Challenge Accepted! In search of the best soul food in CLE

Ah the powers of Facebook.  Not only did a social media network bring the Original Asian and I back together after a four year hiatus, but Facebook is where I get my news AND new challenges.  Yesterday I ate at Angie's Soul Cafe truck that was parked downtown near the Galleria on East 9th Street.  Angie's Soul Cafe has a store front in three locations, but none are close enough to walk for lunch.  www.angiessoulcafe.com/
The food is pretty good for coming out of a truck.  Not too mention living in Cleveland does not yield that many soul food establishments.   It nice to roll out of the building I work and get a decent smothered pork chop and greens for a reasonable price.

After lunch, I posted on Facebook that I am a soul food freak...which is completely true.  The Husband and I plan our vacations according to where we can get good Southern cooking.  So, we have pretty much vacationed in the south exclusively.  Heck, I decided I am moving to Savannah, GA the week after I retire with or without my family.

Living here in CLE, the soul food we eat, I cook myself: shrimp and grits, greens, black eye peas, cornbread.  Yesterday, a friend from high school asked me via Facebook where is my favorite place to get soul food in Cleveland.  For a split second, I was going to answer her...but then I realized I couldn't.  I do not have a favorite place to get soul food in Cleveland.  I have not tried enough establishments to give a recommendation on the best soul food restaurant in my opinion.  So, Christina, in the words of Barney Stinson: Challenge Accepted!  Because I am putting the kolachky caper to rest, I will be actively seeking out the best soul food in Cleveland.  Yum.
