I finally got a chance to chow down at "The America's Next Great Restaurant" winner Jamawn Woods new restaurant Soul Daddy in NYC. The restaurant is located in a prime location in the South Street Seaport. Soul Daddy serves a healthier and lighter take on traditional soul food.
No fried chicken here! I ordered the bake chicken meal for $8.95 which comes with 2 sides and a choice of a Whole Wheat Biscuit or a Corn Bread Waffle. I had them both and they were excellent. The biscuit was light and flaky. The waffle was moist and I could taste a hint of buttermilk. For the sides I choose Cheese Grits and Braised Kale. My dinner date got wild rice salad with a mix green salad.
For vegetarians $7.95 gets you a plate of four side dishes.
The food was great and the potion size as you can see is pretty good. The quality of the was great and I hope it stays that way. Everything tasted freshly made. The bake chicken was divine and season to perfection, I thought. Damn that was good chicken. I can't wait till Soul Daddy's menu is developed a little more, to include light desserts choices like a peach cobbler, fruit crumble or sweet potato tart.
The atmosphere was very clean and modern. It was cozy. It has a similar feel to me as Shake Shack. I would definitely choose to eat at Soul Daddy again. If your in the NYC area go spend a day at the South Street Seaport. Eat at Soul Daddy Restaurant and let me know what you think. Lets support Jamawn Woods dream of having America's Next Great Restaurant.
can't wait to try the food!!
