Catfish, chicken, and the greens. We sell a lot of catfish and greens and peach cobbler. Those are our main sellers. We cook chicken all day, fish all day, greens all day, mac and cheese all day.
Do you have peach cobbler all year round?
Everyday. We have a guy. He makes it. So it's homemade. I don't know if you've had our sweet potato pies. He makes those too. They go fast like around Thanksgiving and Christmas, we're ordering them like 100, 200, 300, and we still sell out.
People come from Renton, Kent, Federal Way, Redmond, and they're like, "I drove all the way over here just for this fish, or just for this peach cobbler." I'm just like, "Dang, you guys travel all the way. I guess it's good right?"
