Florida’s culinary scene is set for an exciting addition with the expansion of Nana Morrison’s Soul Food into the Sunshine State. Already a beloved name in North Carolina, this family-run chain is known for its authentic soul food offerings, a cuisine deeply rooted in Southern traditions. With its new outlet opening in Port St. Lucie, Floridians are in for a delightful gastronomic experience.
Soul Food vs. Southern Cuisine
Soul food, often confused with Southern cuisine, has a unique identity. As Mashed explains via “How Stuff Works,” while all soul food is Southern, not all Southern food falls under the soul food category. Soul food’s origins in the South give it some common ground with Southern cuisine, but as Wide Open Country notes, Southern food has a broader range of dishes compared to the more focused menu of soul food. Nana Morrison’s epitomizes this focused approach, offering a selection that celebrates the essence of soul food.
A Menu That Satisfies All Appetites
Nana Morrison‘s menu is designed to cater to varying appetites. Patrons can choose combos like two meats, two sides, and bread for $23.99, or a smaller portion of one meat with sides for $15.49. The meat options include succulent choices like ribs, fried chicken, fried fish, and smothered pork chops. The sides are equally enticing, with options like black-eyed peas, collard greens, potato salad, and stuffing.
