetti sauce, chili, goulash, pinto beans. Fried chicken, peanut butter fudge, strawberry pie. All the things I had at home growing up I wanted to have when I was in college. Have to say I became a pretty good cook and my roommates certainly enjoyed my experimentation. Yes sir you keep telling your stories. I'm sure there's a bunch of us that love to hear your stories and only one or two that don't and they don't have to listen.

[@PrayingCoupleCookingSeries]

Here fam caught you early food always look delicious got my bell on...be able to keep up let's stay connected much love.

[@vaquero1117]

We use to call your pans, given to you by your paternal grandmother, roasting pan with/ or without a cover. Love hearing your family stories. Keep up the good work.

[@reggieredmond2432]

My mom’s name was Minnie and my grandmother was ALMA both born and raised in Beaumont Texas. My mom and grandmother told me the same thing. I learned how to cook from them gumbo, fried chicken everything. Until the day she died she if I was making anything even if I knew how to make it I’d call her and ask “ now mom do I add this or that? Yes and baby do you have some of that Lawry’s. For your chicken? That’s what momma uses you know. Lol that conversation would make her day. And mine too. They with JESUS now and I miss. But they’re cooking smells fill my home and they are here.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Awesome memories and stories

[@marlanscott2508]

Good advice for the young people of today. Providing they take the advice. Good job chef. And I'm a chiefs fan.

[@ighsight]

What a wonderful gift and wonderful story. I remember those old school roasting pans, what I wouldn't give to have something like that from my mother or grandmother who have both passed on.

[@taraeave3828]

[@ginafriend1690]

It's so good and thighs are my favorite. Such a good home-cooked meal!! I was going to ask you the other day, how your dirty flour was coming along! I don't use dressing on my salads. Pyrex no doubt. Probably the best $5 spent! Your Grandma knew what she was talking about 🙌🙏❤. (I always said if I ever Had to get married again, he would be a cook) Church is Important. I go myself! Thanks for sharing this. #helpsomebodyoldschoolsoulfood

[@mlwashington4118]

Chef!!! Your station, Your stories!!!

[@gwenholcombe9705]
