25 New & Exciting Restaurant Openings To Look Forward To In 2023 - The Infatuation

"This legendary soul food spot was a favorite among celebrities like Muhammad Ali, Richard Pryor, and B.B. King before it was destroyed by an earthquake in 2001. But Ms. Helen and her daughter are set to open a new restaurant with the same signature stewed oxtails, fried chicken wings, and pork chops. The opening reflects the city’s conscious effort to stave off gentrification in Seattle’s historically Black Central District by prioritizing locally-owned businesses like Ms. Helen’s. Expect Southern classics like chicken gumbo and sausage and eggs over grits, plus a wide selection of sides like silky greens and candied yams." - anne cruz
