Hi the val. Mill was a great old school down home video! Thanks for memories!!!!! Fr Ohio 26:40
Our pleasure! We are so glad you enjoyed it!
At 54 yrs young I grew up on chocolate gravy as a Saturday/ Sunday morning treat every Summer staying with my grandmother. We're from middle TN born and raised here and it's a classic Southern Heritage part of our lives. It was special❤
Yes indeed! Love hearing those stories about days with the grandparents. So special 😊
Food looks great and a petfect place to go. Chocolate gravy is an old timey, easy to make Southern dish. Usually, you pour the gravy over the biscuits like you do white peppered gravy. Also, look up tomato gravy online. It is also a Southern thing and very good. Tangy, but good. Nancy from Arkansas
We love tomato gravy ❤️. Owen’s is wonderful
One of my favorite videos so far!
Thank you for that!
I loved ❤ this video. My great grandfather worked in a grist mill. So I enjoyed seeing what he did. God bless all.❤ ✝️ ❤
Teresa that is awesome! So happy that it brought back good memories
We were raised on chocolate gravy and biscuits. I guess it must be a regional thing because here in Alabama, it’s easy to find. So glad y’all got to experience it! Love y’all! ❤️

Hi Guys - this was a Great video, Thank You. I Like a highlight on small business,!
Glad you enjoyed it! We love to show you the mom and pop places!
I was raised on chocolate gravy and biscuits. The way we had them was mama cooked a huge pan of biscuits and we split them open and buttered all of them right in the middle, then she cooked a great big pot of chocolate gravy and we would chop the biscuits up all over our plates and then pour that chocolate gravy all over them. We would have sausage or bacon or ham with them but I tell you sausage chopped up and sprinkled all over the top of that gravy really set it off from everything else. I raise my kids on it too and they still love it to this day. Everybody we knew ate chocolate gravy. At least on my daddy’s side of the family. And my daddy side of the family was all over the Holler that we lived in and in Summertown and Lawrenceburg which were the two cities adjoining, one on each side of us. Love your videos. God bless y’all.
Melissa that is so awesome! Love hearing memories of how people were raised! My mamaw made a pan of biscuits and fixed gravy every morning and the butter was always on the table. I miss sitting at that table. - Brooks
My grandmother would make chocolate gravy when i was young but hers was called Poor Do . They were so poor they made Do . Ours was not thick. She used butter, cocoa powder, sugar,and vanilla , made a roux... and thicken with flour but ours is a thin gravy. Pourable. The best for buiscuts and pancakes
Love that name. Sounds really good 😊
If I just hadn't eaten a beef and bean 🌯 for breakfast in these wee hours of the morning y'all would've made me hungry! Really enjoyed your video and thank you for taking me along with you! Those jams looked so yummy and delicious and the mill was really very interesting! I wish someone would bring me to Tennessee but, they won't! Please eat a biscuit for me when you make some! Love y'all and God Bless!❤️❤️
God bless you too! I will eat a biscuit just for you 😊. Thank you for watching!
@@SmokyMtFaithFoodFun thank you and you're welcome!
Christy i would love for you to try my Moms Chocolate dumplings they are awesome. Being from South Carolina this make the best chocolate gravy. We also call them chocolate rolls. We will be stopping to eat at Owen's this Thursday March 14th. I just love you and Brooks. Have a Blessed Day
We love you too! We know you are gonna love Owens! Such a great local place!
I was born and raised in East Tennessee and I feel a little deprived. I’ve never had chocolate gravy. 😂 I had never even heard of it until I was much older.
