What's your go-to Soul Food?

[Islandboy]

Growing up in Hawaii, my go-to’s are Saimin/Ramen, Lau Lau/Lomi Salmon/Poi, and of course - spam musubi (I actually prefer the chicken version).

FYI, the Hapa Ramen at Star Noodle in Lahaina is the pinnacle of hangover/comfort food.

Yep, but not my photo, good eye!

You know the foods good when the locals are eating there... Best bird Ive ever had!

[foursite12]

Homemade tacos in the spring and summer..

Homemade chili and the NFL in the fall.

Perhaps the ultimate comfort food is Julia Child's Cassoulet for a Crowd in winter. It's a real project, but oh, so worth the time and effort. The recipe is a small book.

[SloppyJ]

Spring: Deep fried crappie and morel mushrooms

All other times: Fried chicken w/ mashed potatoes and gravy

Dessert: Banana Pudding 

Now i'm hungry..............

[Chompers79]

Chicken Kapitan

[Danimalia]

Fried catfish and okra like my Nana used to make. Fried chicken.

Any type of braised beef (shortribs, oxtails, pot roast) over egg noodles.

When I travel abroad, I find myself missing hot links on a bun with mayo, BBQ sauce and fresh red onion.

[BellevilleMXZ]

Great.....now i'm hungry

[Ceephus Banks]

Cajun seasoned pork neckbones or turkey wings slow cooked in the Crock-Pot with a bag of purple hull peas lately. Rest of the time...fried chicken, pork chops or BBQ ribs with Mac and cheese, turnip or mustard greens, black eyed peas and corn bread. Yeah, all that good stuff that shoots your blood pressure through the roof. Fried catfish, plenty of hot sauce and mustard. Cabbage and pinto beans. Ox tails. Ahhhh now I'm hungry.

BabyBack Ribs, Grits, Deep Fried Chicken Steak, Collard Greens, Mac and Cheese, Corn Bread

and if this does not put weight o you where you don't want it nothing will.  Oh, forgot... bean pie and

sweet potato pie!

For me it's gonna be pork sisig--a Filipino comfort food dish that is pork jowls (face), ears, and liver that is boiled, broiled, then grilled to extra crispy, then garnished with egg, calamansi, onions, and topped with fried pork skin.  If I could eat this every day with some garlic rice, I would definitely die quickly (but happy).

I will also strongly recommend Pepperfire and Prince's. No matter what, you're standing in a line.

True that!  Those are great places too.  I hate standing in line but I will do most anything for some hot bird....

[Diabolicalpherpher]

I have a few but depends on the cuisine...

American: Grilled cheese sandwich (american cheese only), fried chicken, mac and cheese, and collared greens with side of corn bread.

Hawaiian: loco moco with side of macaroni salad, and spam musubi.

Japanese: Tamago gohan ( literally translates to egg rice.  Beaten raw egg and soy sauce over steamed white rice), Nekomanma (Miso soup with steamed white rice), curry rice, and Ramen.

Chinese: Lu Rou fan (Soy stewed pork belly and hard boiled egg on steamed white rice) and fried rice.

Mexican: Menudo

Fried frog leg's w/ French potatoes. A Cajun treat.

In the Deep South, Soul Food has it's own special meaning.  For me, a born and bred Son of the Deep South raised on Soul Food, my go to favorite meal is fried pork chops, black eyed peas, turnip greens, fresh home grown tomatoes, and corn bread.  Wash it down with sweet tea.  Had that for dinner last night and left overs tonight were just as good.  

Moon Pies for dessert??

Dude.... Loco Moco not on your list?!?!?!

Haha! Yeah, next on the list.

For those not in the know...take 2 scoops of sticky white rice (the kind you’ll get with any respectable local plate lunch) , put 2 hamburger patties on that, then a couple of over-medium eggs, then top the whole mountain with brown gravy. Loco Moco.

The Loco Moco at a place very near the Kahului Airport called Da Kitchen is the bomb. But you better be hungry. And taking a nap is the next thing you’ll remember.

Moon Pies for dessert??

Sweet potato pie is preferred

Call ahead, carry out! I wish fried chicken was more health-supporting, cuz then I'd eat it every week.

Been a couple of months, so it's Bolton's chicken today.

[fitzy]

Either Kennedy friend chicken (ask for the keel meat it's not on the menu) :

 

Or Chicken Fried Chicken with lots of gravy:

[BrightonCorgi]

No one has mentioned Chicken Fried Steak.  Another American great.  Not served with an honor in the northeast, but in the TOLA region it reigns supreme!!!  Could go for some right now.

[garbandz]

foie gras with truffle.

chateaubriand ,lobster , beluga………….

Absolutely. It's a Nyonya dish from Malaysia, but common in SE Asia.. Exact origins unknown. Good for what ails you any time of the day.

Slow cooked collard greens. I can eat buckets.
