Everyone should check out this healthy soul food spot off of Slauson in Los Angeles.
The food is definitely made with soul. The music is classic. If you like artists like Delfonics, Isley Brothers, Curtis Mayfield, etc. etc., this place is just for you. Not only is the food fresh, light, and delicious, the music definitely complements the whole entire satiated experience. You will leave full...but it's a good type of full. It's not the "sick to the stomach---I can't walk" type of full. It's the "Yum, I feel great and healthy and cultured" type of full. ha.

What I love most about this spot is that the folks who run the restaurant and health food store are genuinely friendly. They will go out of their way to welcome newcomers and instantaneously make you feel at home. They will actually ask for your name and make you feel like part of their family.

It feels really good to see community members owning and running their own businesses...and it's really good to see immediate community members patron the restaurant and health food store. It's just good to know that the money is circulated back to the community.... That's how it should be...

I think it's important to also have the health component integrated with the community. Especially if we look at the socio-economics & food politics behind fast food joint locations (usually in predominantly low-income, people of color neighborhoods), which virtually offers no other healthy alternative but for folks to purchase "affordable"--UNHEALTHY food.

Simply Wholesome not only is that healthy "alternative" but it also provides literature on herbs, diets, exercise, etc.... It provides folks natural care products as well. WHAT A HOLISTIC EXPERIENCE!
