"There are already long lines at the first Chicago outpost of DJ Khaled’s “Miami-style” soul food chain, which opened to much fanfare on social media, and many rappers are among the people who have dined there so far. Among them are Flo Rida, who was among the location’s first customers, and Dreezy and G Herbo were spotted at the new Austin hotspot. Khaled, however, has yet to make an in-person appearance." - Nicole Schnitzler, Eater Staff
