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?

It's food traditionally prepared and eaten by Southern African-Americans and seemingly adored by hip European-Americans.

Sigba,
I have to say I don't think I've ever had any true soul food. I'll have to try Chason's next time I'm at Bragg.
Does minority food in other parts of the world count? Because I love monkey meat when prepared by hill tribes

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.

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.

Agreed. I'll also add M&M, which has several locations including Crenshaw near Rodeo.
