I recently saw an episode of kitchen nightmare or whatever it's called where that famous british chef goes around helping struggling restaurants and he went to a soul food joint, that black lady that owned the place ran that place like a dictator and swore all the food and décor was perfect.
when the chef came and ordered some food, they microwaved the mac n cheese, lmao. well, they also served him some chitlins, and it looked like insides of something that used to be a living animal that was put in a blender.
I never seen chitlins or knew what it was but that was not a good first impression for me. it didn't look edible and looked like chum or pig slop
