Mama Dip's Country Cooking Restaurant, Chapel Hill, NC

We went to Mama Dip's Country Cooking Restaurant in Chapel Hill for dinner Saturday evening.
It was my only chance to get Carolina style BBQ on this trip because most places were closed on Sunday.
We started with an order of hush puppies. They were really good- nicely fried, light, and flavorful.

I ordered the plate of NC BBQ ribs and fried chicken. The ribs were sweet and vinegary, and the pork was nice and tender. The fried chicken was delicious- the skin was really nicely seasoned.
My sides were okra & tomatoes and collard greens with bacon.

I tried my friend Kelly's plate of side items. She got the mac & cheese which was really good, but the best item by far was the yams. They were lightly sweetened, and not heavily candied.

We also ordered a side of fried green tomatoes with our dinners. They were also very good.

Oohhs and Aahhs Soul Food, DC

This weekend, before the Cornelius show at the 9:30 club, I went to soul food restaurant, Oohhs and Aahhs on U street.
I decided on the Fried Chicken breast with some collard greens and mac & cheese. First off, the portions were huge.
The chicken was great; like all good fried chicken, the seasoning on the skin was delicious and the chicken was juicy.

Their mac & cheese was so nice and gooey, and the greens were solid. I also tried a side of yams, and everything came with corn bread.
