Probably 65-70% of people have worked in foodservice at sometime in their lives. It would be the 30% that have not, that can be impatient and demanding customers. No examples of that in this video but I was just thinking about it. Cooking for the public at any level, Chef or Cook deserves great respect.

Here is the true hard working Americans love you all

The gentleman who was wearing the “Maynard Auto Parts” baseball cap was very informative (apology, I didn’t catch his name). I loved it when he said when he was growing up, money wasn’t a problem! So true! They ate pinto beans, cornbread, and fried potatoes. That is what I grew up on in North Texas. Those truly were good days and good people. Hard working just like he is talking about. Everything revolved around the Church! He is a very wise man. Would like to hear more from him. This was a very enjoyable video. Thank you John. God bless all! 🙏♥️

Richard not much on Small talk 😅😂

Love the old girl in the kitchen when she was asked if she was working hard - "This work's not hard, it's steady". Women like that pioneered across America just getting stuff done! What a legend!

Biscuits and gravy can't be beat!

Bacon, egg and mater is my goto sammich. With lots of mayo. Shoulda seen the Waffle House lady trying to figure out how to write that up. She's like "is that on the menu"? She didn't even call it out to the cook, she walked over and whispered it to him..........lol Naw...........just slap it together..........lol

I'm glad to see there's some mom and pop businesses still open with the way the economy is

What a lovely place with down to earth lovely people! Richard is a master in the kitchen...he has it down to a science with technique and timing and the food looks amazing! He may be quiet but he explodes with talent! Great video!

This video 📷📸 was absolutely amazing and incredible. I love it when people want to keep old general stores in business because that is how it was back in the day. And I hope and pray 🙏 that these old general stores will always be alive. I want to personally say thank you to everyone at the general store for all of your hard work and dedication because it is outstanding 👍💪. But most importantly I want to thank John for all of his hard work and dedication for filming these amazing places. May the good Lord always bless everyone and keep you all safe and healthy where ever you go. Enjoy your day and take care

Love these Country Grocery Store, Deli, Food videos. God Bless all these fine people. Thank you for sharing.

Having travelled from the UK to the USA and travelled across it many times by road, I've always found the folk get nicer and nicer the further you get away from the cities.

This is a really great video showing the country restaurants

Watching Richard cook was impressive..

I live in a small town called Whitwell TN just outside of chattanooga. I love watching this video im just 37 and its crazy how much things change over the years. Love little stores like this had a lot around here that are gone now. The older gentleman at the end of the video is the kind of guy you can set back and talk with all day.

Delivers food to home bound ❤

these type stores are absolutely the best. imo there aren't enough of them. Martha is a national treasure. Women like her are what this country is missing.

White Lilly Flour. Good choice 😀

I'm glad i found your channel love what you do John much appreciated really enjoy your videos plus the world gets to see these mom and pop operations!

Impressive multitasking
