Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours serves up a fresh take on soul food, blending Southern favorites with inventive cocktails in a warm, inviting space.
"Unlike your wayward auntie who is forever banned from family cooking duties, Twisted does an excellent job remixing soul food favorites. Instead of raisin-topped potato salad, you’ll find cilantro-chili salmon rolls, hoisin-glazed oxtails, crispy fried chicken with sweet potato chutney, and cocktails made from ingredients like matcha and sorrel. The wood paneled dining room even feels like a house, but feel safe in the knowledge that Aunt Irene won’t be showing up with a tray for this family brunch." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
