Shaw-nae’s House

Soul food restaurant · Stapleton

@infatuation

"The city’s best soul food can be found in Stapleton Heights, in a restaurant that looks like a living room complete with a fake fireplace, mismatched mugs, and a sign that reads, “everything is possible.” Your host is Shaw-naé Dixon, who flits around blowing kisses and recommending the Sugar Daddy Wings. Get those, and also the soft, star anise-laced oxtails, and the soul fries layered with fried catfish, mac and cheese, and collard greens. Plus a $32 rum punch pitcher. Bring a group and come ridiculously hungry." - willa moore
