"Opened by a chef who left a sales and marketing career to follow a culinary tradition learned from her grandmother, the restaurant blends fine-dining sensibilities with everyday Southern dishes. Its bestseller is Big Mama’s Fried Chicken, and the menu’s collard greens, cornbread, fried chicken and fried fish reflect a conscious effort to celebrate the food heritage of Black women cooks while building a successful contemporary business that honors their spirit." - Debra Freeman
