Upscale dining fusing global flavors with soul food classics
"Serving free meals every Tuesday between noon and 3 p.m., this North Lawndale spot is also accepting donations via GoFundMe." - Jeffy Mai
"Aside from classics like fried chicken and shrimp and grits, this new Lawndale soul food restaurant also has fusion-y dishes like masala-braised pot roast, and Korean style rib tips. You can order a la carte, or get the “grand tasting” for $59, which comes with three entrees and a nonalcoholic drink (they’re BYOB). The restaurant is very small, and also very cute, with velvet chairs and gold accents all over the place. But the intimate space means that Soul Food Lounge doesn’t accept walk-ins, so if you want their delicious truffle mac and cheese, you need to make a reservation." - adrian kane, john ringor
"The foundation specifically noted her reviews of soul food hit Soulé’s North Lawndale outpost." - Naomi Waxman

"An intimate BYOB spot helmed by a local chef-owner offers 'soul food fusion' that melds flavors from different cultures — examples include Puerto Rican chicken guisado with plantains, Korean-style rib tips, and Louisiana blackened salmon — and occupies a historically significant building tied to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1966 visit." - Naomi Waxman
