Some Of These Fixins Need Fixin: We're Food Swapping 'Southern Plates'
Today we have Angela (wasn't she in another episode, too?), B. Able, and Deena.
While many have their thoughts on what deserves to be on a southern plate and what shouldn't, the one thing we can all agree on is you can't eat everybody's plate – and we'll see who's plate we won't be serving in this episode of 'Food Swap.'
Deena is up first and she made some collard greens, yams, baked mac and cheese, baked wings, and potato salad.
It looks good (to me), but not to B. Able. He was not feeling and took a bite of the mac and cheese claiming it was 'too cheesy.'
Angela, on the other hand, was busting that mac and cheese down but did mention it was 'salty.'
They both liked the yams but were not happy with the collard greens nor the baked wing.
Deena, A for effort baby.
Final score: 13.1
Next is B. Able – and while he was ready to dish out the shade, let's see if he'll be able to take it.
His plate, which has a garlic encrusted prime rib roast, baked macaroni and cheese, collard greens with bacon, and garlic hawaiian rolls.
The plate looked unappetizing to me, and to the ladies as well.
Angela said the plate looked 'sad.' Deena said she can smell some flavors, but is not a fan of the greens. She says they 'aren't seasoned enough.'
They both said the meat wasn't flavorful.
Now the roll, while burnt, didn't taste too bad to Deena.
Final score: 8
Last but not least, we have Angela's plate.
Now, Angela's plate – a little shifty because the greens had rosemary on top and I'm not sure why. She had some mac and cheese and turkey wings on the plate, too.
B. Able takes a bite of the mac and says it's 'too cheesy' and 'bland' while Deena isn't too mad at it.
B. Able did like the greens though, while Deena felt they tasted 'interesting,' yet flavorful.
The final thing on the plate was the corn muffin – and immediately no.
Deena spit that thang right on out and B. Able said it was 'dry.'
Final score: 14
Of course we love to have a surprise guest – and we have our girl Joyce who knows a thing or two about southern plates.
She starts off with Deena's plate and she wasn't too mad at it. While the chicken was under seasoned a bit, everything else on the plate was satisfying.
She gave our cousin Deena an 8.
Next, we have B. Able's plate. She said it gives a good plate to sit in front of the television.
An All-American plate if you will.
Joyce enjoyed the meat, the collard greens were a bit sour, and the mac and cheese could've used some pepper.
She didn't like the bread and gave it a 7.
Last but not least – it's Angela's turn and she loved the presentation. She said the collard greens are 'heavenly' but felt the mac and cheese could have some salt and pepper.
She gave it a 7.5.
This means Angela wins the southern plate competition and did her big one.
