I was raised by Mississipians, and don't really consider "Southern Food" "Soul Food," but that's me. I kinda associate cheap, cheap, stuff with "Soul Food" - again, just me. That said, my question is - anyplace around have chitlins on offer every day? The only place I knew of that did was Army and Lou's if I'm not mistaken.

Yep, Army and Lou's is closed, and that's the last place I had chitterlings in the States. I have them every decade, hoping they'll start to taste better...and they do!

Or how about Daley's, maybe the oldest Soul Food place in the world, hard by the 63rd Street L since 1892. The thought of grits, greens, eggs and salt pork or a hot link has me thinking I'd better get down there soon.

I thought Schaller's closed recently, so it's no longer an operating restaurant.
