In the feature, owner Tay Nelson spoke about his favorite dish to serve and eat for his family's Juneteenth celebrations: collard greens.

“My wife didn't grow up eating them, so it's a special day that we make them together, and I get my special treat of fresh greens seasoned simply with oil and Bobby's All-Purpose Seasoning,” Nelson told food Network, according to a news release. “If you want to make it extra yummy, throw some bacon or pulled pork in there too.”
