Customizable soul food bowls, vegan options, jerk chicken

"Soul Bowl, which departed the food hall in September, held a grand opening at North Minneapolis’s new V3 Sports Center yesterday, November 19, just six blocks away from where it launched as a pop-up seven years ago. “We’re bringing vibrancy back to Plymouth Avenue and honoring our roots by serving the city we love,” Gerard said in an opening announcement. The new spot has an expanded menu, including tacos and burgers, breakfast and coffee options, and more." - Justine Jones

"Chef Gerard Klass and Brittney Alise Klass’s Soul Bowl is beloved for its customizable soul food bowls: Start with bases like creamy mac and cheese or yellow rice, add veggies (think sweet plantains, smoked mushrooms, and candied yams), and finish with meats like barbecue chicken or Cajun salmon. This location is in Graze food hall." - Justine Jones, Alex Lodner

"I was intrigued by Soul Bowl’s crab boil wings, which were named as one of the four foods that most caught my eye." - Justine Jones

"I’d recommend Soul Bowl for its jerk chicken bowls." - Justine Jones

"In Section 112, Chef Gerard Klass’s soul food is a fixture: jerk chicken bowls glazed with a spicy pineapple jerk sauce and served with sweet plantains and yellow rice, which I like to pair with Soul Bowl’s house-made Queen B lemonade pouches." - Justine Jones
