Description

Soul Food OdysseyIn the introduction to Soul Food Odyssey, Chef Stephanie Tyson describes her early feelings when people assumed her Sweet Potatoes restaurant was a "soul food" establishment. "Soul food was like the boxer George Foreman," she says. "He would stand there and go toe to toe. It wasn't pretty, but he got the job done, and you'd be on your butt. Southern food, on the other hand, was like Muhammad Ali a little prettier, and you'd still be on your butt I

In the introduction to Soul Food Odyssey, Chef Stephanie Tyson describes her early feelings when people assumed her Sweet Potatoes restaurant was a "soul food" establishment. "Soul food was like the boxer George Foreman," she says. "He would stand there and go toe-to-toe. It wasn't pretty, but he got the job done, and you'd be on your butt. Southern food, on the other hand, was like Muhammad Ali--a little prettier, and you'd still be on your butt I wanted Ali. I missed the connection that they were both great fighters. Once I got off my high horse, I wanted to know, from a culinary point of view, how do you make what is essentially castaway food into a 'cuisine'?" In Soul Food Odyssey, Tyson takes readers along on her journey back to find the food her grandmother called "sumntaeat." The recipes she shares include how to cook various parts of the pig from "the router to the tooter"; other meat dishes, including everything from stewed turkey wings and pot roast to a Low Country boil; what Tyson calls "stone soul sides," including crackling cornbread, hoecakes, and, of course, different kinds of greens; soups and stews including oxtail and fish head stew and "Everything in It Vegetable Soup"; and desserts "to sell your soul for." Along with the recipes come Tyson's comments, which reflect her biting wit as well as her deep appreciation of the food she has come to embrace.

Stephanie L. Tyson is a creative chef who has turned growing up in the South into the soul of her restaurant, Sweet Potatoes. Born in North Carolina, Tyson spent countless hours dreaming of the bright lights of anywhere else. But once she left to travel and cook around the world, she could not believe what a relief it was to come home again. Trained in culinary arts at Baltimore International College, Chef Tyson opened her award-winning restaurant with her partner, Vivi n Joiner, in 2003 in the downtown Arts District of Winston-Salem, where they live.

Bully approved
If he wants something to gnaw on he will sit with it but he doesn't really play with it. Which is probably the point. It's lasted. The ends are the most chewed. Overall great for a chewer!

Surprisingly Durable
Color: Green
Our dog is an aggressive chewer. She has destroyed other toys meant for "aggressive chewers" in less that 6 hours. This toy has lasted 17 days and it's still going. It does have areas were the seam has given way and a very small amount of stuffing has come out. She has "killed" the squeaker. But the toy is still usable. We just played Tug of War this morning. It will not last forever. It is showing it's "age". But the durability is there. I am ordering more.

Durability and lasting period of toy.
Color: Green
I got this toy for our bulldog. He had a hole in it, which will only progress, within minutes. I took it away until I could find out if there is any kind of warranty. The information says this toy is not for aggressive chewers, yet right in the description and the photo of the toy (that way I knew I was looking at the correct toy), it says for the "aggressive chewer". I am disappointed that even though it isn't how they described, it only lasted minutes before there was damage. Not sure if I would buy another product.

Excellent toy for active dogs! Five ⭐️
Color: Green
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Toy for Active Dogs! This is my second time purchasing this toy, and it absolutely deserves five stars. My youngest dog, Captain, is a very active 3-year-old with more energy than I can keep up with. He loves being able to sink his teeth into this squeaky toy, and it helps keep him mentally stimulated and entertained. What I love most is that he also shares it with his older brother, Kane. They use it for tug-of-war, which helps burn off some of Captain’s endless energy and keeps both dogs engaged. It does a great job reducing boredom, especially for highly active dogs. The first one lasted several months before needing replacement, which is impressive considering how much it was used. If you have energetic dogs that need something durable and fun, I highly recommend this toy!
