"On historic Auburn Ave in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood, Auburn Angel honors the legacy of the area and the former Auburn Avenue Rib Shack space, and I appreciated that founder Asa Fain and co-owner/chef Robert Butts spent years developing a menu rooted in the neighborhood’s history. The restaurant highlights flavors and ingredients from across the South, and I sampled regional dishes like Potliker and Hoe Cakes as well as Fumée Chicken, a preparation popular in Southern Louisiana with Creole and Cajun influences." - Tori Allen
