Beans & Cornbread: A Soulful Bistro

Cozy like a family room, the dining area has purple walls that display a collection of vintage magazine covers of prominent black Americans. Lines can be long, but lovers of Southern home cooking will find the wait well worth the effort. Items such as barbecue ribs, filet mignon and fried pork chops are served with traditional soul food accompaniments—from collard greens, black-eyed peas and grits to macaroni and cheese and candied sweet potatoes.
