    When I was growing up in the south, we didn't call it soul food. We just called it food. It was always delicious and wonderful. My grandmother had 10 kids. She pretty much, cooked from sunup to sundown. I learned to cook from her and my mother.

    There used to be a place like this in/near Atlanta that was great!
    I would arrive at where I was unloading during the night & catch some sleep.
    They would wake me up & I would start to unload garments.
    It sucked, but I was a lot younger & didn't realize it.😉😆
    Then lunchtime hit & they told me about this joint a couple of blocks away..
    Damn that food was good!😋
