Kamala Harris yells out 'shrimp and grits' as reporter shouts out question about Hamas ceasefire deal in Gaza as she exits Detroit restaurant

Vice President Kamala Harris dodged reporters on the campaign trail Monday, creating another awkward moment as she left a restaurant in Detroit Michigan.

Harris made a campaign stop at Joe Louis Southern Kitchen to order food, but did not let reporters join her into the establishment. 

As she walked briskly out of the restaurant with what looked to be a bag of takeout food, one reporter shouted a question about the details surrounding Gaza terror group Hamas accepting a ceasefire.

'Shrimp and grits. You wanted to know? Shrimp and grits,' Harris said quickly without stopping and jumping into a waiting SUV. 

The vice president was visiting Detroit, Michigan on Monday to highlight economic opportunities for black businesses. 

The popular Joe Louis Southern Kitchen is a black owned business that serves a breakfast and lunch menu. 

The menu features a BBQ Cajun smoked turkey leg, breakfast skillets, specialty pancakes, chicken & waffles, and Creole Shrimp & Grits

'We all know black entrepreneurs do not lack for ideas and ambition but often lack the capitol that is necessary to turn an idea into a thriving business,' she said during a speech.

Harris was joined by Acting Secretary Julie Su and Small Business Deputy Administrator Dilawar Syed, and U.S. Secretary of Energy and former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm for her speech. 

She noted that black business owners were three times less likely to apply for loans from banks for fear of being turned down.

Harris promoted more federal spending on new programs to help community banks make more business loans. 

She also vowed to address 'disparities' in the real estate market to boost black home ownership.  

'As a result of lasting legacies, of structural inequities such as segregation, redlining, and so called urban renewal, today black Americans are 40 percent less likely to own a home,' she said.
