We need a breakfast edition of Texas Cafe Classics. Love this series.

Okra is harder to kill than other weeds and more useful in general.

My Mom and Dad ran a restaurant in Tennessee in the 50’s and 60’s and I just love the nostalgia these recipes bring to me. I have made the chicken fried steak (pork) multiple times now and we love it. My personal favorite is the squash and okra. Mama did not add squash to our okra but I really think it adds to the flavor. Thanks for the memories of Henry’s Restaurant on Highway 41 in Haletown, Tennessee.

The inside of this house looks a bit like a medieval torture chamber. Awesome.

The Texas Cafe series is phenomenal. Really enjoy watching it and learning.

Rip, you should do an episode talking about the proper way to season and care for cast iron.

I used cornmeal in your chili recipe to thicken at the end instead of your flour/water mix. Was happy to see it make an appearance here.

"The only wrong thing you can do to okra is let it get too big" < -- that was exactly what I did to the one okra I was able to grow on the one plant I was able to grow.

I really like your cooking videos. Thank you!

A well timed video Rip. I've been in need of a new idea for veggies in my recent RP Diet. Thanks!

That's how we ate it when I was growing up except mom would chop up onion to cook with it because Dad loved onion. Mom would also put a bunch up in the freezer to eat year round. She'd fry it half way done then freeze it and it kept really well. We always had a huge garden and we had to pick it every day and there is nothing in this world quite like a fresh picked tomato.

Poor guys up in Yankee land 😂 I’ve been eyeing the okra at the grocery store. Didn’t know it was so easy to cook! Definitely grabbing some next time.

I’ve made this dish several times for my family, they love it

This is the only way I had okra growing up. Cut it up fresh and shake it up with cornmeal in a ziplock back. Still make it that way. Also fry up sliced yellow squash the same way. Never tried them together though!

Question: Will this series continue after the security staff at the Alamo finds you guys downstairs in the kitchen and kicks you out?

Looks great!

That is outstanding.

I love these videos

I came to see the nice stone work of your kitchen and stayed for the soothing knowledgeable voice

In this installment of "how to burn the shit out of things"

God these are great, thank you Rip!!!

Looks good!

Made this tonight over here in London (UK). Its amazing

A perfect side dish with those Sirloin Tips you made!

Made this tonight with country style catfish and holy crap, this stuff is so good! Thanks Rip!

I've tried everything you cooked so far with success. 4 teenage girls who are picky eaters and one grown female who is picky as well. This looks good and I can't wait to try it.

My momma was from Wellington TX and just coated the okra in corn meal and fried it in grease. Your daddy's version looks tasty too. But most what I expected to see you do was hoist that pan up when it came time to plate it. The one-arm, cast-iron skillet hoist is one of my strength goals.

looks amazing. as a northern yankee in nh can confirm u can find cut frozen okra.

Okra is difficult to find in Spain, but we have a similar dish, but with zucchini and potatoes, which are pan fried until they form a golden crust and then eaten with fried eggs!

Never had okra before, have rarely seen it "fresh" in the grocery store up here in Canada. I'll have to look for it in the frozen section and give this a try.

The internet was created for this type of content

I cook a similar dish early in the garden season, add some chipped up potatoes and a little flour with the cornmeal.

I'm not a big fan of okra, but this method of cooking the vegetables seems very interesting; I ought to try it out. Thanks, Rip.

This is my favourite recipe so far... thanks rip... I might add some ground cumin, chilli flakes and sumac.

Fried okra is the GOAT

My college mascot was a giant okra with boxing gloves, the fightin' okra!

in northern yankee land we can get fresh okra at indian markets. i think they either ship it in from way down south or grow it in greenhouses. frozen okra is always available though and might even taste better in a recipe like this

I add red ripe tomato to mine near the end. So good with tomatoes in it.

Northern Yankee here, been eating okra for decades. It's in every Indian restaurant, since Indians have been eating okra for, idk, several thousand years.

Nice to watch RIP cook while pulling some heavy deads for a set of 5 of course.

Where did the taste testers go? You’re an icon RIP!

Even in Yankeeland we have fresh okra in the stores.

What do you serve this with? The other dishes? Love the series but would like recommendations on what you serve the dishes with, ive out the hamburger steaks a couple times now and just served with mash potato and green beans ?

Mom grew and pan fried okra in Indiana. Yankee Doodle

This video made me go vegan. Thanks Rip, for showing me the way

Seeing Rip eat a vegetable-only dish is like seeing a rapper sing country music.

Mark looks like he's living in the flintstones movie set.. lol

*Professional chefs hate this guy.*

Yessirrrr

oh yeah I love okra.

Bamya gang where you at

Wicked House. Bacon and eggs?

hey rip, one can not simply eye ball the chili.

This with a gallon of milk and you got breakfast. Actually, I can see this paired with a half rack of ribs. Some corn bread. And sweet potatoe.

What we are gonna do today ! Let’s say that 50x in the video

Okra fry is my favourite among our vegetarian Indian dishes

“Fried squash is Feb U lisss”

that looks good. sadly no okra nore yellow squash in the artic Atlantic

Burnt okra like that is great. I hold the squash to the side and flash it really fast. Whole baby okra flashed in olive oil or just just steamed, also great, salt it people. I am not so big on it in liquids except Gumbo. Gumbo is all about the roux.

I'm from northern yankee land and I do know what okra looks like...do I pass?

Your Daddy was right about olive oil.

Burned? No. Nicely browned? Yes.

Loving this series. Also, Rip house tour when?

I would have added chopped onions.

Damn Rip, you live In a castle 🏰- Gotta have strength from Okra to kill dragons! 🐉 Got it! Will add it to the training plan! Train in a Dungeon 🏰 Eat mounds of pan-fried okras and kill dragons 🐉 for strength building.

Poke grows all over familys land

Cahmbyne and Fryhe...

It took Rip fahve minutes to fry that Okra

Fun fact: squash and okra are both fruits

Love me some fried okra. Fish, grits, hush puppies, and okra.

we used to call boiled okra "snot horns". the most vile and horrible vegetable known to man and the only thing my mother didn't make me eat.

Pink power ✊✊

You forgot to tell them to pick the okra young. If you let it grow on the plant too long, it's like eating a tree

As a Yankee that now lives in and loves Texas, all the okra I've had, sucks.

I eagerly await this channel evolving into “Texas boomer tells me how to do basic life tasks like I’m a five year old”.

Blacks are good

Lost my okra virginity with the breaded version on my first night in Georgia and was more in love than when I lost my actual virginity. Planning on growing a bunch next year. Sweet potatoes too.

How about a salad

Woah pardner get rid of that metal spatula. Save your pan and use wood. But im sure you know that

tmp comment

No okra in the North, thats funny. Believe it or not, we also have bananas and oranges. Crazy, I know.

My mom used to make fried okra. Kinda slimy

I wish Bre would have tasted it and dont use a fork for it :(

Who farted?

A plate full of burnt vegetables rofl

Teach us how to turn pink!

Not much protein in that meal. Are U supposed do drink a gallon of milk with that?

burnt like my elbows

Rip is getting slim. Must be the okra

Okra is overrated. It's just a slimey cucumber

It's not even breaded!...What kinda freakish crap is this?!

I dunno about this one

What's with the rabbit food, Rip? You catching feelings for AOC now?

man I was cringing at the amount of salt he added.

Vegetables? Not interested in rabbit food.

Vote Libertarian please thanks:)

Why did you put the butter in? It would have been vegan otherwise and I would have loved to taste that. There was more than enough fat in it already. Looks delicious nonetheless. peace.
