- The Brown family has been cooking soul food in Gowanus for over 50 years; their matriarch, Louise Gasby, would cook for her 15 children and her community in Brooklyn. Today, father and son Mike and Marquise take those same recipes and their family’s reputation for culinary talent to the streets of Downtown Brooklyn and beyond with their food truck, serving items like fried catfish, turkey wings, collard greens, and much more.

Haha!, thats me with the locs talking. Honored to speak about the GG's family, and the food. Equally amazing.
So handsome 😍
Not only does the food look delicious but the family ties and stories are worth visiting for. Will definitely pay a visit when I go to Brooklyn.
💯🔥💯
May Jesus Christ bless you all with long life and anointment in the holy spirit. Nothing more beautiful than the world enjoying fish n chips like family.
Revelation 1:14-15 bible (KJV)
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in furnace.
(John 7:38 KJV bible verse)
"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
revelation 1 verse 14-15 is describing Christ Yashaya looks like. & *it does matter* , bc obviously if the roman catholics jew-ISH ✡️ ppl, gonna put up a false image of christ, a g@y roman man, he unalived ppl, son of pop Alexander of rome. *Cesare Borgia* +plus all the idolatry when in the bible it says make no images of whats above in heaven & below in the earth & worship it. & make no idols & worship it. Idols aka the cross, Buddhist statue, Jesus statue & etc.. & that all idolatry is all your religions & Holidays btw. & etc... pagun they do.
● look up Cesare Borgia On Google images or on CZcams.
*(do your research before u assume im wrong)*
Thats jesus
● All religions & holidays are pagun & demonic. Your unknowingly worshipping fallen angel and demons if your religious.
● Christ Real name is Yashaya & he was dark skinned not black or african. A Hebrew Israelite. Hebrew Israelites are God Ahayah chosen ppl. That are targeted & being destroyed in society rn. black ppl are Hebrew Israelites. God Ahayah give only us laws & commandments 613 n we broke them. So God Ahayah but Hebrews under a curse. To be under Esau. Esau is the 1st white person or actually Red with hair all over. Caucasians, gentiles, Ebomites, . Issac Abraham's son had a wife called Rebecca n she had twins. Esau & Jocab. Issac & Rebecca are dark skinned aka Hebrew Israelites. Esau was red with hair all over & Jocab was dark skinned. *(Rebecca had 2 nations in her womb)* Esau went against his brother & made a deal with satan on top of mount sier. To destroy his brother Jocab aka Hebrew Israelites. Esau was your vikings ruling with a sword. A hunter. Demonic ppl. Gentiles mean pagun. Or heathens. Thats the 1st white man. Was Esau. Do your research.
● God real name is Ahayah.
■ ANY OTHER names other than God Ahayah & Christ Yashaya is False demonic doctrine & Satan's many names. Satan has plenty of names.
■ lucifer, the devil, satan, serpent, dragon, Samuel, angel of death. Yahweh, Jehovah, yeshua, yhwh,
All satans names n more too.
● Satan & his fallen angels disobey God Ahayah. Angels had s3x with humans making Nephilim. Giants they were monsters killin everything even themselves. God Ahayah flooded the Earth because of the Nephilim. They were gonna destroy everything that's why.
■ when satan disobeyed God Ahayah he was kicked outta heaven down to earth.& satan isnt just sitting around ppl.
● stars are Angels. Shooting stars, "asteroids", "comets" are fallen angels. Moon & sun are inside firmament.
■ Above is Firmament, water, then Heaven in that order. *(NO SPACE)* space is a demonic nasa lie. Just like evolution is too. N space aliens. Aliens are just fallen angels, Nephilim, spirits. That can shape shift. To easily trick ppl. Tribes. Ufos is just fallen angel technology.
■ Ghost are fake. All spirits are Nephilim spirits. GOD's creations aka -Human souls goes to wait judgment. Non God creations souls STAY ON THE EARTH. So any spirit or ghost. Is a demonic evil spirits pretending to be your relative or ancestors. Its called familiar spirits . They can easily mimic your loved ones. They shape shift. "Satan can appear as a angel of light."
●pharmacy is demonic. Their medication 💊 medicine is just drugs to kill u. & get u possessed. None sobor minded person is up for possession n its not like the movies they lie. *(Any symbols or logos with a serpent 🐍 or ✝️ cross snake wrapping around a pole or something means its demonic . N most stars too. Serpent means satan. N cross means roman catholic. The ppl who hate & killed christ made Christianity. Ppl)*
○Look up the symbol on an ambulance. Its literally a satanic symbol. A serpent 🐍 aka satan around a kinda look like star or cross. ✡️ like this. Star of molock. Satan's symbol.
*(do your research before u assume im wrong)*
● Mental illness is demon or evil spirit possession. Do your research. Addiction, anger issues, gay/ trans, drag. Is all evil spirits in that person.
■●○Do your research or you are basically sheep. To society & society is demonic. Look at $1 bill. Illuminati logo & Egyptian pyramids on it. Egypt is a demonic place God Ahayah destroy because they were worshipping fallen angels & demons. Using magic & witchcraft . When Moses went there. N they on our money American $1. Egyptian pyramid with all seeing eye Illuminati logo. & who prints the money? Our government. Which means our government is demonic. They dont have our best interest to help us or society there tryin to destroy it.
●America is Actually Esdras
■ i more thing. Pork & shell fish dont eat them. They give u cancer & diseases. N other unclean food too. Look it up God Ahayah told us we cant eat certain animals. Some animals weren't made to be eaten. Shell fish are just *(insects)* water bugs. They carry diseases naturally n we eat them like sheep. Like idoits. Pork too. N others.
Hopefully someone reads this.....
Jesus, Yahweh, yeshua, Jehovah, yhwh. *(All Satan's name)*. Lucifer, samuel. Angel of Death.
*DONT ASSUME IM WRONG CHRISTIANS DO YOUR RESEARCH 1ST* dont be sheep. Christ real name is Yashaya and God real name is Ahayah.
12 tribes of Israel. Hebrew Israelites God's chosen people. Are dark skinned. Mostly around south America because of slave trade. Christ Yashaya was dark skinned. All religions and holidays are pagun. And false doctrine. False idols. Jesus is a false idol. Its all demonic. *WAKE UP* SHEEP. before its too late. Dont let the evil spirit win. Let go of ego and pride. Thats a spirit. Blocking u. From knowing TRUTH.!
●Get Baptized like Christ Yashaya in his name.
'People never die they live through you' such a great message
I remember their food truck days. Spent a grip on groceries and still bought a platter from GGs when they were parked directly outside of Trader Joe's on Court Street. Congrats on their success and if you have a chance, go get at it!
He said " a fresh of breath air " !!!
😂
lol I've said that before, it's funny how often we get tongue tied trying to make that statement
As soon as he said that, I came looking for this comment😂
I do that sometimes too 😂
And downtime instead of downside, bless gin
GGs Fish & CHIP has been the highlight of my Brooklyn experience, I been a Doorman in brooklyn for 3 yrs and GGs Court street location knows me lol (Patterson) i love the service everyones professional and well spoken. I recommend anyone who hasnt come across GGs fish and chips truck to please get a lunch special or fish sandwhich its well worth it, ALL THE BEST TO MY GGs FISH & CHIPS FAMILY SEE YOU SOON .
“Jay -Z of cooking.” - Dad 😂 Lmfao he wild. ☠️☠️
I’m from the Capital of Fish n Chips, UK, but I would fly to NY to have everything on this menu. Absolute culinary heaven. The history/family is a bonus. They deserve a Michelin star. It’s on my bucket list 😊😊😊❤
u just said that because they are black
So you say all of that despite having never actually tasted the food?
@@ntwrk56 man clearly said he was from the uk. i’m not sure on your level of regardedness, but please think before you speak next time. thank you.
Man about time Munchies made another Street Food Icons video lol
I miss this this segment a lot
GD! This is America.....family...hard work.....I don't know these people but you can not help but love them.
u can rly see how passionate they are about their business. hope it continue to thrive for many generations
Dope family!!! My great-grandmother was the same way. We would walk with her, carrying plates to elders or sick people in the community, and she was known for her cooking. It's a blessing to be part of a legacy of people with strong character. We often talk about money in conversations of inheritance, but this family is an example of passed down grit, determination, love and generosity. Truly a legacy to take pride in, and one that's beautiful to witness. May God continue to bless and keep you, and may your business continue to prosper.🙏🏽❤
Love to see the passion in these men. Entrepreneurial fire mixed with hard work. Great inspirational story of passionate people. Family first…what a story!
This is why the old school generation love will forever be my favorite, a true partnership. He had a vision & a goal. She trusted & supported him & they executed it together as a Unit.
The father is very humble. Great family 🤍
The American dream of relative prosperity is sometimes nowhere to be seen but this episode refreshes the dream. Beautiful family making delicious food! Excellent!
the american dream: throw everything in the fryer. the whole familie is obese. good for the soul, bad for body
Simply the Best Soul food in New York!! Prepared and served with love, you can't go wrong.
Stop saying "soul food" because it's dumb!
southern food ?@@disguiseddv8ant486
@@disguiseddv8ant486 nah
One of the best Soulfood restaurants and food trucks in Brooklyn,NY💯💯💯💯💯
I'm going to report you all for serving collard greens without corn bread. Thanks for a peek at real southern home style cooking. Now I'm homesick and hungry, too.
This dumb "soul food" terminology got to stop! His meaning of "soul food" doesn't make any sense, "soul food is food that's good for your soul" -What?! So fried/salty foods, cheesy macaroni, and sugary yams is good for your soul? The same food that "Big Mama" died from on the movie Soul Food and that have blacks being the #1 group with diabetes and heart disease? Insanity!
My gosh the what you've learned from your MIL AND how you father stepped up and in...then yall passed down like a real man should. Love it. Beautiful.
This IS America. Great story. Thank you for sharing this amazing family. ❤️
May God continue to bless this family!!! The legacy of souls food in NYC has definitely diminished over the years. So happy I found this video. I will be visiting!!!
There's no such thing with this term "soul food". The meaning of it that this dude gave in the beginning of the video made zero sense! "Soul food is food that is good for the soul"?! That can be a bowl of home made chicken noodle soup. Everything that's on this "soul food" plate is from other cultures. There's nothing on that plate that was created from blacks.
Yes, Brown and Gasby family! So proud of you'll. LOVE THIS! Sut and Dad are looking down so proudly. Definitely, sharing this video.❤❤
What a wholesome business to wanna be a part of 👏🏽👏🏽 can only see good things come out of this 🫶🏽
I notice in the comment section somebody is always talking about wholesomness... is this awareness of wholesome a trend? It's literally every comment section.
The family soulfood looks delicious!! I love!! the fact this is a black owed and operated family business. This a wonderful story of a proud black american family business. If I lived in Brooklyn, New York I will definitely support GIGI Fish& Chips restaurant. May God bless!! this family owned business.
Shoutout to my Brooklyn family from your New Jersey family so proud of y’all if iykyk ❤
Had their food last year and truly it’s so bomb!!! As someone from the south, this is some of the best soul food I’ve had in NYC!!
Clearly the greatest ingredient in their food and success is "family". All the best to them.
Food truck changing lives 😂❤.
Always a miracle when Munchies uploads a new video, even though it was made for Vice.
Is munchies on vice? If so I'm getting cable again?
Love business stories like this. Great family. Pillars of their community growing up in the community and building a better future in their community and beyond.
there is nothing like good catfish. reminds me of the days when my grandpa and I would go fishing, catch it, fillet it, and cook it all up for the family.
Love this and that food looks delicious and seasoned to the teeth.I love family owned/working businesses where the family are all playing a part for the long term success of the business to prolong generational wealth and business.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!👏🏾❤️ I’ll definitely be visiting/supporting this establishment. GGs!!!🙌🏾🎊😍🔥
The look on bro's face @ 5:42 says it all. Also, the color on the fry of that shrimp @ 5:49 - that is art!
Yes we need more soul food restaurants in NYC
This what talking bout a family cooking amazing soul food and looking out for the people around them .
❤ I absolutely love this! The legacy, family love, and the passion is admirable. When I visit from Buffalo I'm definitely making my way there.
Saying hello from Chicago Illinois United States ❤
Hello, I visited Chicago for the first time, I loved it instantly. It is a well-designed city it reminded me of NYC a lot. 🤟❤
This is wholesomeness personified. May god bless them and their family. A true family unit.
Family, you are doing Soot & Mo proud...You guys are holding it down, just like they did for my cookouts...❤
The food looks so good & I love the family bond!!
This my family out here in these streets putting it down ya'll. The food is superb!
Awesome video they embody everything that is great about food,love,humility,hardwork,community and family
Wow what a beautiful video! The food may be delicious but the loyalty and love from the family itself is worth visiting.
Generational wealth. Love it
Bought food from them many times,always delicious 😋 😍. Will continue as well. Thank you.😊
I love this ❤ there is also another soul food place called A Taste Of Royal Flava they are also located in Brooklyn (Bed Stuy) and their food is really good, their oxtails, Fried Catfish, Fried Basa, and Smack n Cheese sells out like hot cakes!!!!
Love to see it! Family stepping out and betting on themselves! Working hard and honoring their family past & present.
I will definitely be supporting this black owned buisness. Well done Family! This is who my neighbors look like hard working family oriented black people. This is who we are,not the propoganda they show on TV. Well done fam!👊🏾💕💕
Fish and Chips is becoming a global staple food. It's simple yet filling, carbs and protein, all while hittin' that spot in your soul
Nice to see the power of family at work. We can all get there together!
Boss lady of GG restaurant and food truck much blessings to all ❤❤❤
Wow man!!! Congrats to the home team ❤
What a wonderful family keep doing it! Keep soul food live 😊
There’s a little foot truck
Here in Hawai’i been open for like a year
It’s called “cat fish corner”
People say it’s really good!
I’ve never had catfish and I love seafood !
Love the story of this vid!
I’m an avid seafood lover, definitely have to come visit from CT to check these guys out. I’m from the south, so I know good soul food when I see it. That catfish and those collard greens look FIRE 🔥
You can feel the family love.
Man this episode was too short, street food icons and pizza show are the best series that come out of this channel
Love everything about this, the food looks so delicious!!!
The food is great the family is an inspiration to all we are so proud of you guys you really represent the best in the community
I see you BK...I'll have to try it next time I'm back home in NYC!
just the food alone makes it worth it but the stories are even more interesting to complement the food
When I was growing up in NC and FL in the late 50s and early 60s, we didn't have soul food, but we all knew what Granny's cooking was. Just like this food.
Brooklyn ❤coming to check ya Saturday 💯💯
I love!! GIGI Fish & Chips collard greens. and yams, and fried whiting fish. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great and refreshing story 🙌🏻
Oh crap I just visited their stand outside the Brooklyn DA's office the other day and got the catfish fish n chips... truly outstanding. Idk how this ended up on my recommendations but bless up!
Keep Rising!!!!
They know what they’re talking about!! Now this is real Black American Soul Food👌🏿
One more place to add to my nationwide foodie tour.
Wow that's amazing, I see these guys all the time. Right across from the pj's 👌🏽👌🏽
Very good story. I hope they get even bigger. 🙏🏾✊🏾
Yes, my sister and prayers will definitely help them get their ❤
Sitting here in Las Vegas trying to figure out what to eat this Mother's Day night yes fish and grits, but I've been eating cheese grits since my Atlanta days.
Thanks for releasing this. I can’t get food like this where I live. It looks incredible and makes me respect the story and motivation behind it
Does anyone know the song in the background in the last few minutes?
Thanks
Now thats culture 💞 Im gonna try when we go back to BK, the soul food is always different up north but I want the shrimp plate.❤
