Juicy, piping hot pieces of freshly fried chicken straight from the grease. Heartily seasoned collard greens laden with flavorful chunks of pork. Soft, perfectly chewy noodles held together by creamy, stringy cheese for an irresistible baked mac. Fried or steamed fresh okra enticing us with remnants of goodness in each bite. With humble beginnings in the Deep South, deeply rooted in African American culture, soul food is the epitome of its title. Slaves made the most of what they were given, experimenting and creating delectable cuisine as a result. While this style of cooking might not be the healthiest, it sure does provide a sense of comfort that is unrivaled. As we wrap up Soul Food Month, ask yourself what you can do to make your clients more comfortable with your relationship. Showing appreciation lets them know just how grateful you are for their business. By sending gifts like Le Grand Encore, you’ll solidify your standings with them.
