WWJD for dinner on Easter? Clearly he’d be hungry after the previous week and he’d head to the South Side for soul food, I’m pretty sure. This evening, a group of friends rolled down to Chatham to the oldest black-owned restaurant in the Midwest. We were greeted with super-friendly service. With little prompting, we all opted for their all-you-can-eat Sunday dinner buffet.
What I ate: fried catfish, ham, fried chicken, slow-roasted duck, mashed potatoes, collard greens, crowder peas, macaroni and cheese, corn muffin, mixed vegetables, sweet potato pie, blackberry cobbler.
What I didn’t eat: herb roasted chicken, beef, sweet potatoes, mixed greens, leg of lamb, turkey, cornbread dressing, gravy, cake, salad bar.
The buffet was $22.95 per person. Apologies for the lack of commentary but I’m still in a food coma. I don’t even remember driving home.
