Miss Leon’s Soul Food's fried chicken has built quite the following around town, featured at venues including Rehab Bar & Grill and Hiro Asian Kitchen. Fans will be happy to learn that her wares will soon be available weekly.

“We both have a passion for cooking,” said chef-owner Leon Braxton, noting that she and Capitalist Pig chef-owner Ron Buechele have a similar focus on southern cooking. “It’s like two great minds coming together.”

Sides offered include mashed potatoes and gravy, greens, sweet buttered corn, mac n cheese and rotating seasonal options.
