Love the pride, the method and the joy Vincent, his son and Mama Biscuit take in perfecting their food. I'm watching this at 5.45am and am now craving Honey's Kettle fried chicken. Would love watch a cooking show about these guys. They are all so personable.

@@alexdumont6401 Many restaurants have sinks especially to rinse meat. They're usually not the same sink that you wash your dishes in or your hand washing sinks! But I'm guessing you know that since your commenting on it right?🤣 I know potatoes aren't unsanitary like chicken but many restaurants have special sinks to soak their French fries in. To get the starch out . Including in-and-out burgers.They are usually separate from their dishwashing sinks as well. You don't stay in business for that long if you're getting people sick.🤷‍♂️
