- [Joy] Birmingham is now known as a new foodie city,
and moms just don't have time to cook.
So if you're looking for some local down home southern
cuisine, then pull up a chair for
Dining Out with Comedienne Joy.
That's right, Dining Out with Comedienne Joy
takes us to some of the best places to eat
in Birmingham, and its surrounding cities.
So whether you're on 20, 59, east or west;
or 65 north or south, or 459 or somewhere in between,
Dining Out with Comedienne Joy is about to tip your tummy,
and make those taste buds water.
So if you like your meat three in a brick and mortar,
or in a gas station, Dining Out with Comedienne Joy
takes you to some of the best spots in town.
What's up everybody, this your girl, Comedienne Joy,
and I'm super excited that you joining me today, why?
Because it's my second year anniversary
of being on the air, bringing you amazing places to eat,
here in Birmingham, and other surrounding areas,
and throughout the state of Alabama.
Right now, I'm in front of my first place that signed up
to be on the show, and that's here at the
American Ranch House in Tarrant, Alabama.
Now, when it comes to some amazing food
for your meat and three, for your breakfast,
and those good old ox tails that you can get twice
a week, American Ranch House is the only place
that I like to recommend right here at Tarrant,
and guess what my friends also have some delicious
fried Oreos, so check this out guys.
So when you're in Tarrant on Highway 79 north,
where can you go to get a homemade delicious fresh cooked
meat and three?
Nowhere else, but my friends at the American Ranch House.
- Fred! - Yeah!
- Pork chop!
- [Joy] Seven days a week, there's always something good
cooking up on the steam bar at the American Ranch House.
All of the food is homemade, and fresh.
- Tomatoes going for the okra, corn, tomato,
better known as succotash to the older people.
- [Joy] And the collards are handpicked.
What do you put in these greens, some groundhog,
some fatback, which one is it?
- [Chef] No, we use no pork, and cook our vegetables.
- Straight turned.
- [Joy] Not sure, which is my favorite at the
American Ranch House, is it the fried chicken,
or the fried Oreos?
(oil frying)
- The waffle mix gotta be done, gotta be well done.
- I couldn't wait to taste these fried Oreos,
and they are burning my hands, they're so hot.
Now these, this the business right here.
Look at them, they're melting.
These are the best fried Oreos in Birmingham.
You gotta come here to the American Ranch House in Tarrant,
get you some of these.
This stuff like crack, y'all.
There's even peach, and blueberry cobbler
to satisfy your sweet tooth.
She said that she didn't know that the crust
was the most important part of that cobbler.
Eric, if you don't give me that crust.
See this is what I'm talking about,
everybody know that when you eat some cobbler,
and it's hot, and steaming, like this;
this is the most important part, forget the fruit.
Here at American Ranch House is a meat and three
that has the same price for lunch, and for dinner.
- [Joy] Alright, so are you a regular here?
- Four or five times a week.
- [Joy] Wow, so what's your favorite thing
that you get here? - I like the
steam table, and I love the meat loaf,
and their baked beans, they've got the best baked beans
in town.
- Everything is very, very good, service is wonderful.
- [Joy] Now if you're looking for something
on the lighter side, you might want to try
this combo loaded baked potato.
American Ranch House also has drive-through
for those who want to get it, and go.
- Obviously get the ribs, and the chicken and the dressing.
- [Joy] Is that what you get at the back?
- No, I actually come see about the ox tails today.
- Uh, the ox tails.
- [Joy] And when it comes to one of the top sellers,
the ox tail, it comes whole, but then is chopped down,
and seasoned to perfection, every Friday, and Sunday.
- [Chef] Fried pork chops, ox tails,
fried catfish with the fried melon,
you can only get that here at the Ranch House.
Fried green tomatoes.
Beef tips for beef tips and rice.
Barbecue ribs.
Fake chicken.
Dressing.
Macaroni and cheese.
Rice.

let me see.
Mm, they're already so tender right here,

just got through Dining Out with Comedienne Joy.
I had a real good old fried okra sandwich,
it was all that.
- Now I have to also give a special shout out to my friends
over here a Jake's Soul Food Cafe.
You see they've been rolling with Comedienne Joy,
long before there was a TV show,
and I've been with them since they were in Pelham,
Hoover, and now, in McCalla, right off the Letson Farm exit,
that's exit one off 459, take a look at the delicious
Caribbean food, soul food, their rum punch, and my favorite
thing at Jake's, their fried chicken.
(funky music)
When you're in Hoover, Alabama, close to Highway 150,
and you're craving some delicious amazing soul food,
there's only one place to go, and that's at my friends
at Jake's Soul Food Cafe.
- [Woman] They're delicious, they so good,
it's so much better than the country.
- I've never had them this crispy,
and still be this cooked on the inside.
This is really good, this is the best fried
green tomato I've had.
- [Joy] Folks are raving over the fried green tomatoes,
and other good eats at Jake's Soul Food Cafe.
Now Jake's has moved to a new location
on Highway 150 in Hoover, and they're still serving
those delicious comfort foods, like pork chops and gravy,
fried tilapia and shrimp, mac and cheese,
and shrimp and grits, plus some ox tails.
- Actually they need to marinade for 24 hours,
and then after we let them marinade,
then we sear, and graze these on top of the stove
to actually, to seal in the marinade, the spices.
- [Joy] So how many plates of damn ox tails do you all
go through. - About 25 plates,
well we call em bowls, 25 bowls of ox tails.
- [Joy] Once the oxtails are seared,
they're then placed in a large pot with a mixture
of peppers, and onions, and other seasoning,
to make my favorite thing, gravy.
- And now I'm just gonna let it boil for about a hour,
and just let it finish boiling for the next fifteen minutes,
and then after that, they'll be ready to be served.
And then we also add a plantain, and a cornbread roll.
- Awesome, the flavor, good,
West Indian Caribbean flavor.
Plantain, rice, and beans, all good.
- [Joy] And after hearing that, I couldn't wait to taste it
for myself.
This is so good right here, cause it really has
the whole Caribbean theme on it.
- Right. - Just like some very tender
Caribbean bean, so I love that, love the fact
that you have the beans in here,
but one of the favorite things that I love here about
Jake's are these plantains.
Listen, these are the best plantains I have ever had
in the United States of America.
They're so good, because they're cooked perfectly,
they're tender with just the right amount of sugar to it.
And after the break, we'll show you some of
Jake's famous fried chicken wings,
and their shrimp and grits.

- [Joy] Before the break, we showed you
the oxtails at Jake's Soul Food Cafe in Hoover.
This delicious shrimp and grits is another popular item
at the new location.
- I need to get this recipe.
- [Joy] You need the recipe?
- Not that they're gonna give it to me,
but yeah, it would be nice to make this at home.
- Shrimps and grits was absolutely amazing.
Cornbread is one of my favorite things
so it is top notch, rum punch to die for.
Ya man.
- Joy, you gotta try shrimp and grits.
- Girl, they look so delicious, and this rue that's on here,
it looks amazing, and then look at all these tomatoes that's
on, and this onion, and these big jumbo shrimp.
Girl, yes, I can't wait to dig in.
This is fabulous, my mouth tastes the
tomatoes in here, and I like the spices in here,
it's bit like they're jumping on my tongue.
You're probably gonna tell me in the secret
that's in your weave. - I can't do that.
- Girl says she don't wanna tell me no secrets,
but I tell you what if you come here to Jake's,
you can taste it for yourself.
This shrimp and grits, y'all, this is phenomenal.
I'm telling your momma can't make nothing like this.
I'm gonna chow down, boy, this is amazing.
I'm telling you, look at this big jumbo shrimp
in here, listen, can't make it like this,
get it on right here at Jake's on 150.
But many customers still like to come to Jake's
for their Caribbean food.
- Excellent, this is the best,
this is so good,
and then for a combination plate to be the price that it is,
and you get to get all of this food.
We got rum punch on special, five bucks,
so I can't complain, it is delicious food.
- I had the Kingston combination,
which is the jerk chicken, the curry chicken,
and the ox tail's amazing, if I could give it ten stars,
I would, it's really, really good.
- [Joy] Now one of my favorite dishes at Jake's
is the fried chicken wings.
Look at these big wings right here.
O lord, it's so hot, listen, they are huge,
they don't get you none of these premature chicken wings
like they do at them other places,
that's why I love it over here, these are full size wings,
look at the smoke that's coming off here,
and see a lot of y'all have been offending me
because when you eat your chicken wings,
you leave too much meat on here.
These wings are too good that you just leave meat on it,
I'm about to give you a class on how to eat chicken wings.
Step one when you eat chicken,
you got to break the wing, like I did, in two.
Step two, you start with the drumstick.
Take a bite, eat everything except for the gristle.
Oh lord.
You better call Jesus in between, cause it's good.
Step three, you got your wing tip, break it in half,
just like this.
Step four, pull your bones up, this chicken's so hot y'all.
Jake's don't play around with food, it's fresh,
oh lord Jesus, it's hot.
Clear baby.
It's always important to safe the skin,
but you got to eat this too.
Do you eat your wing tip? - no I don't eat it.
- She's precocious, she used to be my friend,
but not no more.
Safe that skin for last, step five.
This is how you eat chicken.
Now if you don't feel like coming here to Jake's to eat,
guess what, they even deliver to you.
I wonder how much chicken do I need to order,
in order for them to bring it to me.
The food sure is good.

- Well it's no secret that at the beginning of every year,
we all want to eat good, cause we wanna look good,
and feel good, but when it comes to your food options,
you don't want any bland food that tastes like crap,
you want some good food, and for that,
if you want you food good, and healthy,
you got to make your way here to Acton road,
and see my friends at Heat-n-Eat Healthy.
What if there was a way to eat all of your favorite
comfort foods, I'm talking about stuff like Salisbury steak
with smashed potatoes, and you got to have that
mushroom gravy.
How about pecan crusted chicken,
chili,
spaghetti,
and even pot roast.
What if you could eat those things,
and they're not only healthy, taste amazing
like momma made it, and it was already cooked.
That sounds like heaven on earth,
and that is why you have got to make stop today
to my friends over at Heat-n-Eat Healthy.
- These our take on food that people generally like,
it's just a healthier version of them.
The lunch bowls are an easy option to give people on the go
something to eat, where they can take it,
and give them all their essential vitamins, and nutrients,
in one.
We wanted to come up with vegan options
for our clients that may, they're thinking about
going vegan, and then who doesn't like Salisbury steak,
and mashed potatoes, it is just a different version,
we using ground turkey instead of using ground beef.
We made our own smashed potatoes instead of using
the traditional butter, and sour cream.
We don't compromise on the taste,
it still is flavorful, and very good,
and of course, we have our green beans,
which have been sautéed with some pea shoots as well.
- Alright now Chef Rodney, all of this food looks amazing,
but do you have fried chicken?
Can you make your girl some healthy fried chicken.
- I can make you healthy fried chicken,
it's oven fried chicken.
- See this is why I gotta come here to Heat-n-Eat Healthy.
- That's right - So Rodney can make me
look skinny as I get my fried chicken,
and some of this amazing other food that's served over here.
Heat-n-Eat owner, Cindy Howland, created this company
to save her life.
- I was almost on the road, the same path
as my family, they're borderline diabetic,
blood pressure issues, and potential heart issues.
I know as a single mom that it's very difficult
to watch what you eat, and have a very active, healthy,
lifestyle, so this is really been a saving grace to me
because I have lost weight since I started this,
my blood pressure is down.
- I got my meat and my taters.
This a southern dish. - That is.
It's our Salisbury steak.
- Mm, okay, this gravy... - Yes it is.
- Is vegan made. - Yes.
You can have gravy, just because you're eating healthy
does not mean that you have to go without your gravy.
- Oh, this is the bomb, is this mushrooms on top?
- Yes, it's the mushroom gravy.
- Oh my goodness, and this is an actual serving size.
- Yes. - Oh, I'm going in
on this right here.
Y'all gonna tune in next week, and say where's
the rest of Joy, she then disappeared.
I'm eating all this food, I ain't eating nothing skinny boy.
Very, very grateful, I got this.
And after the break, I will tell you about the chili,
as well as Chef Rodney will make his famous oatmeal.

company on Acton road called Heat-n-Eat Healthy.
They have excellent meal plans for paleo,
vegan, and low calorie meals.
- [Cindy] In addition, we also have a plan we call our
low carb, gluten sensitive.

So Cindy, you're telling me, we just pop the top,
eat the food, and then throw it away.
When we come here to Heat-n-Eat healthy,
we'll have a full stomach, and a clean kitchen.
- That's it, Joy, that's the whole idea.
- Now that's another reason you need to make your way here
to Acton road, over here to Heat-n-Eat Healthy,
good food, and a clean kitchen.
- Start off with our chili.
- Now tell me about this chili, it's turkey, right?
- It is, but does it taste like turkey?
- You know what, it might, but I cook with turkey
all the time at home. - Okay.
- This is good, it's very flavorful in here.
- Yes. - It tastes like a
regular fat chili.
- It tastes like a regular chili.
- It's all the flavors in here of chili,
with cumin in here, with the chili spices,
this is very good.
And of course, breakfast is the most important meal of
the day, check out Chef Rodney's overnight oats.
- [Rodney] What you gonna do is take the oats,
put it in a bowl, then we're gonna add,
start with one cup of almond milk,
add a little bit of our in house war spice mix.
Here we're just using a little honey,
but you can also use stevia,
or you can use sugar, if you just want to use
white or brown.
We're gonna mix these guys, mix this all together.
About a one ounce scoop, put it next the texture,
and for you, joy, we're gonna add a lot of chocolate chips.
- [Joy] Yes.
- [Rodney] And we're gonna add just a little more
chocolate chips. - [Joy] Yes.
That's always good. - Told ya.
- No problem with sugar in here, I may eat this,
chocolate giving you sweet. - That's what you do.
- Because it tastes like regular oatmeal,
but I do love how these textures in here with the mess.
- Well okay.
- But I got to ask you, Rodney, does bacon come with this
oatmeal?
Sausage, pork, chicken? - Any of those options
are available for you if you choose to make it.
- See, that's why I like Rodney, and this my dude over here.
I'm gonna be the only fat person over here,
and here to eat trying to loose weight,
cause I'm trying to mess up that portion sizes,
but you got to check him out, Chef Rodney is amazing,
