When I created the "Ghetto Burger" people thought I was "thowed off". Another one of Demietriek's crazy ideas. A few short year's later we have sold nearly 75,000 of these burgers. Truth is, the term "Ghetto Burger" was never meant to be a derogatory name. It's a tribute to where I come from and the spirit of the people I grew up with. When you grow up in the ghetto, you have to be resourceful. You have to make due with what you have. You have to share what little you have with those around you. When I was growing up, we didn't eat out much. My mom cooked religiously. When we wanted fast food, more times than not we got a "ghetto" burger. Be honest. You've had one before. Mom seasoned that ground beef, cut up some seasoning, and dropped it between some Bunny Bread. The Ghetto Burger is a celebration of that spirit. Now food trucks and catering companies all over the US have come up with their own version of the Ghetto Burger. I see ya'll, but just know that what we have over here is the "Origino"!! Now when people travel to New Orleans from all over the world they seek me out to get that fix. People from all walks of life. Rich and poor. All races and ethnicities. Think about the irony. Those of us from the ghetto were trying to get out. Now I'm able to give people a inside look in my own little way through my food. #ChefScott #NOLAFoods #OriginoGhettoBurger #RealFoodForRealPeople (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/nolafoods/p/BuwPDB8gRsq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18jzje33vqbqa
