"Chef Michauxnée Olier continues her family legacy of cooking soul food in the East Bay with the opening of Willows & Pine at 3525 Fruitvale Avenue in Oakland. Olier’s great-grandparents once ran a celebrated soul food restaurant called the Barn in West Oakland. Now she’s back to resume serving dishes such as “shrimp and crawfish chowder served with biscuit or cornbread, chicken etouffee and jambalaya with shrimp, chicken and sausage,” per East Bay Nosh." - Lauren Saria
