Every great soul food plate is symphonic in nature. There’s the rich medley of textures and flavor profiles: the satisfying, savory crunch of fried chicken skin, giving way to the juicy, slick meat underneath. The electric orange comfort of candied yams, sweet and buttery and sliding around your tongue. The bright tanginess of greens sopping into soft, sturdy masses of mac-n-cheese and potato salad. The multiplicity of combinations and condiments—hot sauces, jerk seasoning, ketchup, barbecue—creating infinite culinary possibilities.
