    Fair and honest food review as always. The yams are probably missing the vanilla extract and the fried chicken looks like frozen party chicken in a bag, and I can always spot canned collard greens

    Swapping from a food truck to a brick and mortar always has a few road bumps. I get the feeling that the owner is probably super busy with all the paperwork that goes in to starting up something like this and the people he hired to cook haven't quite got the pattern down yet. I'm hoping in future that the owner gets more involved with the actual cooking once the nightmare of paperwork is over, and can properly train up his staff to perform to his level.

    • @Damackism
      @Damackism Před rokem +3

      Most likely the owner is the one cooking and preparing the food. Which is why the wait is long, certain food items are rushed, the lack of drinks and other items on the menu. Most food truck operators that start up a small resturant do most of the cooking as well as everything else. They cant afford to hire quality sous chefs in the beginning. Most places have family members and friends work in the resturant.

    • @Nincompoop1_
      @Nincompoop1_ Před rokem +3

      The oldest google review from this place is 3 years. This is what you call overrated food. It's also 20-30$ per meal. They're also opened for 4 hours a day. The owner/s probably has a lot of friends and well liked in his neighborhood. Given the 22 reviews they have. Most of the google reviews are probably bias. Happens more often than you realize

    Flavoring concerning yams is highly subjective. Some people like and prepare their yams to be candied and taste like a desert. Just hella sweet. Some prefer their sweet potatoes( ie yams) to be yes yam like and not be overly sweet but have more cinnamon and nutmeg . And some like their yams the taste of both combined. Just enough sweetness and just enough seasoning. But with no marshmallows.

  • @MzLena2You
    @MzLena2You Před rokem +3

    I feel like I’m always coming for Bridgeport, it’s not the case I promise. But that’s just not a foodie town as far as Connecticut goes. They have some hidden gems, but nothing that a person would go out of their way for. Yes, I’m from New Haven, so I might seemed biased but the food scene here is better and I attribute a lot of that because of the Yale traffic. But I would much rather have Jamaican food from Yard Jerk than any Jamaican restaurant in the New Haven area. If you’re in Stamford, and you want some soul food, I recommend Soul tasty. Service is always good, nice variety, and worth the commute if you live further along in the 203 or 860

    I know it's hard to tell without tasting it, but I suspect those yams were missing salt. Salt is a flavor enhancer, even in dishes most would think of as sweet. Also, I wonder if they would consider doing hot water cornbread?

    remember to keep extra napkins in the glove box, bring you some salt/pepper packets with you. like in this instance you know what looks like sweet potatoes pudding needs a little nut meg/cinnamon and butter to taste i’d go to your local grocery store for some shorty shaker or get the actual nut 🌰 simply dust some up put back in the container 🫙 it should have a nut meg rasp on them out side rub it till you what makes you happy open lid add it stir the food taste [can always add but not take away] put the nut meg back in the house as my moms calls it good to go next time. yams should not have for me a sweet potato taste you should taste the love cinnamon/nut meg n butter go by your WENDYS macdonald’s ask for salt/pepper packets with your order save build up a supply now you got travel goods. save the knife/fork in the plastic to my. i’m has bin full has em for work

    The collard greens looked good, the mac looked okay too. The chicken, I had little faith in just based on looks. Glad to see my hunch was right. Now them yams, it's hard to tell by looks alone, but Daym saying they were missing something, I believe it. Cinnamon, nutmeg and a little brown sugar, for me, I hit it with a bit of cayenne pepper, just a little to give it that kick. I grew up in the South and the fact they didn't have cornbread is a tragedy.

    • @jabarwright4333
      @jabarwright4333 Před rokem +1

      interesting, Cayenne Pepper, I like that idea. I love me some yams, but I've never had them with cayenne pepper. I really don't like Marshmallow on my yams though. As for the Mac and cheese, it looked like it was kinda flavorless to be honest. Everybody makes their different and mac and cheese has always been one of my favorite foods so I personally probably wouldn't have complained too much about it.

    • @burakkurose
      @burakkurose Před rokem +2

      @@jabarwright4333 Cayenne Pepper is a game changer. It adds this super subtle warmth to the dish and enhances the flavours of the cinnamon and nutmeg while bringing out the light sweetness of the yam. Trust me on this one, it's amazing. And I don't really like marshmallows on my yams either, if I'm feeling frisky I will chop up some pecans but never marshmallows. And yeah everyone makes mac differently which I think why it is either hit or miss. Some like their mac a little dry others like it wet. As long as it is cheesy and seasoned well, salt, pepper, made with some chicken stock to add flavour to the base. I'm happy with any mac and cheese.
