Just last week I ventured off to Charlotte North Carolina. The City is beautiful and filled with amazing things to see and do. Of course everyone knows what I set my heart out to do. Eat! On several occasions, I’d heard the Reverend Al Sharpton talk about this soul food restaurant named Mert’ s Heart and Soul. Continuously bragging about their famous cornbread, that supposedly taste like cake, I had to see for myself if this restaurant knew what they were doing.
As it turns out, the Reverend was indeed correct. The cornbread
was out of this world. Other items were
just as scrumptious however, what stuck out in my mind even after a week, were
their egg rolls. People, I’m not talking
about just any egg roll here. I’m taking
about “Soul Rolls.” Thinking outside of the box that made for one amazing
appetizer, the inside of these babies consist of black eyed peas, rice, collard
greens, and diced chicken breast. Served
with a spicy honey mustard sauce, as I took my first bite, I thought to myself
how awesome the combination was.
Michiganders, if you ever make your way towards Charlotte,
stop by Mert’s Heart and Soul. Before you order an entrée, it’s a must you
order their “Soul Rolls.” Like the
Maxwell House coffee commercial, they are definitely good to the last drop.
