Good for Ted!
He has a good message.
BTW, it has been a long time since I got my grammar training, but this doesn't sound right: "There were chicken and fish on their plates, ..."
What say you FR grammar experts?

It has been even longer for me, but I think even if the plates were now empty you have a point.

"There" was a fire and...
"There" were two banditos coming at me and...
There is probably a rule on this but I'm way past remembering specific grammar rules.

Oh no, Mississippi freepers shouldn’t be worried about a grammar thing when we’re talking abut fried catfish and fried chicken. I’ve spent a lot of time in Georgia and I’m sure it was fried, what else can you do with chickens and catfish?
