"Eloise & Earnestine isn’t the best soul food in Liberty City—it’s the best we’ve had in the whole county. People line up here for short ribs, oxtails, chitterlings, collard greens, and mac and cheese. The move is to order one of the dinner options. Each order comes with your choice of meat, rice, two sides, and a tiny piece of moist cornbread shaped like a miniature beret. We love the oxtail. It slips right off its star-shaped bones and is covered in a rich gravy that seeps into the rice. They’re open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but get there early because they run out of daily specials fast." - India Amos, Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo
