Description:

Students from nearby Columbia University, uptown church ladies, savvy New Yorkers, and VIP's (like former President Clinton) all feel at home in this inexpensive, soul-food restaurant. Owner, Caterer and former Wilhemina model, Norma Jean Darden, serves comfort food based on family recipes from Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine, the best-selling cookbook she wrote with her sister, Carole.
The bright and cozy dining room with its red and white checkerboard tile floor and ruffled strawberry curtains is modeled after their mother, Miss Mamie Jean Sampson Darden's, Alabama kitchen.

School teacher, social worker and business woman, Miss Mamie was (according to her daughters) "one of the most 'liberated' woman we ever knew. "Adventurous and well traveled, she sampled many cuisines from around the world, but loved best the food of her own Southern and Midwestern roots.
