Best Soul Food
The Peach Tree Buffet
The term "soul food" supposedly originated in the 1960s, but the cooking style is classic African-American that is centuries old. At the gracious Peach Tree Buffet, which is done up in cool shades of melon, peach and ivy, diners can pile white china plates with creamy macaroni and cheese, golden fried chicken, and collard greens swimming in fragrant "potlikker" (the nutritious, slightly bitter juice of the cooked greens) ready to be soaked up with freshly baked corn bread. There's always chicken, macaroni, sweet potatoes, greens and fluffy hot rolls, but the featured specials change daily -- gravy-smothered pork chops and meatloaf are especially good for the soul. Eat as much as you like, but save room for bread pudding, with a thick, sugary frosting, or lattice-crust peach cobbler.
