There’s nothing like digging into a delicious meal, and soul food is often a good way to go. Luckily, you won’t have to travel far to find it. Love Food, the publisher that hails itself “the tastiest guide on the web,” spotlighted the best soul food restaurants in the U.S. Its report states:
“Nothing beats the comfort of soul food. Here are the best restaurants celebrating the African-American tradition, where many of the recipes have been passed down through generations. Expect the likes of collard greens, beans, cornmeal in many forms, along with crispy catfish, pork and tender fried chicken. The term ‘soul food’ first appeared in the 1960s, when ‘soul’ was a word used to describe African-American culture.”
So, where can you find the best soul food restaurant in Illinois? Love Food says it’s located in Chicago. Here’s why Kathryn’s Soul stands out among the rest of the restaurants in the state:
“Flavourful food and great big portions are what you get at Kathryn’s Soul, a restaurant in Chicago French Market. Owner Kathryn Miles started cooking age 10, and after working in the corporate world for 20 years, gave it up to pursue her restaurant dreams. Customers love the shrimp and grits appetiser and meatloaf which comes with a choice of sides including creamy spinach, mac ‘n’ cheese and garlic red skin potatoes. The banana pudding is the dessert to order.”
