Sweet Potato Sensations

"Sweet potato ice cream, chicken and sweet potato waffles, sweet potato cookies and cornbread — Sweet Potato Sensations does it all, working hard to preserve the legacy of George Washington Carver, an agricultural scientist, professor, and environmentalist who learned more than 100 uses for the sweet potato and other plants native to the South. The locals’ move at the Old Redford neighborhood bakery is to try the pie first for its creamy texture, warming spices, and buttery crust. Etta Mae’s salmon croquettes (best served on a flaky butter croissant), the Jive Turkey Sandwich (prized for its hickory smoked pile of meat), and the black-eyed pea and collard green soup are worthy contenders, too. Place an order at the counter, where you’ll find a display case filled with the spot’s creations. Have a seat in the small, casual dining room lined with art or grab and go to impress everyone at your next dinner party." - Serena Maria Daniels
