The motto at this East Village cafe is “Shut up and eat it!” Don’t be offended by this, it’s all you’ll want to do once they serve you a heaping plate of fried chicken, greens and mashed potatoes. Once you get past the motto, the staff members here are all very sweet natured and polite. You’ll be served from behind a cafeteria style counter with steaming, deliciously smelling trays of their homemade comfort food. Grab a tray, take it to your table, and possibly give your children their very first food coma. The portions are enormous, prices are cheap and the cooking really is just like mom used to make; assuming mom was a chef in Louisiana.
