Mitchell's Soul Food

He guys, I'm back.  Last week my wife and I were deciding on where we should have dinner.  With a big smile on her face she said, "Let's have some soul food."  All I did was smile.  She search on her Iphone using the google app and found, "Mitchell's Soul Food"; 617A Vanderbilt Ave (between St. Marks Ave and Bergen St) Brooklyn, NY 11238.  So we drove over there.  Stepping in to Mitchell's was exciting.  We were all hungry and ready to chow down.  The place was small with a nice dining area.  We sat right down and looked at the menu.  They had barbeque chicken, ribs, fried chicken, fried catfish, oxtail, and I can go on.  What I compare soul food to is the dinner or they say "supper" on the show, "Little House on the Prairie" and I remember them eating golden fried chicken, hmmmmm so I ordered half fried chicken with okra and tomato with potato salad and my wife ordered short ribs and collard greens and our daughter ordered mac and cheese.  All entrees come wth 2 sides and corn, wheat, or white bread.  When dinner was ready, bell going off in my head lol, we sat patiently for the waiter to place our food.  When I saw that fried chicken, I bit into it like it was the first meal I had in 2 days.  It's like being really hungry but peacefully devouring the food and enjoying every single flavorful bite.   The sides complimented the chicken really well.  My wife was speechless.  She just kept chewing and enjoyed her meal and our daughter who is so hyper and hates to be in one place actually sat down and enjoyed her mac and cheese until she finished her plate.  Over all the service was great, atmosphere was pleasing and the food...well, exactly what "soul food" is - a soothing, comfort food.
