    My pro tip for fried chicken… drizzle honey over the chicken and then dip it in the Louisiana hot sauce. My favorite way of eating good fried chicken.

  • @kennycasey9940
    @kennycasey9940 Před rokem +6

    Texas in the house! I grew up on this stuff, so I gotta chime in.
    First, you guys got all that southern comfort/soul food, and you didn't get nare bowl of collard greens or mustard greens? Oh my lawd!
    FYI - Fried chicken batter is flour-based and fried catfish batter is cornmeal-based. Dunno if you can find it in your area, but next time you do catfish, if you can get it, try some jalapeno tartar sauce. Also, if you go back to this place in the future, order a bowl of pinto beans and crumble some cornbread into it.
    And, for Amanda - Next time you need to tame the heat from spicy foods, go for some ice-cold milk or ice cream. Cold dairy products are best for slaying the spicy food dragon. Y'all really need to holoholo to Texas. I just know you'd enjoy sampling what we eat over here.

    • @AmandaFelixEats
      @AmandaFelixEats  Před rokem +2

      Big aloha to our Texas foodie ohana! There were too many sides to choose from but collard greens are usually on our plates but da Von doesn’t like greens😢 lol mahalo for all tips🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

      @kennycasey9940 Před rokem

      @@AmandaFelixEats I totally get Von not liking greens. I was in my early 30s before I started liking them. Still, even without the greens, that place looked like their soul food game was on point!

    Another episode out of the park Foodie Ohana! We know Hawaiians love chicken, so the Southern fried has to be a hit. That chicken looked legit. The sides were on point as well! Thank you for sharing and making me hungry as always. A different type of “Mac salad”, Mac and cheese! You all washed it down with the sweet tea. Keep up the hunt for great places to eat. We love to watch and drool! 🤙🏽🌺🍗

    Dang, I was hoping you found a place other than this. Been here a few times and every time it's just ok. There was a place that was way better but it closed down, it was called Soul Cafe and it was in Kaimuki. I was sad when it closed down. Once you have amazing Southern food, you won't be satisfied by anything less.

    @acedavis667 Před rokem +1

    As a 50+ year southern chef, that learned from my depression era grandparents, I want to apologize that this is what you guys think southern food is. Right off the bat, Texas Pete is from NORTH CAROLINA (not Texus) I ate there as soon as I moved to the island, wanky spoiled overpriced sweet tea, disgusting grainy buttermilk chicken invented by Yankees to get rid of spoiled milk, canned collards, cornbread that has flour and sugar in it for some reason not southern. Wet Mac and cheese instead of baked, about the only thing they get right is the fried cats and puppies. Hopefully someday you'll go to the south and learn we fry chops, not boil them in gravy. Cube steak is what's served smothered. Once again, sorry this is the best representation of southern food, because it's not very good. ~ Jonesing for real southern food in Hawaii 😭

  • @titasmom678
    @titasmom678 Před rokem +1

    Yummo. Miss all the places I used to go to when I lived in Los Angeles. Still hesitant to eat catfish...don't like the bottom feeder taste. But you seemed to like it so I may do a combo with the smothered pork chop cuz it did look amazing. It's been awhile since I've been to Hughleys.

    • @AmandaFelixEats
      @AmandaFelixEats  Před rokem

      Awww yah We know some people that don’t like catfish but their chicken is also pretty bomb 😋
