I'm very excited about the place we're heading to right now we are in the Watts
neighborhood of South Central Los Angeles
we're going to go visit a man named Keith Jarrett. Keith has set up a small
restaurant in the driveway of his home on one hundred eighth street called All Flavor
No Grease. he's in an incredible personality if you've ever seen his
Instagram, All Flavor No Grease
"On the Ocho going up right now so all you gotta do is pull up and come to get your meals right
he's sort of a natural born showman I'm really excited to see him doing his
thing and to try some of this delicious food
I really want to hear this story about you selling breakfast burritos in the
sixth grade. -Haha -Can you tell me about how that all started
I've never been small I'll start there so
nevertheless I was nine times out of 10 very hungry, you hear me?
so when I bring my... they look at it begging for a piece like OOOOOO
but about the time you can piece it up for everybody, it's like... starting time to pack a couple
of extras and everywhere too big... but yeah a couple extras added up
yeah your friend was saying five dollars for your burrito
-Make sure my mom wasn't trippin first. like "why you need all these burritos for?"
tell us, did she get suspicious
a little bit but you know you keep a big smile going so she really not
trippin too much. she like okay it's all good. You sharing -- sharing is caring that's her
favorite line
-well so now you were just saying about how you wanted to do something for
yourself so when did you decide you know what I'm going to start doing this
business. i'm going to start to get into business for myself?
after high school I was trying to just figure out what I really want to do
asked friend about the situation sincerely for about a week straight
I said Lord
I don't want to do this no more. no 401k in it
I don't want to give my mom's house rated it's not it's not right PERIOD i need something
better
they said do what you learn how to do in school? The only thing I learned how to do in
school was to sell candy. BING I opened up a candy house. So we started the candy house right here on
the front porch
we down the street chillin. holding small talk
they throw a joke in the air: You down there selling candy --- you should start selling
tacos
laughs - that's another bright idea. so I capitalize on the joke
one tuesday, sold some taco my first two days I made 50 bucks. i say what? i said a
profit the first day? I said all right i'm a blow this up
well now who taught you how to cook? - Mama
-yeah? she cooked tacos growing up? -yeah the way she made him lettuce tomatoes cheese sour
cream ketchup hot sauce
I'm like okay that's not a traditional taco.
-Lettuce Cheese sour cream and Ketchup?
-yeah! Boy that's bomb boy, you better hit that!
I'm trying to tell you something boy -never had that before!
I had a dream all flavor no grease came in a dream just a name right before I
woke up I woke up in the middle of the night, three four in the morning.
All flavor no grease, like what the hells that?
so then about six seven AM I tell mom ALL FLAVOR NO GREASE!
first thing she say
that's catchy! So I tell my friends All flavor no grease
so then i'll get another small voice sayin' make you an instagram page with
all flavor no grease
I only promote three things: Food promote God and promote positivity
I'm like all right it's not gonna be too hard. are different gangs, rival gangs
everybody will come here
don't get along but they gon' have peace right here hmm rather they hate
each other they get right here they're here they say we got peace for five minutes
ok that's exactly what happened
yeah
how long you been coming here for? I've been coming here for as long as I've been trapping
and that's a while
-ok. -when I come i ain't goin lie i get special orders
I even get delivery. -you get special treatment? -no not special treatment
I'm justl like ayy -- tomorrow or sometime this week can we get some lobsters and shrimp?
like what can you do for me?
he's like you know what? I could do that sometime this week. NOT today but sometime this week.
-That's his favorite line. -No but he comes through, he does.
so you think is the best food in south central right here? -The best food in South Central?
Psh, America. the best food in America! -Thats a strong pronouncement from... what's
your name? - Shay. -from Shay
you heard it here first. the best food in America
and the order is prepared so let's start with this little taco right here. a little
bit of smokiness from the BBQ sauce, a little bit of sweetness, a simple
dressing of sort of a creamy cilantro and onion sauce
It's great. chefs out there i would like to see more BBQ chicken tacos in the future
thank you very much.
I am very much looking forward to trying this lobster burrito out
(Car Noise) I don't even... I didn't even see what happened behind me but it sounded like
it was going about a hundred sixty miles per hour or so. (Sirens Ring) And now I hear cops.
which is not a surprise
this looks great we've got a big hunk of meaty lobster just sticking right out of
here we've got the pico de gayo the onions cilantro tomato mixture. Chipotle
take notes, this is what you should be doing. the first thing that hits you is
that buttery lobster flavor. kind of tender, pilant, chewy of the lobster meat you get
this wonderful buttery coding all over the lobster. really nicely complemented
by the acid and sour notes of the pico de gayo you've got the kind of melted
cheese which is sort of all over it and then what's nice is I haven't always
been a big fan of rice and burritos but I think in this case it works really
nicely as kind of like a grounding force because you have such a rich meat --- and
having that nice basic starch prevents it from being totally over the top. we're
going to start eating all of the meats here in this Triple Threat quesadilla
which features steak, chicken, shrimp, cheese, pico de gayo, onion cilantro sauce,
and sour cream
I haven't yet developed like the food vocabulary to describe exactly what's
going on in this quesadilla it here right now because its many many meats
they all are distinct and you can definitely taste all of them but they
sort of come together like voltron, ready to form the Voltron a super robot that will
dominate the galaxy.
I'm going to be frank it's a complete mess. and it looks like it but it's super
delicious. -Shrimp taste okay?
-it is real good! I really hope you enjoyed this episode of dining on a dime
from all flavor no grease in Watts if you'd like to watch more please click
here. back in the day
like thousands of years ago up in the mountains of Lebanon just exactly what
there is there a man and his wife she's making the bread spreading it out and
he's going on that
saj which is like that piece of metal to make it thin and cook it
