What City or State Has the Best Soul Food

[STEVE]

My favorite restaurant in America is South City Kitchen in Atlanta but Memphis and NOLA are amazing.

The shyt you saying really doesn't matter...
Black culture in Atlanta is a lot more prevalent than it is in Dallas yet the black food in Dallas(and Los Angeles) is better than the black food in Atlanta

And idk about soul food as a whole but the fried chicken I've had in Texas is better Than the chicken I've had in Memphis

Well texas as a whole is known for bbq to begin with so i think what i said is relevant when comparing two cities in Texas.

And fried chicken ain't the end all be all of bbq memphis is most known for their dry rub.

South Carolina, hands down.

My grandfather was from Aiken. I've had the best soul food from there, Columbia, and Charleston.

South Carolina along with Virginia and Mississippi were some of the wealthiest slave states and so the wealthy planter families spent alot of money importing dishes and having their house slaves experiment with cooking methods from Europe.

So the house slaves from those states were able to become experienced with cooking with high quality ingredients and perfecting american dishes with European cooking methods.

It's no coincidence that the best soul food comes from those states.

What I'm saying is just because a city has more black culture doesn't automatically make their soul food better

City that has the best culinary scene in the South is New Orleans.

Soul Food though would have to go to Charleston.

Paula Deen's restaurant was in Charleston. Emeril Legasse's in New Orleans.

The food in New Orleans is trash tbh. Me and my old lady went there two years ago, I'm from Dallas she from LA and we both was highly disappointed in everything except them Po Boys we had out the back of that bar, reminds me of tacos out the gas station.

 

[Noriega]

Soul food is WOAT

Mississippi, ATL, Louisiana

Just as long as the cook is pushing 70 it’s gonna be hitting. I would say my home state but with things like this it’s hard to find a legit consensus, because like beauty, it’s all subjective

I got a lot of potnas from the NO. One of them sent me down to the 7th ward(crossing streets was St. Bernard and Durgenois) to Manchu's for yaka mein and chicken and that shyt wasn't good either bruh. Outside of that Po Boy, everything we had in the NO was trash, I can't believe people hype the food up there like that, Dallas has WAAAAY better food it aint even close.
