Chef cutting eggplant says the word God appeared in the seeds

BATON ROGUE, LA (KTRK) -- A Louisiana chef says God spoke to him this week through an eggplant.

Jemarcus Brady was chopping up an eggplant at Gino's Italian Family Restaurant in Baton Rouge when he noticed something miraculous.

"When you sliced into it, the pattern showed from the seeds that were forming in the inside the letters G-O-D as God," Brady said. "I couldn't think of anything. I just had to tell somebody to come look at it."

Brady is a father of four and says his faith helped him through financial struggles before he became a chef. He says the significance of the rare eggplant seeds aren't lost on him.

"Through the whole road he's showing me that 'hey I'm real' and that's the only thing you can depend on," Brady said.

"You could cut a million eggplants and you'd probably never see that again, it's that rare. God is within us and he has different ways of showing it within our lives and this is maybe one of 'em," said restaurant owner Gino Marino.

The restaurant has not said what its plans are for the divine eggplant.
