The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week, August 2022 - Eater NY
"Situated in a massive corner storefront right on Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, Cornbread Farm to Soul is the latest link in a three-restaurant chain originating in Newark and Maplewood, New Jersey, founded by Adenah Bayoh and Zadie Smith. Outfitted with upholstered booths, the room is elegant, with ordering done at the counter from a limited menu that highlights fried chicken, but also offers baked chicken, turkey wings, barbecue pork ribs, and a number of fried whiting or catfish entrees, in addition to a classic collection of sides. (The mac and cheese in particularly good, and so is the wedge of cornbread that comes with most meals). A highlight on a first visit was a New Orleans-style catfish po’ boy ($14.99), which came slathered with thick tartar sauce on a demibaguette. The crisply fried fish filets were coated engagingly in a batter laced with herbs for extra flavor. Hey, the fried chicken was great, too." - Eater Staff
