- 0:21Speaker 1: How are you?
- 0:21Speaker 4: I am doing good.
- 0:23Speaker 1: How about yourself?
- 0:25Speaker 3: Well, I'm doing pretty good. Glad to get you on
- 0:27Speaker 3: the phone. I hear you just been in the kitchen
- 0:29Speaker 3: cutting up because we can't get you on the phone.
- 0:32Speaker 5: Listen, somebody got to feed these hungry, amazing people out here.
- 0:36Speaker 1: So it might as well be me. But you know,
- 0:38Speaker 1: I got, listen, I had to step away from the
- 0:41Speaker 1: stove to jump over here in the skillet with you
- 0:43Speaker 1: because I already know you're cooking up something good today.
- 0:47Speaker 3: You know, I am a chef. You know, let me
- 0:48Speaker 3: tell you something like in the movie, you know, chef
- 0:51Speaker 3: don't burn no chicken. So don't you burn that chicken?
- 0:54Speaker 1: You better believe it because we pressure fried this sweet
- 0:57Speaker 1: pea brine over here. I know, that's right.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Listen, we are so excited that you are going to
- 1:03Speaker 3: be joining us again on the One Voyage Cruise this year, 2026.
- 1:06Speaker 3: And I understand you were taking over the test kitchen
- 1:09Speaker 3: aboard the ship again because, you know, you had some
- 1:11Speaker 3: food last year that had me gain about 12 pounds,
- 1:14Speaker 3: and I'm not mad about it. What you got planned
- 1:16Speaker 3: for us this year?
- 1:17Speaker 4: Listen, as always, we're throwing down, and this is my
- 1:22Speaker 4: 10th year being a part of this amazing voice celebrating
- 1:26Speaker 4: and helping HBCUs.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I'm an HBCU alum myself.
- 1:31Speaker 4: I'm bringing cornbread and butter to my restaurant. I'm bringing
- 1:34Speaker 4: it aboard the resilient lady. And we're taking over the
- 1:38Speaker 4: Ted's Kitchen and transforming it to cornbread and butter at sea.
- 1:41Speaker 4: So the stuff that they experience when they come to
- 1:45Speaker 4: the restaurant now, regardless of where you.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Are, you're going to get it out in the middle
- 1:48Speaker 1: of the ocean with us.
- 1:49Speaker 5: I'm talking about short ribs, sweet potatoes, collard greens, baby,
- 1:54Speaker 5: honey buttermilk, cornbread, and that sweet tea brine pressure fried
- 1:58Speaker 5: chicken all day long.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness. I may as well go ahead and
- 2:02Speaker 3: buy some clothes, two sizes too big, because I know
- 2:06Speaker 3: by the time it's all said and done, but it's
- 2:08Speaker 3: going to be well worth it because I know butter
- 2:09Speaker 3: makes everything better.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Listen, the key is when you eat, as I always
- 2:14Speaker 1: tell people, you got to eat with a fork to
- 2:16Speaker 1: see all the calories fall through the crack then. Oh,
- 2:21Speaker 1: look at you.
- 2:22Speaker 3: Dropping knowledge and butter.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I love it.
- 2:26Speaker 3: You know, I just, you know, just to have been
- 2:29Speaker 3: part of the cruise for so many years. Tell me
- 2:33Speaker 3: some of the highlights that you have experienced in the
- 2:35Speaker 3: past and maybe some things that you're looking forward to
- 2:37Speaker 3: for this upcoming cruise.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Oh, man, over the course of the years, I've experienced
- 2:43Speaker 4: so much. But one of the things I want to say,
- 2:45Speaker 4: with the roster of talent that is curated on one
- 2:51Speaker 4: boat out in the middle.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Of the ocean, it's phenomenal.
- 2:54Speaker 4: I've had the honor of seeing Stevie Wonder perform, Babyface.
- 3:00Speaker 1: You name it. The Isley brothers. Frankie Beverly and May.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Charlie Wilson. The list goes on and on. It gets
- 3:09Speaker 1: better and better every year. This is the 25th year.

- 3:34Speaker 3: tell you, I'm going to go ahead and give you
- 3:35Speaker 3: a heads up. It's going to be a lot of dancing.
- 3:37Speaker 3: People are going to be up all night. And you
- 3:39Speaker 3: know what happens when we feel like that? We want

- 3:45Speaker 1: And we're right there. Listen, the ship has over 20
- 3:49Speaker 1: restaurants to choose from. Even when you can come eat
- 3:53Speaker 1: at Cornbread and Butter today, and by night you're dining
- 3:56Speaker 1: at the Razzle or the Wake or one of those
- 3:58Speaker 1: because we got some amazing food out there. Listen, we
- 4:01Speaker 1: even got seafood balls on the ship this year. That's
- 4:04Speaker 1: how I go with that.
