I also wonder about the way it is used today, mainly in black communities, to refer to how someone cooks well. As in “girl you put yo foot in dis chicken.” I think it is a reference to when a dog puts his foot in a plate to lick every last morsel off so as not to miss a drop. The dog had to work hard to get it all therefore “he put his foot in it” to hold the plate down to accomplish the feat.
