"Opened in 2014 by owner Gretchen Shoemaker in the Anaheim Packing District, this family-owned soul food restaurant built a loyal following and is expanding with a second location planned for early 2019 at the Long Beach Exchange (LBX) in North Long Beach. The menu celebrates traditional soul food with New Orleans influences—standout dishes include po’ boys, red beans and rice, and jambalaya—and the original Orange County location reportedly generates about $2 million in annual revenue. The addition is regarded as a smart fit within LBX’s curated mix of diverse eateries." - Mona Holmes
