Best Soul Food Restaurants
Inspired by the fact that Guy is on the board at 4 am!
In Los Angeles: Aunt Kizzy's Back Porch in Marina del Rey, Stevie's on the Strip on Crenshaw
In Birmingham: Niki's West
How about some other good ones?

What is soul food?

Does Popeyes fried chicken count?
Trying to get soul food in N. CA is like trying to get...chittlins in Baghdad.

No, but I LOVE Popeye's Fried Chicken! They have great red beans and rice.
I'm activating a cell in your AO to locate what you need.

Popeye's out here are a pain in the ass. If I don't want side orders why do have to take them?
I took my side orders and gave them to this home-less guy holding a sign down the street.

Auxiliaries recommend the following:
Southern Café on MacArthur in the Diamond District (not far from the lake)
Sweetie Pie and Poppy on Martin Luther King Way & 54th

Bump
I'm bumping this thread because some of the serious discussions are getting mighty serious.
We can't break bread to ease some of the tension, we sure can talk about food.
MOO, it's hard to beat Aunt Kizzy's, but Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles should be in the mix of any discussion about soul food.
As for Popeye's-- IMO, it falls into a category unto itself.

Is Chason's still in the Fayetteville area? They had a traditional southern fried menu to include soul food dishes. Ate there many times back in the day and will do so again if I ever go back. It's hard to find places like that on the West Coast. Agree with some of the others that the best soul food restaurants over here are in the Los Angeles area.
For fast food I actually prefer Popeyes over Kentucky Fried Chicken or Church's.

Oh yea, it's still there. I never knew it was there until a few months ago and it's GREAT food for sure. The original Chason's was awesome.

Fred died many years ago.
The current restaurant is run by his Grandsons, IIRC.

Where is the new one? I only knew of the one in Lumber Bridge that burned down some years back. I'm out here in Pinebluff but when I'm in Fayetteville, it would sure be nice to hit Chasons again....jd
