Scends

Fried Chicken

Well-seasoned with a firm, craggy crust and juicy dark meat that stays tender — the undisputed centerpiece of the menu

Mac and Cheese

Baked rather than stovetop, with a set custard interior and lightly browned top — the kind that earns its own plate space

Collard Greens

Long-cooked with smoked meat until silky, with enough pot likker to know they weren't rushed

Candied Yams

Sweet and deeply spiced, soft through the center with a caramelized edge — a reliable crowd pleaser

Cornbread

Dense and lightly sweet, best alongside greens or used to soak up any remaining sauce on the plate
