As a west coast girl, knowing what good soul food consisited of never my forte.
Then I moved to Atlanta for almost a year...driving...so i got to experience diff states in the souths sould food. Collared greens always sounded scary to me and if you werent tuna, salmon or something i usually find on my sushi menu...you are prob a fish i havent bothered to give a chance :)
well after having fried catfish with some great traditional sides while in Nashville, then again while living in ATL, i feel i can give a better opinion.
Living in AZ, I was weary to even attempt to find some soul food. But after reading some Yelp reviews, I decided Off Da Hook was worth a shot. And thank goodness, because their catfish was amazing, collards were great and red beans and rice phenomenal.
Needless to say, i'll be back.
If you are in AZ and appreciate great soul food, then maybe ill run into you :)
