Willie Maes isn't just a restaurant its an institution, through hurricanes and hard times it is a symbol if the strength of the people of New Orleans, thank you for showcasing it Mark and glad you finally made it out there!
The only people that care about and mention hurricanes that much are out of towners. We don’t care. It’s just hurricanes. We aren’t the only ones that have to deal with them and rebuild. Houston, Florida the entire coast etc. Appreciate the comment but that narrative is kind of aggravating and I hate that the media has done that.
@@Iamhimbutyouarenot you're right but NO's civil engineering works against it comes hurricane time as it becomes a city trapped underwater due to the levies thus making it far more dangerous than other cities. And not to mention the cost of rebuild due to the entire place being submerged longer than it should as compared to other places. To me, these are unique challenges that the people of NO have to surmount with much, much more resilience.
hi can u tell me the franchise restaurant at that video please tell me the address zip code phone number please I live in Los Angeles California my zip code 90029 please tell me where is the location at phone number address zip code please asap!!!!
Thank you for showcasing this historic black-owned restaurant and giving it the props it deserves. The roots and cooking style of black soul food are important. Black food is the soul of America.
Mark you’re the only full time eater I watch. Thank you for embracing our culture as African Americans and sharing the love for soul food. No matter where you travel, you always remain respectful, humble and most of all, excited. Your energy literally brightens my day. Thank you sir ❤❤❤
Your culture??? Does everything have to be about your culture??? Southern food is more than just a black persons culture...I'm white and me and my family was raised on this type of food...Try not to make it about YOUR people only in life.. Black folks and White folks in the south have for generations eaten foods like this...
@@RayRay002 Yes, our culture. Soul Food isn't just what we eat, it's how it's prepared. That's why you can go to a soul food restaurant and find spaghetti, as one example, on the menu. It won't look or taste anything like what an Italian restaurant would serve, but it's spaghetti just the same. Stop being intimidated by Blk ppl loving and appreciating ourselves. There's enough love for Wht folks in this world without you being bothered by someone sharing the love.
How is soul food your culture? White people can’t even season food properly but since you feel some type of way you can claim the the potato salad with raisins, dry and unseasoned chicken, deer meat and ambrosia salad with marshmallows because that 💩 is nasty anyway.😂😂😂 FYI white people in the south didn’t cook back then their slaves did. You might brought up the idea but we perfected it. 🙄
Let me tell you, when I visited New Orleans a few years ago, I went to Willy Mae's restaurant and the fried chicken was so good, I thought this must be what heaven is like, I have dreamt about that fried chicken ever since.
@@youngtisa8675 How can I say anything about a person who just makes videos of himself eating out at different places all over the world and who doesn't work for a living like the poor people who cook and are waiters and waitresses who serve him and who barely make enough to survive while Mark makes millions of dollars?
@@Resmith18SR its not his fault he lucked out by becoming famous on youtube like many youtubers who do the bare minimum, compared to regular people lmao quit hating
Thank you Mark for this video. I literally "laughed out loud" as you moved plates on that table to get closer to the next dish! You are the MVP! Thanks Ying and Micah for allowing Dad to travel and do amazing videos. Your videos bring so much joy to so many people. May God continue to bless you and your family. MAD LOVE!
I've been watching Mark Wiens for years with utter enjoyment. No matter the video, you know when he is at the apex of his satisfation is when he leans back and to his right. The further back and to the right he goes is when you know he's in culinary heaven. I've been to Willie Mae's and it's the best fried chicken I've ever had without a close second. Mark didn't feature the collard greens but they were freaking unbelievable. The cornbread was also the best I've ever had.
When I saw you were in New Orleans, I sincerely hoped you’d be making a pit stop at Willie Mae’s. Literally a must-stop for every one of our visits to this amazing city. You captured it perfectly. Thanks Mark!
I love the painting of Willie Mae and I hope it forever stays in the restaurant. I don't live in America so I'm loving seeing all sorts of places and the history behind the people. I live in New Zealand and I've been lucky to visit America's typical tourist places. The first time was when I was 13 and my sister was 15 as a family we went to Los Angeles, San Diego, New York and Hawaii. On my way to see my sister in England I stopped over at San Francisco for a week. I wish that I could of spent time in places off the beaten track to get to know the locals and experience their way of life. This is one of the reasons I really love watching Mark's videos, he is an outstanding guy, Ying is great at multi-tasking and the glimpses we see or hear from Micah are treasured. It sort of feels like the Weins are a part of my family and I can imagine many more people who feel the same. One man has bought so many people together not just the people he shares a meal with but all of us loyal subscribers as well. There are not many people who can do that. Those of you that got to the end of my message thank you and I sincerely hope that you and your loved ones are doing well especially with Delta Covid attacking the world. Xx
@@eazydazit thank you, your words have come at a time when I needed them most. The reason (I'll try not to waffle on) is because 14 months ago I lot my Mum to cancer and on the 27th of January this year I found my Dad has passed away unexpectedly but peacefully in his sleep. Eleven years ago when I was 32 my life long specialists gave me two years at the most to live which was realistic considering my extensive health history so we all thought that I would pass first. I've always been extremely close with my parents and when it became too dangerous medically for me to live alone I moved back home. I have to fight to overcome all of my medical issues but having my parents fight with me and for me made it a lot easier. It's a difficult time but I want to keep fighting for both my parents and myself because I take my parents with me everywhere in my heart. I hope that you and your loved ones are doing well and that you have a great life. You deserve all the kindness in the world because I feel that you are empathetic and I suspect that at times you feel a strong urge to reach out even to a stranger to share your kindness and caring thoughts. Thank you for doing that for me. Xx
I've had the pleasure of eating at Willie Mae's once a couple years ago. Waited over an hour in rain, but it was totally worth it. Agreed, best fried chicken I've ever had.
I love New Orleans. It's a special place in my heart. My Mom who just died on Sept. 14th 2021 would go to New Orleans each year with my Grandpa in August. He would buy her a new dress in NOLA for the upcoming school year and take it back to Oklahoma. Willie Mae's is a place that serves incredibly good food and Grandfather took me there as a young child. It's a place with heart and history that will forever live with me.
Oh my goodness, my taste buds are tingling just thinking about the fried chicken at Willie Mae's in New Orleans! It's no wonder that this iconic soul food restaurant is renowned for serving up some of the best fried chicken in all of America. From the crispy, golden-brown coating to the tender, juicy meat inside, every bite is pure perfection. And let's not forget about the sides - from the fluffy biscuits to the creamy mac and cheese, Willie Mae's knows how to do comfort food right. I can almost taste the flavors of this soulful feast just by watching this video. If you're ever in New Orleans, Willie Mae's is an absolute must-visit for any fried chicken lover!
Yummy! Nothing like soul food, Mark! Especially fried chicken! I remember reading an article that Willie Mae's Scotch House was totally destroyed during Hurricane Katrina and was totally rebuilt. Glad to see her business is still thriving and a true legacy to her. 😊😊😊
Right ? Mark’s videos always makes us so hungry and happy lol ! Such a great channel! We have a new, up-and-coming, family food taste testing channel also. We try to offer vast opinions on the foods we try! If you have any free time please check us out 🙏 thanks again!
Yes, he came to my city, Philly, PA a few weeks back for cheesesteaks and hoagies. Wish I had known. I would have loved to have met him. He went right in the hood too, where the the best cheesesteaks and hoagies are. Those tourists spots are crap. The best food is always in hole in the wall places.
Yesss!!! That place is absolutely everything. I had the pleasure of visiting the restaurant in 2015 and the service was excellent and I needed a nap after that meal. It is the best Fried chicken!!!
You always know that the food is better than just ok when Mark closes his eyes and leans back a little. Lol If the food is just good, but not great, he doesn't close his eyes! Lol I love how happy this man is when he's eating! That OH WOW! Gets me every time and makes me smile!! Lol
I can say this after never eating at Willie Mae's, it is some of the best-looking fried chicken I have ever seen. One day I may take a trip to Nola for a nice food journey Thank you Mark.
Yay! He went to Willie Mae's! Mark you made me so proud to be a New Orleanian!!! NOLA in the building!!! I've used to live around the corner from the restaurant!
This is the type of restaurant I like. Just delicious food without fanfare. Hope you will continue along this line...featuring authentic restaurants. I love it and you are right about the way the skin sticks to the flesh allowing every bite and not just the first to taste equally delicious.
I remember when I came down to NO for a saint game and this was my #1 place i wanted to visit on my list, and it did not disappoint! It is on a different level, the food, the hospitality was amazing!
This man loves food! He is genuinely excited and happy to be doing what he loves, eating good food. I believe he couldn't tell you what his favorite food is, he probably couldn't settle on one. Enjoy Mark, enjoy your fantastic meals.
I will never loose weight! Every time that I’m hungry, I end up watching one of Mark’s videos. If I’m ever in New Orleans I’m trying this fried chicken.
ok for those who dont, here a quick guide- Step 1- this usually includes picking up the food, whether you use a fork, spoon or your hands depends on you. Step 2- insert the food into your mouth and chew until it is completely broken down. Step 3- Swallow. Hope this helps for those who, unlike this ''brother'', dont know how to eat!!
This is the type of restaurant I like. Just delicious food without fanfare. There was one in Boston that Mark showed...with fresh oysters. Hope you will continue along this line...featuring authentic restaurants. I love it and you are right about the way the skin sticks to the flesh allowing every bite and not just the first to taste equally delicious.
10 Million Subscribers nearly Mark. (AMAZING!) It's not surprising with your original video's on the way you describe what you are eating on foods. Well done.
Thank you for supporting and highlighting black own businesses!!! Watching you demolish that fried chicken 🍗 and the turkey wing from your other video makes me so HUNGRY 😋😂 I DEFINITELY WILL TRY WHEN I VISIT LOUISIANA THANK YOU AGAIN!!! 😊
And when I saw the name Willie Mae, I knew that Chicken was gonna be kicking. And somebody nominated it, because it had to be good to get the James Beard award. I know where to go when I visit Louisiana! And I want to try the white beans and rice also, because I’ve never had that!
youtube.com/@tjmillionairementor There you go if that's what you want. He convenes with a great variety of businessmen and women. You need only pay attention to your CEOs and Entrepreneurs, instead of your entertainers.
Mark always comes with the best energy and enthusiasm when it comes to food. That’s one reason why it’s a joy to watch him eat and review food from all over the world. Keep doing what ya doing Mr. Wein.❤😊
I used to make fun of Mark for the faces he would make when eating. That was before I actually started watching his episodes and seeing the respect he has for the people/cultures/places he travels to. This guy really is awesome.
As someone who prides themselves on making good fried chicken I have to say that looks amazing! 🤤 The color, the texture, the crunch! 😩. I think I know what I’m making tomorrow.
Looks like really amazing chicken. I dont know how much we Thank You Mark for giving us a smile always and also the feeling that we are eating the same food. Keep up the great work and stay blessed with your family.
Looks delicious Mark!! Your infectious smile and happy attitude is wonderful to watch. Love love love the ‘WOW’ comments and the detailed description of each dish you eat. Love it!!
There’s something about fried chicken that you can almost never get it wrong. Always a safe choice 😍. The fact that this is the best fried chicken place in America makes it even better. Can’t wait for my America food tour 😊
Just came across Mark's channels and he's so enjoyable to watch. The love for food he has leaps across the screen. Hope I get a chance to visit this place. Food looks amazing
Thank you Mark for sharing this amazing food tour experience. The fried chicken was cooked professionally and the sides were incredible. I love this amazing place.
Anyone else taking a bite each time Mark does or is that just me. The fried Chicken looks fantastic as with the green beans and rice. Damit I wish I were there !
Wow did Mark just say 15 dollars a plate??????? 😳...... I just spent 22 dollars at Five Guys!! I mean it was alright but I would pay 25 bucks for 3 pieces of that fried chicken and two soul food sides!! Man oh man that looks so good!!
Loving this episode Mark but your excitement for the fried chicken made me seriously hangry 🥵👍🏽 And I greatly appreciate how you “cleaned” those chicken bones Mark. Respect ✊🏾
Of all the great food cities in the U.S., New Orleans is at the very top. 👍 I’ve been to Willie Mae’s. Excellent chicken although my favorite is *Mama Dip’s* in Chapel Hill, NC. 😀
This video actually made me mad it looked so good I honestly feel like flying from California to taste it I love fried chicken I’m jealous safe travels keep the videos coming great content
Mark, may I say your introduction to a restaurant with an AMAZING HISTORY....and a way to HONOR a Family of MANY Years, makes it more than likely people ( like me ) will be going there. First of all, Fried Chicken! Who the heck doesn't consider this food something they are going to want to establish as the place to go for the BEST of a particular dish? I am planning journeys for 2023 and Willie Mae's is NOW a place I will be making a journey during the summer. THANK YOU!
I had plenty of sushi tonight and so satisfied of them but turned out I’m craving for deep fried chicken so bad because of Mark!!😂Hopefully for tomorrow lunch I’ll have some yummy chicken!💕

Yay! He went to Willie Mae's! Mark you made me so proud to be a New Orleanian!!! NOLA in the building!!! I've used to live around the corner from the restaurant!
Hello from Tokyo Japan ❤️😊
My fav TH-cam video right now no lie th-cam.com/video/cvs9q-RAg64/w-d-xo.html ]]]
Mark has to be the nicest and coolest dude on the planet, and man, he can sure eat. No one appreciates food more than him. Great video as always.
Agree :)
Mark is my stamp of approval when it to food and places to eat! Always watching to discover new cultures and places! Well done 👍🏾
When the juices dripped down the chin and you cleaned the bone,. Thank you Mark for this episode.❤
Yes Ms Shauni
I agree. I ate at Willie Mae’s probably 6 - 7 years ago, and I was in heaven. I’ve never had better chicken.
Im going get Willie Mae’s for lunch tomorrow. Glad youre down here trying our food Mark.
I'm from New Orleans, but I live iin California now. I'm so jealous.
Oh I envy! Express ship to Washington, DC please! 🍗🍗🍗🍗😁😁😁
Super jealous 😭
Lucky you..
Trying to incite jealousy
This is the type of restaurant I like. Just delicious food without fanfare. Hope you will continue along this line...featuring authentic restaurants. I love it and you are right about the way the skin sticks to the flesh allowing every bite and not just the first to taste equally delicious.
Mark Wiens, Food Engineer Extraordinaire - just his description of the food texture, taste, and how he tucks into food....legendary!
I remember when I came down to NO for a saint game and this was my #1 place i wanted to visit on my list, and it did not disappoint! It is on a different level, the food, the hospitality was amazing!
I just love Mark's diversity, how he appreciates all region's of food.... He is the man🤗 when it comes to mukbangs and food vlogging 💯🤞🏾❤️🔥
This man loves food! He is genuinely excited and happy to be doing what he loves, eating good food. I believe he couldn't tell you what his favorite food is, he probably couldn't settle on one. Enjoy Mark, enjoy your fantastic meals.
I will never loose weight! Every time that I’m hungry, I end up watching one of Mark’s videos. If I’m ever in New Orleans I’m trying this fried chicken.
Lose
Can I tell you 😋
This "brother" knows how to eat. Mark Wiens appreciates the Art of eating good food from many different Cultures.
Lol what
Well most of it is just cheap fast food
ok for those who dont, here a quick guide-
Step 1- this usually includes picking up the food, whether you use a fork, spoon or your hands depends on you.
Step 2- insert the food into your mouth and chew until it is completely broken down.
Step 3- Swallow.
Hope this helps for those who, unlike this ''brother'', dont know how to eat!!
This is the type of restaurant I like. Just delicious food without fanfare. There was one in Boston that Mark showed...with fresh oysters. Hope you will continue along this line...featuring authentic restaurants. I love it and you are right about the way the skin sticks to the flesh allowing every bite and not just the first to taste equally delicious.
10 Million Subscribers nearly Mark. (AMAZING!) It's not surprising with your original video's on the way you describe what you are eating on foods. Well done.
Hi Mark. Iam from Kerala , India. I like very much your presentation style. Thanks to Mark and entire team.also to your kid
I'm also a kerealite and love ur video
Thank you for supporting and highlighting black own businesses!!! Watching you demolish that fried chicken 🍗 and the turkey wing from your other video makes me so HUNGRY 😋😂 I DEFINITELY WILL TRY WHEN I VISIT LOUISIANA THANK YOU AGAIN!!! 😊
And when I saw the name Willie Mae, I knew that Chicken was gonna be kicking. And somebody nominated it, because it had to be good to get the James Beard award. I know where to go when I visit Louisiana! And I want to try the white beans and rice also, because I’ve never had that!
*_Keep it up, Best of luck_*

There you go if that's what you want. He convenes with a great variety of businessmen and women. You need only pay attention to your CEOs and Entrepreneurs, instead of your entertainers.
Respect you for staying fit while eating every nice foods in the world! Always enjoy watchin
Mark always comes with the best energy and enthusiasm when it comes to food. That’s one reason why it’s a joy to watch him eat and review food from all over the world. Keep doing what ya doing Mr. Wein.❤😊
I’ve been following you mark since 2016. Best Content maker. Crazy seeing how much your boy has grown💯 Love from Australia Newcastle ♥️✌🏽
Man 8.11 million subscribers congratulations Mark, I remember when you had a couple million.
I realized the other day been watching for like 5 years lol
An I am watching him from the days when he used to just upload short 2-3 minutes of street food clips.
Mark Weins is LITERALLY the emotion ' joy' manifested in the flesh. God bless him, his family and his camera crew
I used to make fun of Mark for the faces he would make when eating. That was before I actually started watching his episodes and seeing the respect he has for the people/cultures/places he travels to. This guy really is awesome.
He shows the enthusiasm and joy as he is getting ready to eat. I mean who wouldn't.
I can’t He said “I’m gunna be dreamin about the crispy-juiciness for ever” 😂😭
You beat me to the comment! “I’m gonna be dreaming about the crispy juiciness forever!” 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Pencil Neck
It's called fake over excitement
@@matteobingin Mark has made millions not working for a living and over exaggerating.
As someone who prides themselves on making good fried chicken I have to say that looks amazing! 🤤 The color, the texture, the crunch! 😩. I think I know what I’m making tomorrow.
do you know how to make it this way? my breading slides off with the skin, is it because it's not batter?
Think they use 2 different frying temp 325 for initial temp then 375 for final may be wrong but also looked like buttermilk
That color is AWFUL......I like my chicken fried GOLDEN BROWN, not DARK BROWN.
Try Mchardy on north broad st way better
It’s a matter of personal taste.. who’s to say who has the best fried chicken!
Only Mark can get away with saying "shooting juices on my chin"😂
😹😹😹 omg
Pause :)
@@joebroadbeef332 was going to be my original comment, but not many will understand 😂
Mark says a lot of suspect things 😂😂😂😂
Wrong as a man 🤣
I love how Mark loves food and shares with us food from. Around the world ❤love you for all you do.
Looks like really amazing chicken. I dont know how much we Thank You Mark for giving us a smile always and also the feeling that we are eating the same food. Keep up the great work and stay blessed with your family.
Mark's excitement for fried chicken is the attitude i aspire for when waking in the morning.
When Mark does his “Mac and Me” face after the first bite, you know the fried chicken is really good! 🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
th-cam.com/video/3cAWqgdiRho/w-d-xo.html 💕🤧
Mac and me face... now that's funny
I googled mac and me as soon as the first image popped up I started laughing haha
@@GOREDO5 🤣😂🤣
" So Much HEART and So Much Meaning". I have LOVED every minute of this video! Can hardly wait to go to Willie Mae's!
I’m so hungry when I watch your videos mark 🤤
I guarantee he needed a nap after that!!! Mark: Ying, let's take the rest of the day off. Ying: WHAT????
I literally go to New Orleans for a weekend just to have this. The best fried chicken ever! My favorite restaurant ever
I need to do so, only an hour or so drive from my house.
@bocoy noiu u~uu88
Looks delicious Mark!! Your infectious smile and happy attitude is wonderful to watch. Love love love the ‘WOW’ comments and the detailed description of each dish you eat. Love it!!
There’s something about fried chicken that you can almost never get it wrong. Always a safe choice 😍. The fact that this is the best fried chicken place in America makes it even better. Can’t wait for my America food tour 😊
Because u haven't try best chicken of lawrence Massachusetts 334 lowell st in lawrence mass
Oh you can mess up fried chicken lol. I went to KFC once and it was literally inedible.
Don't really know if it's the best fried chicken in America, but If Mark says it's good, I'll take his word
OH YOU CAN GET IT WRONG
th-cam.com/video/QDml5bRtr1A/w-d-xo.html
He is making me smile so much as if I'm tasting the food. 😊
Just came across Mark's channels and he's so enjoyable to watch. The love for food he has leaps across the screen. Hope I get a chance to visit this place. Food looks amazing
I happen to run into his channel as well. Glad I did. He is very entertaining and make the food look scrumptious 🍗👌🏽
Mark needs his own TV show!
You are that type of guy that are allways happy and allways smiling 😃
Thank you Mark for sharing this amazing food tour experience. The fried chicken was cooked professionally and the sides were incredible. I love this amazing place.
It’s amazing that Mark can maintain his enthusiasm for eating when he literally does it everyday.
Lol that's proper dumb
He's acting and evidently you believe his bullshit. He laughs all the way to the bank to the tune of 4.7 million dollars.
@@Resmith18SR let him laugh to the bank maybe you could as well if you weren't consumed with hating!!!
@@mrace9836 Are you called MrAce or more rightfully MrAceKisser?
@@mrace9836 Let me guess MrAce, you also never had a real job and worked for a living to earn money like your idol Mark Wiens?
Lived in New Orleans for 4.5 years and I'm kicking myself now that in all that time not once did I go to Willie Mae's - unforgivable!
I've lived there my whole life, still haven't been there. Smh
@@kerrytaylor8965
I was born and raised there and never heard of it until I moved away and started watching food shows.
The food in New Orleans is just phenomenal. So much history and love goes into everything they cook. That fried chicken looks insanely delicious! 😋
I have to say this. This guy has an appetite!!! The enthusiasm with which he eats food is just amazing.
I love how Mica is taking after Mark by jumping in the shot!!! 🥰
Anyone else taking a bite each time Mark does or is that just me. The fried Chicken looks fantastic as with the green beans and rice. Damit I wish I were there !
Every time he takes a bite of anything which usually anything he orders looks amazing, my mouth waters! LMFAO 😜 😆 😅 😂 🤣
I'm hungry!
😂😂😂🤾🏾♂️
We have all seen Myka grow up so much. Time flies so fast. God bless you and family.
Wow did Mark just say 15 dollars a plate??????? 😳...... I just spent 22 dollars at Five Guys!! I mean it was alright but I would pay 25 bucks for 3 pieces of that fried chicken and two soul food sides!! Man oh man that looks so good!!
So would I!!! 😋🍗😋🍗
@oiuet souiu I believe he grew up in the Congo or somewhere else in East Africa.
@@jon-snow-GOT yes I believe he graduated from high school in Kenya
Willie Mae’s was DELICIOUS when I went there 2 years ago.
I never knew watching someone eat could be so enjoyable. Dang!!!
Mark just seem like a genuine person. Love his videos.
This fried chicken is the truth!! From SC and I got to visit. Extremely amazing. Best I’ve had.
14:48 no wayyy micah has grown up so much brb crying😭🥺
Loving this episode Mark but your excitement for the fried chicken made me seriously hangry 🥵👍🏽
And I greatly appreciate how you “cleaned” those chicken bones Mark. Respect ✊🏾
His excitement is why I watched the video enjoyed it very much
Mark is just so optimistic 24/7 that it's contagious!
Of all the great food cities in the U.S., New Orleans is at the very top. 👍 I’ve been to Willie Mae’s. Excellent chicken although my favorite is *Mama Dip’s* in Chapel Hill, NC. 😀
One of my 5 bucket list food crawl cities!
@@DelcR007 What are the others on your list?
Rudys Fried Chicken in Dallas Texas is the bestes.
Rudys Fried Chicken is the bestes in Dallas Texas
Chicken so good, you had to tell us twice.
I've finally been somewhere that Mark has been to! 😁😁😁 that chicken was the bomb.
This video actually made me mad it looked so good I honestly feel like flying from California to taste it I love fried chicken I’m jealous safe travels keep the videos coming great content
Do it! I do hahah and i never regret it. Seriously it’s the best I’ve ever had.
Wrong state bro
@@atlis3294 how can you tell him what state he’s from ? 😂
I’m from California also me and my girlfriend have flown over three times just to go eat there
Mark, may I say your introduction to a restaurant with an AMAZING HISTORY....and a way to HONOR a Family of MANY Years, makes it more than likely people ( like me ) will be going there. First of all, Fried Chicken! Who the heck doesn't consider this food something they are going to want to establish as the place to go for the BEST of a particular dish? I am planning journeys for 2023 and Willie Mae's is NOW a place I will be making a journey during the summer. THANK YOU!
I had plenty of sushi tonight and so satisfied of them but turned out I’m craving for deep fried chicken so bad because of Mark!!😂Hopefully for tomorrow lunch I’ll have some yummy chicken!💕
