"Do you have your heart set on eating precisely one big spoonful of mac and cheese along with a single rib, a fried chicken wing, some candied yams, and four to five green beans? If so, go to Jacob’s. At this Harlem buffet, you scoop your own food and pay by the pound, and you can get everything from okra and oxtails to beef short ribs and sweet buttered corn. Throw a sauce-slathered pork rib over your bounty like a cherry on top of a sundae. Most people take their food to go, but we like finding a seat in the dining room, watching some news on the TV, and eating our custom-built hodgepodge of soul food while it’s hot." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, will hartman, willa moore
