Description

Pressing right up against the sidewalk, the homey, family-run Cora Faye's Café has flowers in the window boxes and a sign promising the comforts of "home cook'n" and "soul food" -- code for "comfort food" long before the term was co-opted by restaurants serving up-from-frozen chicken-fried steaks and mashed potatoes out of a box. Here, comfort food has a definite Southern twist - oxtails, collard greens, frog's legs, cornbread and lush, pink red velvet cake - with many of the recipes for this good grub handed down through generations.
