Soul food can come in slightly different forms and mean slightly different things to different people, but at its heart it means comfort food.
Several restaurants in Chattanooga offer different takes on soul food from moderately upscale variations to more modest (some might say honest) renditions of traditional Southern cooking.
While many new and shiny restaurants continue to pop up in the Chattanooga market, the Eat 1 restaurant on McCallie Avenue is churning out simple but well done cooking at a good price.
THE MENU
The basic menu at Eat 1 is simple, with wings, sandwiches and dinner plates served simply.
