Speaker 1: to come on my show. Now, the cup that started
Speaker 1: with the first show, because the second show, the relationship
Speaker 1: is brown. We're gonna talk about that for a minute,
Speaker 1: because I pulled four of the episodes. I pulled the
Speaker 1: information about it because I want to talk about the
Speaker 1: shrimp Fast. Oh lord, the Sunday dinner. Oh look, So
Speaker 1: we're gonna move down, just setting everybody up for the
Speaker 1: food we're gonna talk about later on, because we don't
Speaker 1: talk about dessert. Is that all right with you? That's
Speaker 1: fine with me? Now I talk about the Cupcake Championship.
Speaker 1: What exactly is that? So Cupcake Championship is a early
Speaker 1: if you remember, a few years ago, they Food Network
Speaker 1: had a few shows on Cupcake Wards Cupcake champions So
Speaker 1: it's such a revamp of that because cupcakes are really
Speaker 1: popular um during that time, and so it kind of
Speaker 1: went away for a while that that went down, and
Speaker 1: now cupcakes are really popular again. So Cupcake Championship is
Speaker 1: basically a revamping of that where world class cupcakers come together.
Speaker 1: We call it the Cupcake Battle Round and they do too.
Speaker 1: They have two um rounds. First round is the Designer Challenge.
Speaker 1: In the second round is the Imagination Challenge, where they
Speaker 1: just do things with cupcakes. I had never seen before.
Speaker 1: These these contestants were absolutely amazing and they make they
Speaker 1: make tableaus that are just larger than life. They make
Speaker 1: one thing. One of the contestants made a dinosaur ranch,
Speaker 1: and there was unicorns, and we've had flying cows and
Speaker 1: this is all out of cupcakes. Okay, okay, okay, cool, okay,
Speaker 1: let's go back to the cupcake dinosaur. Now are they
Speaker 1: just look cupcakes? Separate little cupcakes that they just design
Speaker 1: it with? How does that? I'm just let my imagination
Speaker 1: were on radio, we also on streaming on Facebook. How
Speaker 1: does that? You say that? Real slick? Like we were
Speaker 1: both pick that up. I know what a dinosaur cake
Speaker 1: would look like, but what does a dinosaur cupcake? So
Speaker 1: basically it's it's um, it's kind of like a tableau.
Speaker 1: It's more almost like a pull apart. So this artist
Speaker 1: actually may put the cupcakes together and did like an
Speaker 1: airbrush design of a dinosaur. And yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: never would have thought. And then the way that she
Speaker 1: shaped the cupcakes. It was shaped like a dinosaur, but
Speaker 1: the air rushing was more of the pictures and things
Speaker 1: like that. Wow, so this is uh, this is like,
Speaker 1: this is kind of like uh, cupcake Championship on steroids.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. Because see, I'm in my
Speaker 1: little kitchen, I'm struggling with my red velvet with my
Speaker 1: little white icing, and I'm a baker. I love to bake,
Speaker 1: but to do it to that level of which they
Speaker 1: do it, it's it's definitely a level of artistry. I'm
Speaker 1: old school. I can make you, like you said, German chocolate,
Speaker 1: red velvet, um, vanilla chocolate, and can do those things,
Speaker 1: but the way that they put those things together really
Speaker 1: takes it really takes me skill. Okay, how many episodes
Speaker 1: did you did you take for this series? It was
Speaker 1: five episodes, five episodes to go to take him to
Speaker 1: the championship. And we're gonna talk more about that. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go to break right now, and I'm talking to
Speaker 1: Miss Brown. I'm calling Miss Brown. Let name of her show,
Speaker 1: Miss Brown, Delicious, Miss Brown, and we're gonna come back
Speaker 1: and talk about episodes from Delicious Miss Brown on the
Speaker 1: Food Network Shan McDonald hungry on moneymaking conversations. All we're
Speaker 1: back moneymaking conversations. Should I say food moneymaking conversation? Because
Speaker 1: I got on the phone with me this morning. The

Speaker 1: call him Miss Brown, Delicious, Miss Brown, make Me Hungry,
Speaker 1: Miss Brown TV showed all over the Food Network Miss Brown.

Speaker 1: Sean McDonald. She has met her number one fan and
Speaker 1: didn't even know. She's just calling in. Y'all. Okay, they
Speaker 1: told me to call this number, and she called earlier too.

Speaker 1: be doing much happy. They sit back there like they
Speaker 1: don't do anything, but they want. They pop up with
Speaker 1: information that makes me look good. So I saw, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give us a love on that. Now that
Speaker 1: surprised you the most about this show is five episodes.
Speaker 1: What surprised you the most about hosting this show just
Speaker 1: in general the level of artistry from the bakers, I
Speaker 1: mean to see going in and that this is my
Speaker 1: actually first time ever hosting a show. I'm normally a
Speaker 1: judge on the show, and when I got to call
Speaker 1: the host the show, It's like, Okay, I don't know
Speaker 1: what I'm getting myself into, but coming into the show,
Speaker 1: just being around people of most of them have very
Speaker 1: first time being on camera um and being able to
Speaker 1: do what they do under that amount of pressure. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's pressure being a host, but then to see
Speaker 1: them doing what they do now they get exactly whatever
Speaker 1: time that we give them on cameras what we give them.
Speaker 1: So the fact that they're able to do those insane
Speaker 1: challenge just under pressure with like you know, twenty cameras,
Speaker 1: light and and it's just just to see that level
Speaker 1: of artistry with under that pressure that surprised me the
Speaker 1: most with this show. Now here's interesting thing about your background.
Speaker 1: Now it says Charleston. Did you grow up in Charleston,
Speaker 1: South Carolina? I did, Okay, I grew up between Atlanta
Speaker 1: and Charleston. So your your whole experience has been Southern
Speaker 1: style cooking. I'm assuming correct, Yes it has. Okay. Cool. Now,
Speaker 1: now you go off to college, do your thing with
Speaker 1: all these memories of your being in the kitchen with
Speaker 1: your grandmother. What what what? How does she influence you
Speaker 1: as as the talents that you possessed today? What does she?
Speaker 1: What does she do for you? Your grandmother? Well being
Speaker 1: that I don't have um professional culinary background. My culinary
Speaker 1: background is my grandmother. And because I'm of and I'm
Speaker 1: not sure, I'm pretty sure because you've done your research.
Speaker 1: A guichi have you heard of the gull of people? Um?
Speaker 1: And so it's a little from New Orleans area, the
Speaker 1: Low country, you know, the low So you know, so
Speaker 1: you know there's a difference there Southern and there's there's
Speaker 1: Gala gichi and now we're Southern people, but we have
Speaker 1: a background and our heritage of West African descent. So
Speaker 1: growing up in a household with a grandmother that grew
Speaker 1: up in you know, the forties and the fifties when
Speaker 1: very much of Charleston, South Carolina was still you know,
Speaker 1: very much rooted in the Dulla background, especially my grandmother
Speaker 1: grew up. I don't know if you've heard of this
Speaker 1: in Charleston, but wad Mala Island Okay, okay, great. So
Speaker 1: that's when my grandmother grew up. And where she grew
Speaker 1: up at was very you know, there was one way in,
Speaker 1: one way out. She grew up on a farm, So
Speaker 1: I grew up with a grandmother who learned most of
Speaker 1: her cooking from before farmer table was a sad So
Speaker 1: I grew up with a grandmother who learned how to
Speaker 1: cook from things that she grew in her garden, from
Speaker 1: the seafood that her her father caught with fishing nets
Speaker 1: that he made by hands. So my background was not
Speaker 1: just learning how to fry chicken and macaroni and cheese
Speaker 1: and which is all great, but I also learned a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff about my West African roots, with like
Speaker 1: okrah stu and um shrimp and grits and and all
Speaker 1: of those things that people now look at as a
Speaker 1: delicacy in restaurants. I grew up eating that awesome. Now
Speaker 1: let's go to show. That's what's route you delicious, miss Brad.
Speaker 1: Just the description they told me shares their family events,
Speaker 1: culture and recipes. Close to her heart, including Sunday supper
Speaker 1: after crabbing on the dock, a low country ball at
Speaker 1: the beach, and shrimp voting to pare hair to prepare
Speaker 1: for the ultimate shrimp fats. Now, when you when you
Speaker 1: do a show like this, first of all, tell us
Speaker 1: your your your vision for the show before I start
Speaker 1: diving in asking my food. My vision for the show
Speaker 1: is to give the world a glimpse of an area
Speaker 1: that many people don't hear about unless it's in a
Speaker 1: form of a documentary. Um and so it being on
Speaker 1: showing an area and a a group of distinct group
Speaker 1: of people that live in a very beautiful area. In
Speaker 1: the type of food that we cook. It's just me
Speaker 1: giving a glimpse into this world and also preserving my heritage.
Speaker 1: That's very important for me with the show. Now, this
Speaker 1: show Delicious Miss Brown, premier Sunday, July am, Eastern Standard time,
Speaker 1: Pacific Standard time on the Food Network. Now I went
Speaker 1: through I'm gonna tell you, I tell you I'm a man.
Speaker 1: There there are two people that impressed me in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: It's you and my girl, the pir andeer woman. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. The Pyingeir woman. That's good.
Speaker 1: She can make it look simple and make it look good.
Speaker 1: All I've never seen abody she'd be talking to just
Speaker 1: be stirn and be moving stuff out of the kitchen
Speaker 1: and into the oven so fast. And you do the
Speaker 1: same thing. So that's what I like about you because
Speaker 1: I feel that because you know, I'm not said there's
Speaker 1: nothing nothing bad about being trained because everything is so natural.
Speaker 1: So when you talk of that pan moving this way,
Speaker 1: that you're grabbing over there, you're doing a picture this
Speaker 1: you're not measuring. That's that's how my mom cooked. My
Speaker 1: mom would be in the kitchen. I didn't know what
Speaker 1: she did, but when she finished it all taste too.
Speaker 1: And that's how you And that's a compliment to your
Speaker 1: skill set. You cool. Now let's talk about this episode
Speaker 1: number one they're gonna premier July twenty eight, the Sunday Supper. Now,
Speaker 1: they said you talked, you did fried chicken po boys,
Speaker 1: Grandma crab mac and cheese, and for dessert you had
Speaker 1: an TC's famous lemon lines. Solda kick in a bunch
Speaker 1: sho cas my thing. I love you know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. We were saying page Now it took up
Speaker 1: in and understand that I know the lingo. So let's start.
Speaker 1: Let's start with I've never had a fried chicken popo
Speaker 1: trip pop all day long, I go to Papado, I
Speaker 1: gotta get my shrimp poper fried chicken. Tell me about
Speaker 1: that one though, Yes, fried. So I decided to do
Speaker 1: something a little different now prized my family on this
Speaker 1: episode and do something that they weren't looking for. Not Traditionally,
Speaker 1: after church, either the cooks at the church will cook,
Speaker 1: or I will cook, or somebody in the family will cook,
Speaker 1: and we'll do our running the mill, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: some fried chicken, some fish and greens and all of that.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to kick things up a notch and
Speaker 1: do something they weren't expected. So I took one of
Speaker 1: their faith risk my fried chicken, and I wanted to
Speaker 1: do something a little bit more handheld since we're going
Speaker 1: to eat outside. So I came up with the idea
Speaker 1: of doing a fried chicken po boy. So there's fried
Speaker 1: chicken strips that I do this really awesome marinade and
Speaker 1: dredge on the chicken. I topped it with a slaw.
Speaker 1: This we we we got a special name uh for
Speaker 1: this um the sauce that you gotta gotta watch. You
Speaker 1: should to see the special. So we do it, so
Speaker 1: we gotta do, we gotta do. We do a little
Speaker 1: special sauce and we you know, to the typical um
Speaker 1: you know, some pickles and tomatoes, and it's gigantic, it's insane.
Speaker 1: The sandwich is is huge and we put it on
Speaker 1: a classic French bread. It's coasted with little butter. So
Speaker 1: you get that flavor, you get crunch, you get color.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful sandwich. Awesome. I'm in July, Netork loving
Speaker 1: thirty delicious mess brown. Now let's courses this other episode,
Speaker 1: episode two. See, I like those low country balls the
Speaker 1: closest I can get to it in the city. I
Speaker 1: go over to the Juicy Crab. They threw out the
Speaker 1: ball legs, the corn on the car at the sausage,
Speaker 1: the crab legs and the shrimp. What exactly that right there?
Speaker 1: Or I get my master build out. I dropped that
Speaker 1: bad boys some steam ball. Put me them little the
Speaker 1: little round baby potatoes up in that bad boy. I'm
Speaker 1: winning girl. I'm what is your little country ball? What
Speaker 1: is your low country ball? So I love country boyl
Speaker 1: and Charleston and berries um, but it's mainly the same.
Speaker 1: We call it Frogmore Stuit when we it's the traditional.
Speaker 1: Now when you when you say Frogmore store, people get
