"After six years in an Emeryville food hall, I watched Fernay McPherson bring slow, deliberate soul-food craft to a Fillmore Street storefront that feels like a homecoming: brown-butter cornbread squares, gooey mac and cheese, candied yams glazed in syrup, and exceptional herb-redolent fried chicken populate a room where grainy A Different World reruns and a black-and-white Fillmore cityscape evoke neighborhood nostalgia and long-standing relationships with diners." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
