Today marked the day of the annual Soul Food Lunch at St. James United Methodist Church (5 N Willow Ave, Fayetteville).
For $5, you can get a meal of fried chicken, collard greens, beans, coleslaw, cornbread, dessert, and a drink. All proceeds go to the Church, and their efforts to renovate the Church (just check out that new steeple!).
We’ve been attending this annual event for several years. When it comes time for my birthday (Feb 25th), I know it’s time for lunch at St. James.
It’s served in the basement of the Church. You can sit down at tables and eat with others from the community, or get it to go. We usually eat there because it’s a lot of fun meeting and talking to people.
This year, they had FRIED CATFISH as a substitute for the chicken. We got the fish, and it was GREAT. For dessert, we snagged Sweet Potato Pie.
For $5, it’s the best meal deal in town. They really should charge more! We always give an extra donation.
I can’t wait until next year!
Happy Birthday!! Foodie!
