Soul food restaurant · Chatham

"What started out as a sweet tea business, Oooh Wee It Is has expanded into a nostalgic (and entertaining) cereal bar and soul food joint in Chatham. This place has live music weekly, and is open for brunch and dinner. You’ll find favorites such as fried catfish, juicy green beans and white potatoes, and smothered pork chops with rice. However, one of the best things here are the pot roast cupcakes. This appetizer is a sweet corn muffin, layered with mashed potatoes, tender pot roast with gravy, and garnished with shredded cheese and green onions. Diners have been mixing these ingredients together on their plates since forever, it’s about time someone gave it the recognition it deserves." - phaithe norman, adrian kane
