So, by her definition, a sub/hero/hoagie/grinder/Cuban/muffaleta/bahn mi/pork roll would NOT be a sandwich. Yeah, I think I’ll let her stick to Leftover Surprise.

I liked the video, but the explanation was shit. Here is a better CRT explanation taken from a January 21, 2021 article by Janel George from the American Bar Association and a later article by Beludji Narcisse— PLEASE SHARE

Seeing as the word “gumbo” literally translates as “okra soup/stew”, I think it’s tragic to call any soup/stew without okra a “gumbo”, just like no soup/stew made without a roux should be called “gumbo” either. You need both to properly apply the name to the dish, otherwise it’s anarchy!

Thank you for the laughs! I just started running and dint look back until I was home. They ain’t gon’ catch this li’l Black duck in no devil’s trap!

I’m sure somebody speaking for Florida will say Key Lime Pie, but my money is on the Tampa Cuban Sandwich and Deviled Crab. Available nowhere else in the world, it’s New World barbacoa meets Old World salami on a crusty French/Italian loaf cooked with a saw palmetto frond rolled into the dough and then hot-pressed to…

Do yourself a favor and pick up the book “That’s Blaxploitation” by Darius James.

Please don’t forget how I-95 destroyed the thriving Black community of Overtown in Miami. It’s never recovered and that was BY DESIGN.

Good looks savagely ruined by bad shoes in a couple of cases. Brick soles just don’t enhance the streamlined or silhouetted look you were making so well with 75% of your outfit. Hodge is the only one who rocked the WHOLE outfit properly.

Is the Mister Softee song the same as Turkey in the Straw? Or is that Good Humor?

Damn, Issa Rae got the smile of the Wodaabe people!!

With this article, I agree 100%, and that’s why Drake was never in my heavy rotation or in any rotation, for that matter. The guys sings too much and isn’t witty AT ALL. He’s who I put on at the cookout whenever I really want people to choose anything else because I know someone will shout “put on some good shit!!”…

It was a bad movie. I remember seeing the original as an adult and, while it had some bad moments, the fish out of water theme was really what carried the movie beside the royal obligation plot. They should have replicated that theme, except make Akeem a fish out of water in his own homeland due to being a completely…

I get it completely. Watching the crash live I was like “Holy shit, I’ve just watched somebody die” and the shit is sickening. NEVER felt anything awful like that, even seeing other crashes. It was just too gruesome. Don’t ever want to repeat it either.

Garlic crabs, homie...garlic crabs. Wear a bib and bring plenty of Wet Wipes!

It’s still illegal for a man in a strapless gown to sell oranges on the street in Miami Beach while chugging a salamanazar of Cristal, so there’s that.

Mahomes is a great QB. Best play? 9 minutes left in the 4th Q, Barrett and Suh race past whoever should be fired today and are closing on him like starving savannah lions in dry season for the umpteenth time. After serpentine running away from them for 40 yards, they finally claw him to sink their teeth in, BUT, as…

Great take on James Beard! I’ve still never researched his history. 

I’ve always thought it should be spelled like it’s pronounced—doo-rag. Without the hyphen, the word durag looks like it describes a by-product of whale bile used by the cosmetics industry, similar to ambergris. Either that or a mountain valley region in Tunisia.

I can tell you’re all northerners because you have a discussion about buttermilk biscuits without mentioning the three most glorious things to put on them:
