Fried Chicken
The anchor of the menu — properly seasoned with a shatteringly crisp crust and juicy interior that signals real brine time, not a shortcut
Collard Greens
Long-cooked and deeply savory — the kind that taste like they were tended, not rushed
Mac and Cheese
Rich and baked with a pull-apart crust, made from scratch rather than dressed up boxed pasta
V
Cornbread
Served with a touch of sweetness — a reliable tell of kitchen care when it hits right
