In 1999 when Jay Wilson mortgaged his home to take the biggest risk of his life, many said he was going into unchartered territory. Every professional chef knows, there is a highly involved process when preparing and serving soul food. The level of patience needed for such an endeavor pushes the limits of human excellence. This has been our vantage point from day one under the tutelage of Jay. When it's time to eat, count on us for the family style home cooking you crave. We are so happy to see you dine in or carry out!
