Mission

Mission

We come from scratch: we come from a people who, ripped from their respective lands in Africa and enslaved on this one, recreated our lives and nourished our souls with what was available to us—including our faith. Through the hardships wrought by that peculiar institution and its offspring Jim Crow, we scratched out our paths to freedom to lands such as Detroit. We nourished our travels with Grandma’s hopes and dreams of a better world, packed in shoebox lunches and Green Book diners.

With the juiciest baked chicken on this planet, the food here will bring peace to your soul. And the peach cobbler is out of this world 😌

Pretty nice spot on the Eastside of Detroit. The dressing is so good and moist baby it’s real!! The Mac and cheese was tasty and I had smothered baked chicken which was amazing!

Started with the BBQ wing appetizer, followed by the fried chicken lunch, and ice cream for dessert. Jerome took great care of me and I can’t wait to go back!
