"A long-standing soul-food institution run by owner Jessie Green (nicknamed “Big Momma”), known for classic Southern dishes such as collard greens, candied yams, fried catfish, and especially her fried chicken and round, breaded croquettes formed by hand. The kitchen’s hands-on techniques—battering, frying, shaping croquettes—reflect recipes and traditions passed down through generations; visiting chefs credit this cooking as foundational, calling such places “living treasures” that deserve support and recognition." - Terri Ciccone
