Soul Food from D & J Country Kitchen Newark NJ Ep. 25

[@jerseyfinest7152]

I went here and it felt like I stepped into one of my Aunties kitchen for real. I felt so welcomed. They were kind and a joy to be around. Even me and one of their customers had a nice conversation about the food and background of the restaurant. He also told me that they shot the Halle Berry movie Bruised there for the restaurant scene. Pretty dope 😊. And the food was excellent.

[@MattDV]

I'm glad you had aa great experience. Also, thanks, I did not know about the movie.

[@Bebe777333]

I am in Newark, and I did not know about this restaurant. I will check them out. Thanks!

[@MattDV]

Me too, and I am still surprised at restaurants that have been around for years and I was not aware.

As a teetotaler and one who has not used intoxicants for over a decade (and never will again), I could not think of a more wonderful set of words. Life provides plenty of good things to eat and to enjoy. Artifices such as intoxicants are total 𝑭𝑨𝑰𝑳𝑺. A question: what was used as flavoring on the cabbage? I use Italian salad dressing with butter ~ this gives it immense flavor. Please try it if you haven't done so already. This is a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing & please keep up the good work.
