cooking.

For appetizers, the Lunch Bunch tried the “Sisters Sisters Shrimps” and the fried okra, and both were tasty.

Irene ordered the fried chicken with green beans and collard greens as sides. She said the chicken was crispy and juicy, and the collards were great. Her whole plate represented classic Southern cuisine.
