So what exactly is fufu? This traditional dish was actually a staple food in West and Central Africa. It's essentially a thick paste made from boiling starchy root vegetables and is served with soups and stews.

Our soul food is one-of-a-kind and the only way to enjoy something this good is to come down and try it tonight! We promise individually prepared meals and a quality service. Come and see where we put the soul in our food tonight!

You cannot consider yourself a gourmand until you have had a true soul food experience. Loaded with flavors and traditional flavors, we have a menu that will introduce you to a new world of culinary delights. Come by today, and break cornbread with us.

When African slaves fled to the North or relocated following emancipation, they took many of their recipes with them: such as biscuits and molasses, collard greens, fried catfish, and butter beans. These culinary traditions have evolved into what today is known as soul food.

What would soul food be without family and friends to share it with? Take the fellowship out of soul food and it doesn't quite taste the same. At the heart of everything we cook is the thought of the people who will be sharing it. We always remember to add a dash of love and a sprinkling of friendly banter to make the meal taste better.

Although soul food has its roots in the rural south, it's not considered the same type of cuisine as Southern food. Rather, this cuisine centers around recipes prepared for generations by African Americans-since the time of slavery.

Do you know why fried chicken has become such a central dish when it comes to soul food? Most African slaves were only allowed to raise chickens for their protein source (rather than more expensive meats), so this quickly became a mainstay in many homes.

While fried chicken is a popular dish in African soul food cuisine, it was actually brought over to the United States by Scottish immigrants. African slaves adopted this dish, using different seasonings and spices to make it their own.

Be prepared and let all your other dining establishments know - because after your first meal with us, we doubt you will want to eat anywhere else because we know you will not be able to eat as well as you will here.
