I said, "Yes, I do.

That's amazing! You didn't tell me.

Well, there's my stuff there.
[Toi] Is this the only option?
Well, yeah, that's my good suit.
I mean, it's fine,
but, baby, this is Atlanta. Fine won't do.
Sunday is the belle of the ball.
That makes you the beau of the belle of the ball

How about this?
Ah, that's not gonna work.
Don't knock it till you try it on. Sunday, help.

Oh.
It has black in it.
Yeah and white.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, good. All right, we gotta go.
We need to feed this man.
Uh, can't you just eat here? I'll order.
I just have a few more things I want to run by.
No, we have to meet some people.

Getting ready to be in a music video.
Well, Atlanta is all about the splash and flash.
It's just how we do it.
That is how some do it.
Now don't forget my cousin, Carroll,
he's just regular folk. Ain't no, no flash and splash about him.
We're all just regular folk.
Just some of us put a little extra on it.
I'm excited to see him.

It is beautiful.
Why was being a chef your calling?
Soul food.
Who doesn't love some good soul food?
Good soul food's like a religious experience, right?
Yes. Um, though, in my case,
my, my mother suffered from heart disease,
and like so many in our community who have lost loved ones,
or suffer from health issues because of unhealthy diets,

I want to thank y'all, I love y'all so much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And to Toi,
my dear friend,
thank you for all of your time, talent and tenacity.
Um, I am especially grateful to Chef Tanya Holland.
Because of her,
I'm able to share my heart and my soul food with all of you.
Thank you all and enjoy.
[all cheer and applaud]
[Tanya] Atlanta can be a tough town to crack,
but Sunday St. James has made VFC a city staple.
What Sunday is done with VFC
it's truly remarkable.
Embracing a Southern cuisine with a vegetarian menu is playing with fire,
but she has sparked a culinary revolution.
[Tanya] Sunday St. James is here with me today,
representing the next generation of exciting chefs
and she's sharing her delicious vegetarian cuisine
that she creates with heart and soul.
Wow! Tanya, thank you so much for having me on
and for creating this lane and opportunity.
You inspire me.
This is why I've done all the work that I've done all these years,
to make room for the next generation
of inspired and motivated and talented, young cooks.
Well, it's an honor to be receiving that.
[laughs] You're doing it and you deserve it.
What are we gonna make together?
I would love to make, um, some vegan "chicken".
-Oh! -Fried "chicken" inspired by
your famous fried chicken recipe.
All right, all right, well, you have to have the right spices.
-[Sunday] Oh, yes, definitely. -To begin with.
-[Sunday] We need the seasoning, okay. -Yeah.
And I'd also like to make it gluten-free as well.
-Like, you use a gluten-free flour -Rice flour.
-Mm-hmm. -Yes and a really clean oil to fry it in.
Yeah, but I trust you. You have a great palette. I'm so proud of you.
[Sunday] Thank you.
Sunday and I have known each other since high school,
and I drove all the way from New Orleans
to see what all the fuss was about for myself,
and I got to tell you, everything was just perfect, everything.
Uh, you know and I'm not even a vegetarian,
but now, I can see how I could be.
And,
you know, Sunday didn't disappoint, but
then again, she never does.
Now, get your butts down to VFC
and get yourself the best bowl of gumbo you've ever had in your life.
Thank you for watching Tanya's Kitchen Table.
Bon Appetit.

You know, I was excited
to see you up there on the screen and to see how happy you were,
but I didn't know you were still doing business with your ex.
-Hosea? -[Ellis] Yeah.
Hosea.
Well, he...
He, um,
connected me with an investor.
You know how much I've been dreaming about opening a second spot.
I didn't know you were dreaming about it with him.
Ellis, it's just business.
Does he know that?
Look,
we were together,
and now we're friends.
Just like you and Anastasia.
So, you have to make room for my friends, like I make room for yours.
[sighs deeply]
You know, when I'm happy or when I have, uh,
good news or bad news, whatever it is,
you're the first person I want to share it with.
When I have dreams,
you're there.
You're a part of it.
I want to be a part of your dreams too.
But,
it seems like
Hosea
knows more about your life than I do.
Oh, no.
Ellis.
When I'm with you,
I get a break from all that stuff.
You're my safe space, my comfort.
Business is business, it's not private, it's not intimate.
You know, Hosea set up a meeting, so what?
He doesn't know about my dad and how bad it is,
or how...
I gotta put this whole second location thing on hold,
until I figure out what's going on with him.
I share things with you that I don't share with anybody else
because I can tell you anything.
So, yeah, he knows about business,
but you, you get me.
I love you.
I love you too.
