![]() Every weekend was a history lesson in Southern food.” “Going to see my grandparents,” he says, “was like going back 50 years. He is 34 years old.Īnd why shouldn’t he do Soul Food? Florence grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, in a culture he describes as “suburban skateboard.” But his culinary yearnings went on past the asphalt and into the rural South-to his maternal grandmother’s kitchen garden near High Point, North Carolina (a region known for laying splendid tables), for instance, or to his paternal grandfather’s smokehouse near Lincolnton, Georgia. He has written two cookbooks, Tyler Florence’s Real Kitchen and Eat This Book, and is poised to close a deal on a restaurant in lower Manhattan. His next Food Network series (details on ice pending a formal launch) is in pre-production. Employed by the Food Network full-time since 1999, Florence has, to his credit, 300 episodes of Food 911 36 episodes of a globetrotting series called Tyler’s Ultimate and four seasons hosting the show How to Boil Water. If the construct seems skewed, no one seems to care-certainly not Tyler Florence.Ī South Carolina native and rising media star, Tyler Florence (the subtly insistent double trochée in his name, TY-ler FLOR-ence, suggests the Southern patrician), has plenty of cause for confidence. ![]() The woman, who’s learning to cook it, is black. You’re watching Food 911, Tyler Florence’s no-nonsense, to-the-rescue Food Network series. “It’s Tiffany,” Diana remarks, to which Florence replies, “That may be a Tiffany bracelet, but this is gonna be a Gucci fried chicken.” “I hate it when that happens,” Florence says. “Know how much this manicure cost?” she asks, adding, “Look, now the flour’s getting all in my bracelet.” At Florence’s urging, Diana dips brined, floured chicken parts into buttermilk, then back into seasoned flour. Standing by with a bowl of flour, Florence prompts Diana through a regimen of flavoring agents designed to punch up the breading’s impact-onion and garlic powders, paprika, black pepper. The woman, whose name is Diana, says her breading “won’t stick.” Says she takes grief from her church group about her cooking. 3r.Tyler Florence is teaching a woman to fry chicken. Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Plut. deus est mortali iuvare mortalem, et haec ad aeternam gloriam via. Quamobrem maior caelitum populus etiam quam hominum intellegi potest, cum singuli quoque ex semetipsis totidem deos faciant Iunones Geniosque adoptando sibi, gentes vero quaedam animalia et aliqua etiam obscena pro dis habeant ac multa dictu magis pudenda, per fetidos cibos et alia similia iurantes. matrimonia quidem inter deos credi tantoque aevo ex eis neminem nasci, et alios esse grandaevos semper canosque, alios iuvenes atque pueros, atricolores, aligeros, claudos, ovo editos et alternis diebus viventes morientesque, puerilium prope deliramentorum est sed super omnem inpudentiam adulteria inter ipsos fingi, mox iurgia et odia, atque etiam furtorum esse et scelerum numina. “God” is a person helping another person this is the path to eternal fame.” ![]() But it is beyond every kind of shame to imagine adultery among them, then strife and hatred, and that there are powers of thieves and criminals. Indeed, some peoples have animals, even horrible ones, for gods and many others too shameful to report, such as swearing by rotten food or other similar things.īelieving in marriage among the gods but without anyone being born from them for such a great span of time or that some are always old and graying while others are eternally young even children, or that some gods are dark-colored, winged, crippled born from eggs, or dying and living on alternating days, these beliefs are like childhood delusions. “This is the reason it is possible to estimate a greater number of divinities than there are humans: individuals make a number of gods equal to their number by adopting their own Junos and Genii. Pliny the Elder, Natural History 2.5 16–18
