Transcript

Some of my favorite soul food today I got Cleo's. So real quick, we got three wings, couple catfish fillets, candied yams and cornbread. There's literally no better day to try this than the first day of the NFL season because the candied yams remind me of the holiday season. So there's no sauce running on this. I don't think I'll need it. Keithley rated this place a 10, so let's go ahead and try it. Always start off with the wing. That catfish fillet finally. After having this, I can definitely tell that the other fish I've had around the city has definitely been fake. But I love catfish, man. The best catfish I've ever had was in Memphis. Fantastic, but this is very good too. It's awesome. I totally forgot the muffin. I just know this thing's gonna be good. Not too dry, it's kind of got like a cake-like consistency and I don't know if that's the standard for cornbread or if it's supposed to be more dry, more cake. Best I've ever had. All right, that might wrap it up for my chicken videos. I think my next endeavor is hit some Mexican spots and Cuban food. I love Cuban food. Maybe Little Village a little bit. Let me know what Mexican or Cuban spots to try next.
