Boston Restaurant Closings, Winter 2022 | Eater Boston

"A Fields Corner restaurant that combined Southern soul food and Asian flavors, it opened after a long build-up in February 2020 just weeks before the initial COVID shutdown. Founded by chef-owner Anthony Caldwell — who transitioned from private chef and caterer after crowdfunding and a local pitch win — the spot prioritized community work, from donating leftovers to shelters and mentoring youth to hiring local residents. Caldwell has spoken openly about learning to cook during a period of incarceration and about his recovery from alcohol addiction, which inspired the restaurant’s name. The team announced a planned closure on social media, framing it as the end of a chapter rather than the end of their story." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
