Crispy chicken sandwich straight from the kitchen of Fresh Soul paired with tasty fries and a refreshing sweet tea = one happy gal! 😍 I also finally got to see their students in action! One student in their program took my order and another helped prepare my food. They did such an outstanding job! 👏👏
I feel like I would be keeping a secret if I didn’t tell everyone about this comfort food kingdom. With cornbread, baked beans, potato salad, on the menu you know this is the ultimate fall season destination. The best part? It’s right down the hill on 5th Ave!
Their menu it truly perfect for all times of the day. They have lighter options, chicken sandwiches for lunch and bigger options for dinner. They also have family meal options where you can call in, pick up, and be the favorite parent for the night. 😜 Seriously though, if you gotta impress or makeup to someone, Fresh Soul fried chicken is a great place to start! 😂
Okay, okay, I’m done talking about their chicken. So I’m going to talk about the fact that they are actually a nonprofit! They are a job training center for youth ages 14-18. The training program is 12 weeks long and teaches kitchen training, etiquette, food handling skills, budgeting, resume building, interview skills, job search and SO much more. 🥰
This is incredible!!!! Fresh Soul relies on donations, grants and sponsorships to be able to put on this program for teens. If you want to see the teens in action, make sure to stop by after 3:30/4ish when school gets out and they come on in to the kitchen. 👏👏 If you would like to support their cause and donate, visit their website!
Fresh Soul is open Wednesday to Saturday from noon to 7pm. I was able to chat with some of the staff there and was welcomed right in. The chef came over to chat during my meal, it was awesome! I can’t wait to go back and try the ribs. 😋
