my Hearts what's your favorite thing that you get from you over here honey butter biscuit got to get that honey butter biscuit why not whisk why not rich all man Frost his his all man Frost where did you come up with the all man Frost man slogan okay so all man Frost man came from this was used to go down and I was selling food out the crab right my now 6-year-old was like 3 years old he two years old maybe he just started like running running around the crib while I was cooking right so I used to Hype him up every time I pull a platter out to put on Instagram I used to be like SL Dean SL look what we have here right so then after he started going to daycare I didn't have salahudin to talk to no more so I started talking to myself right and I used to go and I was like what can I do like how can I make this work it was like cuz he was part of the gimmick so like D look what we got here so he be like oh man Frost man what the hell's going on here so me talking to myself and then it turned into like a slogan all man Frost man t-shirts coming soon too no real rap honey butter biscuit why not brisket t-shirts coming real soon y y y this whole office everybody they all order from me down there they've been I've been messing with them for years yep so this is where we at right my little sign now I'm getting the real sign eventually but it's going to be this my daughter designed this right my daughter my second oldest daughter is a um is a cartoonist and a graphic designer so she does all my Logos my t-shirts my uh Frosty lemonade labels all that so she hit this sign when I when I can afford it and get enough money and going get a real sign stretched all the way across you know what I'm saying and this is where we at so we on 5601 AR street right and I'm going to show youall this because some people get it confused with my main store I'm going show you show you the angle on that all right so this is the entrance to Soul by the SE 5601 Art Street same building my entrance is down there the takeout window all right and don't forget when you spend $20 honey butter biscuit I'm sorry when you spend $20 on breakfast you get fre free honey but biscuits so one not risk spend that 20 bring me that money for that bar people can only absorb so much music from you like as far as like hey look at me I rap I rap I rap I'm dope I'm hotter than such and suchu so I started doing cooking videos and pictures and it was just be stuff that I would cook for me and my kids right and um then eventually I did Frost cook TV where I had freeway PD crack sha p uh Smith and Wesson bunch of different rappers over the crib right on on different episodes um Malik B when Malik B was running with me when he was still alive man Allah have mercy on him and um it turned into people wanting to see me cook more and more right so I did more videos right and then people kept pressing me to buy food so I started selling food you know what I mean it was another form of income I realized I can make some money off of it and it started to work y you do a lot for the community too man like Ramadan it's you the whole Community all right so I'm going to tell you how that started right the way how that started I actually started off a friend of mine's named dear he just passed away um so what happened with dear right we went to high school together he was coming to buy food off me this is back in like 2016 and he said Frost you ever think about feeding a homeless um because I I do a homeless I I run a homeless shelter I'm the director so I was like yeah but honestly bro like I can't afford to feed him myself but what I'll do is I'll put on my Instagram and Facebook and ask people if they interested in donating to feed the Homeless so people started doing that right so then after that that first Ramadan that I was feeding the homeless I offer Muslims the chance to feed other fasting Muslims cuz in our religion it's a specific reward for a Muslim who feeds a FAS and Muslim so when you a Muslim and you feed a fasting Muslim you get the reward that Allah gives them for their fast you get their blessings without them losing it so you get your blessings and you get their blessings so people was like yeah I I want to donate to feed Muslims and then also some Muslims can't fast cuz they have health conditions right so you have to feed a certain amount of people when you can't fast as a Muslim so that allowed me to be a go between for people who wanted blessings for people who actually just couldn't fast so yeah so and then it I was doing it every year so it started with me feeding the homeless a lot of people was criticizing me on my Instagram and Tik Tok like yo why you only feeding Muslims there's homeless people out here and it's like yo I've been feeding the the homeless since before um I think even before Instagram like you know what I'm saying so yeah got some of your signature items here all right so we got we got the honey butter biscuits why not risk it of course that's what everybody be coming here for let me try this out let me try this out this thing is Thing feel lovely in the hands keep it real you got me nice just CU I'm right here that's amazing sweet Savory everything breakfast and brunch is all about that thing popping Frost Dam this has like a nice moisture to it you know what I mean well I love it it's two different tastes that it has right yeah when you first get it out the oven it's incredible right but when I sit it right here to keep it hot this is a steamer so what I had to learn I was over I was keeping I had to turn it down sometimes make it too doughy yeah like yo my biscuit was gr was like damn what am I doing so I turn the steamer down to give you that that taste right there that you get this thing is incredible yo is that extra honey Perfect come get you some buy a whole pan of this he brings three pans every day buy a pan have them run back to the crib make more we also got my fish and Gritz signature then I got something called a super surfing Turf right the super surfing Turf is cheesy grits right a big pan see them see them pans up there a big pan in them cheesy grits right it's a big pan in them and the super surf has like a 16 a 14 to 16 oce Hala rib steak um 10 extra large shrimp the big joints the 1620s uh two pieces of nice size fried fish right and a really heavy cheesy omelet so that's the super surf and surf right A lot of people they come out for that and Fish and Grits like I mentioned you know what fish and grits is and then I got the Halal steak egg and cheese on a garlicky buttery Bagel people love that people love that right there they love it so that's I'm going whip up for you I'm going whip up that's it you want to get into that W Frost man hold on I got to I got to get you let us know hold up hold up I got to get you what's your advice for young entrepreneurs how to come up consistency consistency and stop worrying about oh my family no support my friend stop stop with all that see because the whole thing is right if your product is really good your family and friends everybody going to support so the first thing you got to do is you got to perfect your product to the best of your ability right and after that right what you got to do is you got to be consistent see it's been days I only made $50 but guess what at the end of the month when you got five kids and you got bills and you do everything when own single dad and all that listen man all them little $50 $100 and all that stuff add up you got to be consistent man and stop and and you also got to know how to take criticism like if somebody say they don't like your stuff I don't care if it's your t-shirt line if it's your um your food your RS your music whatever yo everything ain't for everybody bro and when you doing stuff for the public you open yourself up to get criticized so be ready for the critic SYM I done had people say crazy stuff about my food I'm talking about bad and then I had people get online and argue with them like you don't know what you talking about about like I had somebody say that my food was hit or miss depending on who was cooking right they said depending on who's in the back I'm the only one that cook so it's like oh bad Frost man you know you just got to just um you just got to just be consistent and you got to be prepared to take criticism and recognize that some people want to tear you down and some people want to make you better like if you notice something didn't go like yesterday I was rushing really bad right I had so many tickets like so many tickets right and I had ran out of grits and then more grits more grits I had to keep making grits right and mind you I'm working by myself right so I was really so I was backed up on time there was a few people waiting and I was like damn I got to get these people out of here right so at the end of the day I was a little self-conscious about the Grits right I called two customers just to make sure that they grits was what I wanted them to be like like what I would have wanted as a customer and so when I did that when the person was like No frost them Johns were straight I was like that I was like that so and these are oldfashioned grips to so when they said that it made me feel better but I didn't assume that yo my food is the best blah blah blah blah blah like you never hear me say that I always try to convince you to buy the food by giving you a nice stupid tricky slogan some presentation a little bit of Comedy but I never say I'm the best because I know with so many different people out out out here doing food that really isn't the best you know what I'm saying it's like like best is based on like um you know what your customer considers is the best well one person's best could be the other person's worse you know what I'm saying I wish I KN you was coming cuz I would have had her hair with her desserts cuz a lot of people ask me can they give me desserts like on consignment and on wholesale whatever and I only use my daughter's desserts you know what I'm saying because she's crazy with it so we're going to have like a daddy daughter big sell Saturday
