(upbeat music)
- Aw, yes, y'all.
What's good in your hood is what happens
when you combine ridiculously good food
with a personality that transforms an entire community.
And no one's doing it better in Watts
than Keith Garrett with All Flavor No Grease.
♫ I have a busy business, boy
(upbeat music)
♫ What's good in your neighborhood
♫ From the east to the west
♫ Showing nothing but the very best
♫ All Flavor no Grease
♫ Chef Keith making grub in these streets
♫ Following his dream
♫ No should or would or could
♫ Now that right there is what's good in your hood
♫ We out
Here we are, All Flavor No Grease.
We about to have some delicious quesadillas, here in Watts.
I'm pumped, let's get it.
They say change begins at home.
And for Keith Garrett,
that's exactly where his hustle was transformed.
Out of that transformation,
came quesadillas so good,
they feel like they've been hashtag blessed.
And the people can't get enough.
Mm, that's so good, I wanna wrap it up
and give it to myself for Christmas.
Oh, my God.
- All Flavor No Grease actually started from a dream.
I sincerely prayed about the situation
and before even the dream transpired,
I was actually a full time street pharmacist.
(Keith laughs) - Ah, street pharmacist.
- Yeah, better known as the weed man.
- [Host] Okay.
- A friend of mine came through
and he had got my last eighth of weed.
And he was like, "Settle down."
And he was like, "I got $150 in food stamps."
I'm like, "What the heck am I gonna do
"with some food stamps?" (laughs)
But then, the first thing I thought,
was like, alright, make something work.
A month later, I woke up in the middle of the night.
I got up, I said, "All Flavor No Grease?"
And I said, "What?"
So, I'm like, I'm gonna have some
of the most flavorful tacos
with the least grease as possible.
- What food item put you on the map?
- The quesadilla.
- [Host] His clever and charismatic approach
to Instagram has people coming in droves
to taste what all the hype is about.
- Hey, check this out, Mister Air 15, himself.
Yeah, we are open, 12:30,
pull up on the block, come and get your plate.
Only on the ocho though.
Hey, you hear me?
Get your steak, your shrimp, your barbecue chicken too.
(sign clacks)
My pops didn't even believe in the movement at first.
And that really hurted me to my core, it did.
- [Host] 108th Street, AKA, the ocho,
has become an oasis and a changing neighborhood.
And his delicious food has been
the catalyst for peace and unity.
But the road to be king of quesadillas
was never a smooth one.
- He was teased a lot, you know.
We didn't always have the best to put them in.
Their clothes were clean
but they weren't always the best, you know?
So, they would tease him.
But I am just so very proud of where he was
and where he is today.
- My pops didn't even believe in the movement at first.
And that really hurted me to my core, it did.
And the only thing I said,
from right here in this hallway,
I said, "I'm gonna show you, Pops, watch."
And I'm happy I'm able to show him.
Now, he's like, "Son, you did it."
Like, "I'm proud of you."
- You're making foods that are,
by and large, typically latino.
What do people say about that?
How do you feel about that?
- This guy from up north, he said, "You got it."
He said, "No matter what anybody say to you,
"you gotta keep going."
He said, "I respect it."
He said, "I came all the way from Oakland, fool.
"Just to try you."
- You got the stamp of approval
from the Hispanic community from this one dude.
(upbeat music)
Watts, a community haunted by inequality and unrest
is transitioning to a vibrant neighborhood
and Keith is at the center of this ship.
- My line, since day one,
has always been super diverse.
The whole cross section of LA and beyond, really.
You know, you can't say enough about Keith.
That's why the line is long.
The food is great and delicious
but it's nothing without Keith.
- The quesadilla flavors are like bomb.
And it's special, like, that's that God spice.
- Shall we pray, everyone?
We asked that the food be nourishing
to the body and pleasant to the soul.
And Lord, let's grub.
In Jesus name, thank God, amen.
- [All] Amen.
(upbeat music)
- Here we are in the No Flavor All Grease kitchen,
very few people come back here.
So, we are honored to be learning
how to make a quesadilla, Chef Keith style.
- So, we'll start off with our 12 in Diana shell.
Flour, that is.
Then, you start with the Colby Jack cheese.
Nice handful of it, big handful of it like this.
- Wow, the way you put your love
into the food is through your hands.
- Passion!
- We get the pico de gallo in there.
All the flavors already marinating, the heat.
- [Keith] Heaven nuggets.
- Wow.
The colors, the smells.
It's aromatic, it's beautiful.
- [Keith] You gotta get your slap.
(spatula smacks)
- It ain't right unless you slap it down.
- Now, my favorite part, the bust down.
- Oh, that's a big knife.
That's a signature move.
That changed the game.
- The most important part, plating.
♫ Ain't nothing like a drizzle, baby
♫ Ain't nothing like the drizzle
To us.
- To us, to bomb food, to you.
All flavor zero grease.
Coming up, the battle between me and Chef Keith,
right in the backyard.
All Flavor No Grease.
- [Announcer] All Flavor's finest.
(upbeat music)
- Here we are in the backyard
of All Flavor No Grease with Chef Keith.
And DJ Jswish on the ones and twos.
We're gonna have us a nice, little rap battle.
'Cause not only is he a master at Mexican food,
but he's a master MC.
And we're gonna test some bars out here.
(bell dings)
- [Video Game Announcer] Round one, fight.
♫ Yeah
- [Announcer] All Flavor's finest.
- [Woman] DJ Jswish, RJ on the beat.
♫ I'm from Brooklyn but now we in Watts
♫ I'm here at the food spot
♫ Here we are gettin' crazy
♫ Gonna be awhile, don't be lazy
♫ Teach the kids how to do it
♫ Pass it on, that's how we do it
♫ Freestyle off the top, here we go
♫ Not gonna stop even if I'm like oh no
♫ I'm gonna do it 'til I can't do it no more
♫ Here we are counting one bar, two bar, three bar, four
- Okay.
Okay.
♫ He did his stuff
♫ Yeah, he did his stuff
♫ Oh, yeah, yeah, he did his stuff
♫ Now I'm on camera
♫ Time to go right up, what
♫ I'm sitting there, put me on the grill
♫ I had to show you what's real
♫ You need another chicken, 'nother shrimp
♫ And then I grill it up
♫ And then I give it to you, pimp
♫ Huh, I know you really, really like that
♫ Sour cream and grease sauce
♫ Yeah, you like that
♫ He had to sop it up
♫ Right off the fingers though
♫ I think that's eight bars
♫ Yep, so it's time to go
- [Video Game Announcer] KO.
- That's why he who he is.
(laughs)
That's why he's famous on the 'Gram.
Keith is all about the we, instead of just me.
When he could be looking out for just himself,
he's bringing together a crew of south LA food slingers
calling themselves The Foodminati.
And they're killing the game together.
What's The Foodminati about?
- It's being 100, you gotta be 100, period.
If you not 100, then you're not in.
- There was one point and time, man,
I was gonna give up, you feel me?
'Cause it was a lot going on.
And I called my bro.
And bro told me the realist thing,
he was like, "You know what?
"Smokey, you got something, stick with it."
And him saying that,
it really lit a fire under my tail to say,
you know what, even though I'm broke,
I ain't got no bread, you feel me?
I don't know how I'm gonna make tomorrow work
but I'm gonna make tomorrow work.
- I seen a little video on Facebook
about my man, right here.
Like, 'cause I was following him, Grubby.
At the end of the video, like his last bar,
he was like, "Just get up and do it."
- Stop thinking about it.
Get up and go do it.
- The very next day, after I saw that video,
and I went and bought a flattop
and start selling tacos in Palmdale.
- One thing this dude was saying,
he was like, "Man, keep your foot on the gas."
- [Host] Yes, sir.
- He cool though.
(Keith laughs)
- At the end of the day,
Keith is about the bonds he's made,
his community, and sharing delicious food with friends.
Like Henry Ford once said,
"If everyone is moving forward together,
"then success takes care of itself."
And that's what's good in your hood.
- Boy, yeah!
The Foodminati business, boy!
- So, what's the future of All Flavor No Grease?
- I want the world to know about All Flavor No Grease.
- The whole US is gonna be just
like your neighborhood. - Yeah.
- And you just wanna travel all over the world.
- All over the world, one quesadilla at a time.
- All over the world, one quesadilla at a time, baby.
(Keith laughs)
- [Announcer] Pull it up on the ocho.
All Flavor's finest.
